Announced this week is the new Serpent Medius X20FWD ’21 carbon 1/10-scale electric touring car. Serpent pushed its R&D team to create an improved version of its already successful X20FWD platform and the effort was clearly worth it.
OVERVIEW
X20FWD ’21 improves on the very successful X20FWD touring car. The chassis is based on the popular mid motor design, using a light weight and strong 1-piece motor mount concept, without any interference between the front and rear chassis flex while still allowing center flex adjustability. The advantage for this style of design is to allow maximum flex capabilities without impacting the drivetrain, meaning smoother power delivery, more consistency and less chance of stripping spurs. And it uses the all new dual ball bearing DJC shafts and our new Steering hub allows adjustment of Axle height, offset and Roll center.
