Very interested on seeing how this stacks up to the rm? I'll be running on a medium/low medium grip track. Looks killer as always Serpent!

this looks like nice car. kind of limited itself by only allowing the batteries to be in one spot. It may only need that "one spot" but i'm noticing weight placement seems to be a very important with the mm buggies.

Beyond that, this looks awesome. I'm kind of a fan of the plastic chassis' myself.

I don't think it will limit itself at all. For all we know right now, you can build the battery box 2 different ways and it includes an additional battery strap that you can mount an esc on.

This looks a smart well thought out car. Like how the rear gear box is detachable like a rear motor 2wd. I for one can't wait to have one of these.

After talking with a good friend on how good the RM is, very interested in the MM. Wish they would release stuff for pre-order soon, I would like to use a coupon code online.

I think that's more of an Amain issue rather than serpent. However, you could get common upgrades/spares.

I think the Pre-order will be coming soon. Right now the release date is only speculation. Look at the SRX it got pushed back twice, once for a mold issue, and the second time for lack of bodies, not because the car was not ready.

Looks very nice. I guess I will have to change the title of the thread.....lol. I was taking a guess that SRX-2 was for rear motor and that SMX-2 would be mid motor

For both the RM and MM, the kit setup suggest 1* Toe out on the front. Did anyone actually set it up that way? I thought toe out was never good

I should wait the MM and buy it instead of RM. It looks so nice.
