Must say that its the first thing to make me think twice about buying the Serpent when it comes out

Hmm thats a lovely looking paint job! Wonder who did that for them?

I've got a mixed view of it really. Not seen one in the flesh, but it seems to have carried some bits over from the Mi3. I see they've kept the 'shim' set up from the TC. I think the wing will just get replaced when people buy the car.
Not sure on the shock mounts, they look a bit TC'ish too. But I suppose that they may be more resilient, the smaller they are?

The shell does look a little strange, but then if it goes well then who cares.

Looking forward to seeing the insides to see how its all laid out.

Did they photoshop away the reflections of the bottom of the chassis?

It's certainly up to Schumachers standards of non-conformity. There are certainties in life.

[Alfonzo]

Well it's interesting to hear everyone's different opinions on the look, and just to prove the old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I think it looks awesome!

[Fabs]

Bring back the Cat 2000 shell !!!!!

On a serious note, what is Phil Booth on ? I'd like to meet his dealer...

You mean through the windows?
If so, no. They wanted it painting with limmo windows to keep the peering eyes out!!

They have another though with clear windows. Not sure when they'll use it though.

Are you running it at the last Worksop round Si or are you playing with noisy cars at the Neo?

It's been used......

Is that the servo sticking out of the side of the car there? at the front, actually it looks like one of my core Lipo's ?
I guess now the piccies are out that I can say I saw a video of this car going round Eastrax and it looked awesome over the jumps.

[stegger]

It looks more like the servo as the corerc Lipo is more rounded unless you meen the 5000 Lipo were can we see this video rob???

[Robbiejuk]

My 5000 lipo is definatly square, Video won't be on the internet I was shown it And thats all I am going to say.

[rcracer]

The shell looks very "FG Marder" to me.... cant wait to see what it looks like on the inside.

[frogger]

I LOVE the look of that buggy. Might just have to buy one

[Chris Doughty]

Congrats to the design team for not being tempted to produce a clone.

I like new stuff.

I like some of the features on it, some I don't like. but as someone said before, if it is fast, people will start to like it more, I thinking Subaru Impreza, the bug eye one, looked ugly in the showroom, but when it was in its rally dress hooning around rally stages it look ace!

One of the Schumacher managers in the USA was slagging it off on rctech.net but it seems to have been removed now.

Any updates on whether It'll be at Stotfold?

But it's ok, because Jimmy quoted him - oh you bitch!

I merely 'called him out' on what he'd said since I thought he was slightly in the wrong.

[bigred5765]

if he works for them
but i guess its a forum and were all entitled to are opinions
