The serpent needs to use the standard length buggy motors like the Tekin 4030 71 mm long 1900kv motor, truggy motors are longer at approx 78mm and will not fit.
The most popular choice seems to be the Tekin 1900kv, I also use this and it has more than enough power.
The Serpent also needs to use the normal 2S stick type Lipo's commonly used in 1/10th, so are easy to get with plenty of choices. You also should really use hard case cells and not the easily damaged soft ones.
I use Intellect cells, which I brought from Demon Power Products at £60 each. You can get cheaper and lot more expensive, at the end of the day you pay your money and make your choice. From what I have heard Gens Ace from Giant Cod are also good, I would tend to stick to UK companies for peace of mind although some people do import stuff without problems.
