SMcD..your original post (which I can see) would have helped answer my question..you didn't need to edit it.

I'm not bagging on his post, just trying to fully understand it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the Serpent MM buggy is a better buy over the Team Edition B5m.

Plus you don't have to wait for the Factory Team B5m to come because the Serpent already has everything already.

I was looking so hard at the B5 I didn't take the time to compare them side by side. The Serpent is a clear winner in my eyes but both buggies do look great. I just think the serpent comes with a little better options.

But one thing I have heard the QC on the Serpent was not as good as expected. So will just have to wait on the B5 and the MM Serpent.

If the B5 build goes good and the Serpent QC doesn't get any better ill be keeping the B5.


Just my .2

both the serpent and the b5m are not out yet. So no one can really say. Also, the serpent is NOT decked out. No more so than the b5m. But time will tell which car is better.

On the shock build going to go with the machined piston instead of the plastic ones. Also Jc fin turnbuckles. Looks like this car is going to handle like a centro b4.2 mix. Just hope it gets the best of both worlds.

Yes sir....time will tell

I do like the spring steel and the nice plastic on the Serpent.
Can't wait to build a B5 and see it up close.
Maybe the steel and the plastic is the same will see what's up pretty soon.

"same" plastic? No. Will it be "good" plastic? Hopefully. Spring steel......I honestly cant say its good or bad for the car. I know it works good on springs

Just so you know, the machined ones are made of plastic as well. Just sayin'.

Machined Delrin, very much different than molded off of a "tree"

The factory Team kit will likely have most all the hop ups, but will likely not be out any time soon.

What kind of hop ups do you guys think will be on the the FT kit over the team kit.


Also what are some of the upgrades you are planning to do on the team kit when it arrives?

Turn buckles, avid pistons, TI screws ect...
