Serpent have introduced an update to their Medius X20 FWD chassis, with a focus on the car’s steering and drivetrain. While the majority of the car remains the same as its predecessor the car now comes with the all new dual ball bearing DJC shafts in the front, and in the rear the all new ball raced CVDs are included as standard. Giving ultra-smooth & silent torque application throughout the suspension and steering travel. Keeping with their successful dual pivot ball suspension system, they have created even more adjustment to fine tune the handling characteristics. Their new steering hub allows adjustment of axle height, offset and roll centre. Utilising these options has allowed their team drivers to create more corner speed over the previous model. And finally you can now have the option to side mount your LiPo battery.
