Serpent Eryx 4.0 carbon fibre & aluminium chassis

Coming from Serpent are three different main chassis plates for the Eryx 4.0 touring car. First up is a 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis that is working well on both asphalt and carpet tracks. It helps to generate a good amount of rear traction and a bit less steering and it also comes in handy to avoid traction rolling on super high-bite tracks. Also available is a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis for asphalt racing. It helps to gain steering and response on the expense of a slightly nervous and edgy car behaviour. Last but not least is a 2.0mm aluminium chassis for the use on carpet tracks. It makes for a lower centre of gravity and less traction rolling while keeping a good balance between steering response and an easy to drive car.

Xray T4'16 aluminium flex chassis

Xray have introduced the aluminium flex chassis for the T4’16 touring car. Cut from 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with silver chamfered edges the chassis will offer improved flex over Xray’s standard alloy chassis, thanks to adapting a popular design that utilises herringbone-shaped flex cutouts. The increased torsional flex makes the chassis ideal for low to medium-bite conditions as it helps the car to generate more traction, stability and steering.
