We brought you the first exclusive pictures of the 733, Serpent’s all new 1/10th scale 200mm chassis, last month and now Serpent have released the full details of their new car. The car is a radical change from their previous car featuring new geometry and roll-centers, lower center of gravity and modified weight-positioning for improved grip and better balance.

Last weekend, we showed you the first photo of the all new Serpent 733, but while we were waiting for the track to dry during practice for the Bumod GP, the car’s designer Michael Salven walked us through the car and allowed us to take photos based on the promise we would release them at a later date. Well today is that day and following the release earlier this week of information and CAD images of the new car, you should be all aware of the functions and features of this great looking car. Some things that stand out are the front ball raced wire type anti-roll bar, the wide open rear end, tiny universal differentials, engine blocks with integrated chassis stiffeners, super low layout, awesome front bumper, radio box and entire radio plate assembly, not to mention the upgraded geometry which we were told makes the car very balanced. Note that some of the parts on this car are still prototype material.

Having taken the first photos of the car last weekend at the Bumod GP in Turkey, Serpent have released CAD images and details about their new 1/10th scale 200mm, given the name 733. To cope with the growing amounts of horsepower and to translate that to superb grip on the tarmac, the car is a completely new design, carrying very few parts across from the current 720 series. It performed well on its race debut, with some bad luck for Jilles Groskamp denying a certain TQ and taking him out of a leading position in the main final. Expected for release in July, there will be a limited run in time for drivers competing at the European Championships in Gubbio, Italy.

Red RC are at the rain affected Bumod GP in Bursa, Turkey and we were given an in depth look at the new Serpent 7xx 1/10th scale 200mm chassis. While we were able to take photos of the car, Serpent have asked us not to show them until a later time, allowing us only a photo of the bottom of the radio tray, just one of the very nice features of this well thought out car. Other new items at the event, that has attracted international racers from as far afield as Thailand and the USA, is a new Audi 200mm shell from German brand Orcan promising lots of steering and stability through the corners. Racing will begin as soon as the weather clears up, which looks to happen later this evening, given the racers a chance to run under the flood lights at the fabulous facility.
