durango is a american car so doubt its owed buy anyone other than them

well i thought all "inventions" belong to serpent because Strenge works / worked for serpent. I dont know if it is possible to seperate that easy. this are just my thoughts. i was only talking about the inventions/ patent stuff, not the names sorry.

the 1/8 status is hard to tell as long nobody uses it at the moment

that's my question :-P . I dont know any other reason why they should switch to the old name (which is used by dodge) without any serpent statement, without any serpent decals, without 1/8 prototype...
it SEEMS whatever they do it is without serpent

I cant believe what im hearing this is just bad i really liked the serpent kits

think you will find its more rumours and speculation, serpent have simply moved production, serpent is still in holland and working, they have just released the 12th car, the s500 will be after xmass

i don't wanna wait til after christmas!!!! :cry:


wait, maybe i do, since i can't afford it right now anyways

January sales ;)

read my post 91!! this was from the factory few month ago

if only, i dont think model shops halve the price of kits after christmas though :cry:

i wonder why you are that sure that Serpent is still working on the car.
The durango team on the 1/8 worlds is running without serpent stuff again ... sorry but i cannot believe that they suddenly decided racing without serpent stuff but keep working for them .... :woot:

I forgot about the Durango boys at the worlds - presume it is just Nueman running?

agreed, i think there has been some goings on over there.

Maybe they dont like Jorn??:confused:

yes just neumann. billy easton is running ocm (or something like that). durango was always more or less only neumann with strenge. Neumann is a great driver.you couldn t have a better one... we will see :thumbsup:

Are you sure??

Is he world and european champion? :lol:

former EC no WC, but Aigion is or was dominating 1/8 for years without winning any important race :rolleyes:
I only tried to say this two men team works perfect. Joern would never leave durango and he is awesome fast what more is a private engineer looking for.

someone is at the worlds with a serpent proto

http://www.neobuggy.net/modules/xcga...s=77&pid=10943

I would asume this is Jorn's because its got an Orion engine in it

that looks sooooooo far from production.....

It doesnt even have a fuel tank :lol:

If I remember right, that perticular configuration appeared at the Euros this year as a serpent, and most of the work for it to make it look like that and not like the durango proto used at the Neo and Proline race was done while they were working at/for serpent, surely they can't leave and take the design that was being worked on FOR serpent???

anyway, who actually know :confused: I certainly don't.

my source says serpent are still up, running and working on thier new products

there is still a serpent sticker on Jorn starter box

http://www.neobuggy.net/modules/xcga...s=20&pid=11148

And at the german nationals there was a big "Serpent motorsport" Sticker on Gerd`s Nissan Navara.

According to NeoBuggy Jorn is running an AE car at the worlds :confused:

Did say AE, now says Durango

thx for all infomation.
but joern is listed with durango on neobuggy!

the 1/8 car is named Durango DNX408 (that doesn t sound much like serpent) ... maybe its just a different name they want to use

Looks pretty much conformed "Gerd is to continue to develop the car" no mention of serpent here

Pete

no

Confusing post on Buggy Sport stating that they will continue to develop the car with no mention of serpent then it states "we may see the car run at the worlds" which has already been and gone!

What body is that Carl, it's not the same one as in the photos - so is it an older one?
'team durango' definitely doesn't sound like 'team serpent' to my ears.

Yeah - sounds like things are a changing - at least for the 1/8th project

Looks like a J concepts Thunder Tiger S3 shell

its in the same bunch of piccy's jimbob

http://www.buggy-sport.info/include....sub.php&cid=14

Ah ok, it's not the shell for that car though - that's in the background and different (less stickers) - unless he's got two? that would be outrageous!! haha

Well, if the Buggy-Sport.info notice says "Team Durango" and there are no signs of "Team Serpent" on the current car ... ;)

From what I saw at the Worlds, there was no mention of the Serpent name.

Yes the Durango looks to have gone forward a step although by the looks of it, more parts are from the Losi 8ight...

Billy was running the TQ Racing car - the Supercross 8!

Billy didn't see that happy with his rig if you watch his interview on rccaraction.com hehe

He had been raving about it for the club event before the worlds - its astually pretty sweet in some ways the SX8

right but some pics are made at the neo-buggy race i guess. so they are pretty old. it s a bit confusing ;)
i wonder what will happen to the s400

The S400 is out there being raced??? or do you mean what will they develop from there?

The S500 has been shelved as far as I know.

sorry. i was talking about the offroad car the S500. the last car driven by joern neumann was a durango (without the plastic serpent s500 parts) ... the old well known durango. so i am anxious to know what this car will finally look like
