Looks good, I wonder how it would go as a 2wd

Not sure what to think about it yet, may have to take a closer look...
:eh?::thumbsup::confused::o

www.serpentuk.com

Also more pics :)

Have reserved one, thanks for the heads up. Wonder how long before the 2wd version is out?

SRX-4
 

Have reserved one, roll on March. Something totally different to race. Looks really nice. Need to sort decent low profile before then.

Can anyone advice a decent LP? I do have a Savox, but not sure if it has torque etc.

This thread has died off a little any more info??

You obviously don't keep an eye on the social media Brian :)
Until the car is in our hands, we don't have much to shout about mate - see you at Kiddy :)

Have you got one to run at kiddy maaa? Interested to see how they go on uk tracks

Serpent
 

Does any one no what the hold up is on the 4WD ?

I'm thinking of going serpent .

Yer I was thinking the same, like the look of it but from above posts looked to be March release, now may no sign and no news on serpent site.

Short answer is.....car was designed then jorn/hupo joined the team, they felt some changes were needed to be made to make the car more European friendly.

So a short delay but end result will be worth it 👍🏼

I read on FB that there wer a few changes after there was a lot of testing or different surfaces.

Billy and the team really want to get it great out of the box so Im sure the wait will be worth it.

Dear all,, I have seen some posts on here about the release and so on of the car.. As you know its been pushed back slightly, but honestly for good reason. We have had more cars on the track in a variety of conditions and want to make sure we provide you the best car we can. In order to do this, it has required a small amount of extra time to refine what we have in order to make sure you as a customer are fully satisfied.. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but you have my word, you will benefit from the extra efforts on our side..smile emoticon Sincerely , BE

Im hoping the buggy gets released this month if possible :thumbsup:

Tony any thoughts? :D

It will be end of the month or early next for sure.
We have bodies now for people to buy and get sprayed up and ready!
Frustrating but like I've said many times, it better to have a good car rather than loads of updates and so on

any news?
 

Hello all,

Is there any news on the release of this buggy?

Regards,

Hans

what wheel fitment will this car be using?also,is anybody making an alternative shell?not a great lover of cab forward style,but if that's the only choice,i'll take it.can't wait to throw it around York track soon.

Hi all
Release date is still June as we speak.
12mm hex drive like all other car. You will find that all manufacturers are working in making this a standard scenario.
You are the first that has said they are not sure of the shell.
i doubt anyone will do anything as yet.
The shell is gorgeous!!
LOL

thanks for your reply.i suppose painted it should look just fine.i will take your word for it.is there any chance of listing any part numbers so we can get some spares ordered?also I would appreciate a full list of bearing sizes and quantity of each?
I would likemy bearings to arrive from states ready for build time.many thanks,jez.

are we still expecting a june release tony?

Unfortunately you can add another 2 weeks on that.
I have now asked for a FIRM date so I don't have to answer that question 5 times a day - LOL

thanks for reply.

ive been told from good sorce that we may not see the car until just before the worlds as they r having trob with the rear diff SH$#$#ing itself!!!! under load something is moving .....I think it could be the diff height inserts flexing or the other inserts as the plastics may hav to be hardend for the extra loads put on the diff from Carpet racing!!!!:thumbsup:
just got the 2wdmm and wow what a car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

As you may know, I have a car that I have been running.
No troubles at all.
Nothing moving. No flexing as you are calling it. No troubles at all.
Sorry to disappoint but your source is not very good.

All the best for now

Tony we love you but I don't think you drive like Jörn, no one does.

At the EOS there were complaints about the diff not holding up on the carpet, but thats HIGH grip.

I really don't mind that there are problems, better now before the release and get it fixed unlike the XB4 with their several fopars they have had to deal with after the release.
LOL not owning and deniying their mistakes.

Id rather say there are problems but they are on it than just pushing the date without info, but Im used to dates being pushed so Ill be happy when it gets here.

Hi yah Si

Well remember that Jorn is also an Orion driver and we use the very same motors, speedos and so on.
The power running through the transmissions are the same.
You could argue he is faster because he is smoother and can get in the power earlier and and and (oh! and younger - lol)
BUT
it can be argued I am not as fast because I may be erratic, on and off the throttle and so on (I'm super smooth really!!)
THEN SURELY
I should be the one that should have problems.

Only kidding but just showing that it could be anything.
Like I said many time before on social media, Jorn has done a lot of running. All it takes is a worn bearing that you don't realise, or a loose screw giving flex in areas that are not needed and with the hard landings like at EOS meetings, you develop a problem that really doesn't affect normal racing conditions or normal wear and tear on buggies.

Like I've said, I've had no issues

thanks for letting us know.....
but when u get no word from the factory on whats going on ...as a lot of us hav put up money on a preorder....just like to know the new release date ...if there is no flexing going on then Y is the rear diff letting go????
also got one of the pre release bodys for the car only to be told that a new one is now being made ......how about letting people know whats going on with the car!!!!!:thumbsup:

Huh i just bought a body and let it send to my painter... Would it mean the current body can only be used if there is NO fan on the esc and the motor?? I thought it would at least acommodate an esc fan as i never run my cars without it.

Maybe it'd be useful if Tony could confirm this, but going by Jorn's layout it is possible:

Of course who knows whether that is an unmodified bodyshell...

When I asked the question on the facebook page the answer I had from Tony is that the shell he is selling is the updated shell

If this is not the case then I won't be very happy as my £20awsome shell and £32 paint job is not going to fit then it's refund time
I'm sure this is not the case and it will be cleared up by Tony very soon

For those of you who has not had the opportunity to see this car in the flesh you will have a very big smile on your face once you have seen it! It's awesome
