Serpent SDX4 alloy uprights & +2 suspension brackets

Made for the SDX4 1/10th 4WD buggy are Serpent’s new aluminium uprights and suspension brackets. Starting with the rear uprights, the CNC-machined parts are made from aluminium and they are directional and depending on the mounting position they make for a total of 2 degree or 4 degree of rear toe in. The result is less or more side bite and traction. Also new are FR-FR and FR-RR +2 suspension brackets that allow for a wide range of suspension settings. The FR-FR part will make the car easier to drive and it can be used to reduce overall steering or when the buggy is difficult to control in certain track conditions. As for the FR-RR part, the suspension hanger will make the vehicle more aggressive in terms of steering. Both suspension mounts come hard-coated for wear and they are available separately.
