Serpent Spyder 2WD Short Course Truck kit

Serpent introduce their first ever Short Course Truck in the form of the Spyder 2WD SCT. Based off the popular Spyder SRX2 line of buggies, the truck shares many design ideas such as the unique front steering block design, the adjustable rear differential height and the 3-pad slipper clutch. Based on a long wheelbase composite chassis the truck is a purpose-designed rear motor vehicle, ideal for all low to medium traction tracks. Long travel 12mm big bore threaded aluminium shock absorbers and race geometry suspension arms make for maximum on-track performance while polycarbonate inserts in the wide nerf bars keep as much air as possibly away from the inside of the bodyshell to reduce the unwanted parachute effect SC trucks are known for during jumping. Other features include suspension block inserts for the C-hubs and rear A-arm holders and uprights, spring steel turnbuckles and wheel axles, a limited slip ball differential and an aerodynamic SCT body with side damps. The truck is set for a mid-June release.
