Serpent Viper 977 Evo-2 1/8th scale nitro on-road kit
Serpent have introduced the latest incarnation of their popular Viper 977 1/8th nitro on-road kit, the Evo-2. The vehicle is an evolution rather than a revolution with the focus set on refined details such as the revised rear suspension to obtain more steering and overall traction. The rear lower pivot pins now sit closer together to create overall longer A-arms thanks to longer pivot balls and upper links. Also included are new big bore shock absorbers taken over from the 411 4.0 and 748-WE kits. The short shocks feature new machined pistons, a new seal package as well as machined spacers and coated aluminium parts along hardened steel piston rods. The rear shocks also feature longer shafts for improved traction. The key features of the 977 remain the same though as are the 2-speed Xli gearbox, fine-pitch gears, ball-raced front and rear anti-roll bars and the aluminium mid-flex system with bearings to name just a few. The 977 Evo-2 will hit the stores by mid-September.
