Serpent | Medius X25 1/10 Elerctric Touring Car

Serpent has launched its latest 1/10 electric touring car, the Medius x25, as the successor to the X20’24, and will offer both carbon fiber and steel versions of the kit.

German driver Dominic Greiner played a significant role in the improvements of the new car. Serpent claims they have enhanced the flexibility characteristics, optimized the geometry, improved the suspension geometry, lowered the center of gravity, and increased reliability.

Serpent has changed their flexible philosophy and developed a new symmetrically shaped chassis, significantly improving the car's handling.

The 1.2mm steel chassis features a PVD coating, which significantly reduces wear due to its exceptional hardness. An optional aluminium chassis is also available.

The driveshafts now feature 2 type of joint-crosses to deliver super smooth transmission.

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.

Their 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.

The Lower Arm design from the X20’24 with various carbon inserts has been retained, but the shock pickup position has been adjusted for improved shock geometry.

Another improvement on the X25 are the linkages with the new construction more precise and allowing for easier adjustment of the tweak. The car also gets new 13mm big bore linear shock absorber.
