New Serpent Medius X25 Touring Car

Press Release From Serpent:
www.serpent.com/xcart/

The Serpent Medius X25 is the successor of the successful X20 '24.

We have spent a lot of testing and research to improve the X20 '24 to create the new X25 Carbon and Steel version. Of course we kept the outstanding features of the X20 '24, like the low weight, excellent weight distribution and ease of maintenance.

We enhanced the flex characteristics, optimized the geometry, improved the shock geometry, lowered the centre of gravity, and, last but not least, increased reliability—these were all part of the revolution.

CHASSIS:

Of course, our new chassis are symmetric once again. However, our flex philosophy has changed significantly. We took a fresh look at this and developed a different shape that greatly improved the car's handling!

Our 1.2mm steel chassis features a PVD coating, which significantly reduces wear due to its exceptional hardness.

Also available as a optional is a aluminium chassis www.serpent.com/402145

DRIVESHAFTS:

Here we worked on every detail to improve any little twitch. The driveshafts now feature 2 type of joint-crosses to deliver super smooth transmission.

TOP DECK:

"The split top deck philosophy has been maintained for the X25, but the range has shifted towards a softer feel. This change has led to improved performance with the new chassis shape."

SHOCK TOWERS FR/RR :

Our split shock tower design has been modified for better integration with the upper arm mounts. As a result, it is now significantly more durable and reliable, while also being lighter! The design still features incremental adjustment options.

UPPER ARM MOUNT FR/RR :

The assembly of the upper arm mount has been completely redesigned. It is stiffer, more accurate, and lighter.

Main Features:.

LOWER ARM DESIGN:

The proven arm design with various carbon inserts has been retained, but the shock pickup position has been adjusted for improved shock geometry.

IMPROVED ANTI-ROLL BAR LINKAGE:

The linkages for the anti-roll bars have been improved quite a bit. The new construction is more precise and allows for easier adjustment of the tweak.

UPPER ARM DESIGN:

The upper arms have been reinforced, and we are using slightly different materials. This results in a tougher arm that is stronger and improves traction. Additionally, the front arm now includes an adjustable body support screw, which helps maintain a more consistent body height.

Double diff height excentres:

The X25 features a unique double eccentric diff height adjustment, allowing for a wide range of adjustments without the need to change the bulkheads.

MODIFIED UPRIGHT INSERTS

The new inserts have an adjusted offset, enabling compatibility with all brands of rims without requiring special hexes or shims.

SHOCKS:

We have introduced a new 13mm big bore linear shock absorber. Machined shock pistons are included as standard to ensure maximum smoothness and durability. Progressive shocks remain available as options.

Overview of the main specs:

• Serpent linear bigger bore shocks.
• Dampers include machined pistons for optimal consistency.
• Traditional ball-raced LCG anti-roll bar.
• Pivot ball suspension with small balls for simplicity and free movement.
• Softer and reinforced upper arms for improved durability.
• Adjustable front body stop screws.
• Easy differential and spool removal.
• Double eccentric diff height adjustment.
• Reworked upright inserts for more offset, compatible with all brands of rims.
• Extremely low centre of gravity.
• Motor mount holder with adjustable flex.
• Re-Active rear steering (RRS) system is standard.
• One-piece shaft and motor mount allow for easy maintenance and spur gear changes.
• Lightweight front spool with hardened steel outdrives with blades and bearings.
• The X25 Carbon kit has a 2.25mm symmetrical chassis: www.serpent.com/400049
• The X25 Steel kit has a machined 1.2mm symmetrical chassis: www.serpent.com/400050
• The X25 has an optional aluminium chassis as well: www.serpent.com/402145
• Even-length Kevlar reinforced drive belt and super true running pulleys; midshaft pulley made from hard anodized aluminium for maximum durability.
• Adjustable arm stiffness.
• BBDJC driveshaft as standard.
• Shock tower less design.
• Integrated servo/RX mount.
