Serpent Mini Spider 1:24 RTR Short Course

Better known for their high end onroad competition cars, Serpent has released this ‘fun’ 1:24 Mini Spider SC RTR.  Made of super elastic plastic, the 2WD chassis is powered by a coreless motor that takes the Short Course truck up to 20km/h.  If this is too fast for you in the living room or children’s room, you can also reduce the speed thanks to a rotary control nub.  Throttle/brake and steering commands are sensitively implemented in full proportion by the 2.4GHz remote control.   The Mini Spider SC has built-in ‘Electronic Stability Program’ (ESP) which keeps the rear-drive vehicle always well on track even on smooth surfaces such as laminate or tiled floors. Thanks to a built-in ‘gyro’, the truck detects unnatural movements of the rear and steers automatically against it to prevent a breakaway (to a certain extent).
