We arrived at the incredible Sunpadow facilities in Xiamen, China for open practice on Wednesday.
Sharing the track with all the other classes meant a little bit of waiting in between runs. Limited on practice I was happy with the direction of setup for the 989. Team mate Merlin Depta joined us on Thursday, working together we were comfortable with the car performance. The track having a different style of grip and varying in speed between the morning and night runs made it a challenge to follow.

- Serpent Medius X20 MID carbon 1/10 EP
X20 is the result of utilizing past years design of the Eryx and 4x 1/10 touring car.
The chassis is based on the popular Medius 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.
