still waiting for their 12th car that was due out for before the end of 07

Alfonzo 05-02-2008 07:06 PM

Looks the nuts. I've got a feeling this is going to be a belter. I want one.

MikePimlott 05-02-2008 07:12 PM

Looks a tad like an aero to me, or is that the other way round. LOL :lol:

Chris Doughty 05-02-2008 07:27 PM

it looks a bit 12th scale, the wheels/tires look pretty big.

hard to tell from just a render, but I think it will retain a lot of its durango'ness which is not a bad thing.

body looks nice, looks similar to something I raced last year :thumbsup:

werner1619 05-02-2008 07:39 PM

proof will have to be in the puding, lots of good buggies on the market...

can't wait to see it in action

GRIFF55 05-02-2008 07:59 PM

Serpents build quality always looks nice, but as i have never had one i don't know how durable they are?
To me it looks very much like a tamiya avante:lol:, still like the look alot!:thumbsup:

i think thats on show as well.

Chris Doughty 05-02-2008 09:14 PM

their 24th scale pan car looks dialled (well the render of the body does anyway)

Lee 05-02-2008 09:31 PM

I love the way the rear end just hovers!!

Is that due to the reduction of the unsuspended mass??:thumbsup:

mark christopher 05-02-2008 09:43 PM

remember thats a cad drawing!!

24th scale was at the nec being used :thumbsup:

is that a damper with no spring??
:)

mark christopher 05-02-2008 10:07 PM

the damper is the round bit under the spring infront of the motor

like the old associated 12th cars

xx4-nutter 08-02-2008 12:33 AM

is it a rebadged durango ?

Nick Goodall 08-02-2008 11:01 AM

Have to say that looks really well made!

SHY 09-02-2008 03:45 PM

Looks really nice! I'd prefer it narrow in the front like the original Durango though. Maybe they could make two versions of the chassis and the shell. The wide one if great for those with large electronics of course.

stegger 10-02-2008 11:36 AM

Who is the distributor for serpent in the UK. And who are main supply shops???:)

franki 10-02-2008 03:06 PM

Is it Elite????

Lee 10-02-2008 08:06 PM

I thought it was Demon?


I may be wrong:eh?:

stegger 10-02-2008 09:06 PM

super__dan 10-02-2008 09:06 PM

Please visit the NEW OFFICIAL SERPENT UK DISTRIBUTION SITE for latest news and information:

www.serpent-uk.com


l-u-k-e 10-02-2008 09:09 PM

The UK distributer is SerpentUK. You can get serpent spares from a few places the one i know and use is rc-direct and demon have stuff but as you probably can guess you cant get spares for s500 yet.:lol: At the moment I don't race 1/10 electric off road but as soon as the s500 comes out i will hopefully get one.

l-u-k-e 10-02-2008 09:12 PM

sorry didnt mean to say everything again. LOL

SHY 11-02-2008 01:15 PM

I sure hope it will be available in HK-based webshops, with a good selection of spares. If so happens I think it's gonna be a huge success!!! :thumbsup:

I sure hope Aero won't suffer too much because of this, but I sure think it's gonna be a hard birth... I pre-ordered quite early, but I must admit too much time has gone by now. You kinda loose interest after all this time. The S500 looks very tempting!

Of course, had Atomic Carbon made a superslim 3+3 carbon bath tub version AND a shell that looks nice, that would have been irresistable :wub

jimmy 11-02-2008 01:31 PM

flash websites should be choked to death.

SHY 11-02-2008 02:56 PM

LOL! I quickly backed out from that site myself :lol: Whoa!

What is wrong with the shell?

SHY 11-02-2008 03:42 PM

There's nothing wrong with it, I'm sure it's 100% "functional". I just don't like the looks of it. Which is 100% MY personal opinion of course :D I'm sure lots of others find it awesome!

stegger 31-03-2008 09:31 PM

Anybody heard anything else, it's gone abit quiet:eh?:

YZ~10 01-04-2008 12:01 AM

isn't it due out in May?
