What is Project 4X?

In the simplest definition I myself can come up with is, Project 4X is the New generation of Touring. It’s the next step that might be the Next Sweetest Thing in the future for racing, and also it might make our current touring model not as sexy and hot as this one.

It wasn’t a surprise Serpent releasing literally dozens of new models every year, but these days the company’s releases Iconic Design Concept that are bit more out of the box so they say. They are Storming up the Market as the company is announcing not one, but afew new high-end models, Performances Cars. Project 4X is one of em.

Key features

-Completely New Suspension Design System
-Separation of the Roll and the Heave Dynamics, so these can be Set-up Separately for Cornering and for Bumps
-Very Low Centre of Gravity
-Front and Rear End Share Almost all Parts
-Inversed Steering System for Better Control Over Ackermann Angle
-Quick Access and Change of the Damper Units
-Fast and Easy One-Screw Ride Height Adjustment
-Fast and Easy Spool and Diff Removal
-New Spool with Blades and New Gear Differential
-RRS System Standard

- Seperate roll and heave motion in the car to make set-up easier and more precise
- Roll and heave dampers are small, they need only small amounts of oil
- Dampers include machined pistons for best possible consistency
- All dampers are through rod piston systems so no membrane needed
- Good selection of heave and roll springs
- Anti-roll bar function integrated in roll damper/springs
- Easy and fast to change / replace the whole damper units
- Front and rear end are almost identical, so less spare parts needed
- Pivotball suspension for simplicity and free movement
- The Pivotballs are a lot smaller in diameter than in previous touringcars
- Easy diff and spool removal
- Extremely low center of gravity
- Reversed steering system for better Ackermann geometry
- No top deck needed (topdeck is available as optional for tough racing situations)
- Center stiffener made of 7075 T6 aluminium for rigidness and anti-tweak, connecting the front and rear end
- One piece motorholder which also connects to the center stiffener and the rear RRS system
- Re-Active rear steering RRS system is standard
- Ballraced mid-shaft holders allow easy maintenance and changing of spurgears
- Pullrod activated system with rockers to activate the dampers
- Same heave damper front and rear which is mounted below the diff/spool just above the chassis for lowest possible center of gravity
- New differential using new gears for even smoother functioning
- Battery mounting system allows reposition the battery more front or rear
- In case of shorty Lipos are used, the Lipo can be possitioned in 3 configurations
- One screw ride-height adjustment from chassis side
- Lightweight front aluminium spool with hardened steel outdrives to use blades
- Carbon fibre chassis in 2mm as standard
- DJC system in the front made out of spring-steel prevent wheelchatter and rear regular cvd’s made out of 7075 T6 aluminium save           weight
- One short and one longer kevlar reinforced drivebelt and supertrue running pulleys, midshaft pulleys made out of hard anodized aluminium for maximum durability

One of the first question where is the shock tower and where's the shocks, So Serpent came up with the idea of using Seperate roll
and heave motion damper inside the car to make it unseen and quicker set-up and more precise tuning.

Roll and heave dampers are so small, they need only small amounts of oil so instead of using traditional Silicon Oil like 400 - 500cts
Felix Law said he recommend use thicker oil such as 1000cts or above which means Silicone Diff Fluid

The  front and rear damper which is mounted below the diff/spool just above the chassis for lowest possible center of gravity with
New differential using new gears for even smoother functioning and better lifespan.

Project 4X won alot of trophy during the pre-production period such as;

•  IFMAR Worlds 2016 :
   At the 2016 IFMAR ISTC World Championship in Beijing Viktor Wilck secured Serpent’s first A final result in this class,  and improve his own best result by finishing 3rd on the podium.  At the World Championship 20 drivers in total were using a pre-production version of the Project 4X car to work together as a team, and at the same time do the final test.
• ETS 2016:  
  First only in  use by the factory team drivers, the 4X has finished in the A-main final of many  international races including 4 times A Final at the famous ETS series
•  EC 2016:  
  a 5th place for Viktor Wilck at the European championship
• Swedisch nats 2016:  
  Swedish Nationals title for Vikor Wilck.
   

The Project 4x  starts at $639.99, definitely a one of the most awesome 4wd Touring.  with a Hobbywing XR10 pro and a Hobbywing Bandit brushless Motor, that’s probably be another thing your eye might not able to keep up with. Dare to Give It a Try!?
