Serpent S977 option parts

New from Serpent come several option parts for the S977 Viper 1/8th on-road car. Starting with a 38g bottom brass weight, the part is designed to fit into the pre-shaped chassis slots in order to alter the weight distribution of the car. One or more weights can be added and the weight itself comes black anodized and with its mass etched into the surface. Also new is a radio plate aluminium bracket that makes for a more rigid centre of the chassis. The CNC-machined part comes grey anodized to match the remainder of the chassis. Also new are eccentric short body posts that allow to relocate the body a couple of millimeters back and forth in order to adjust the overall aerodynamics and weight distribution.

Serpent introduce new carbon fibre option parts for their recently released S977 1/8th on-road car. Available now are front and rear inner rim covers, a transponder mount, steering block levers and shock extension brackets. Starting with the rim covers the parts are designed to attach directly to the front and rear hubs and improve aerodynamics in order to create more steering and better highspeed stability. The parts are a direct fit, come with all needed hardware and are sold as separate front and rear sets. The second new part is a Mylaps transponder mount that attaches in the steering servo area for easy maintenance while offering added security at the same time. The carbon steering block levers are a direct replacement for the kit’s alloy parts, look cool and offer a slightly lower weight to reduce unsprung masses. Last but not least come carbon front and rear shock extension brackets. They are a direct replacement for the standard alloy items, are of a lower weight and come as separate front and rear sets.

Serpent 811 Cobra EP buggy 2.0 buggy

Serpent have released the new 811 Cobra EP buggy 2.0, a new development realized following a full year of racing across the globe, listening to feedback from many drivers and dedicated testing on many different surfaces. The feedback from the drivers on the Cobra E-Buggy in general was very good but according to some drivers the car could benefit from a more responsive rear end, combined with a bit more steering, which would bring the Cobra to the highest performance level. The 2.0 features new wider rear end, differently positioned new rear shock towers along with other small changes to the rear of the car.
