They are not Serpent top decks - there is a rumour that they will be bringing one out.

Commander:

The top deck at the phto is from me (V-dezign) and it was made for prototype testing for some drivers including me and Bart Wubben. If lots of people are interested, they could maybe put in production.

The difference compared to std top deck is that this gives you more general traction and more on power steering.

My website (www.v-dezign.net) is not too up-to-date at the moment but will be updated with new stuff soon!

Please contact me if interested about the topdeck.

Cheers,
Vesa

maybe the 1 piece upper deck as seen for tamiya 416 proto will be more feasible... but anyway, i'm for 1 would like to get the upper deck as shown above too... as long as it's lipo firendly...

I think this should be the prototype for the coming soon chassis, i will pay attention on the new chassis. In the case i have revised a S400 in yesterday race, then concluded its materials are good quality.

If anyone is looking for a gear diff I have one with 2 race weekends on it.

Shoot me a PM

edit: figured I would ask in this thread because I know how difficult they can be to find.

If this reality is real, serpent should go behind among other makes.

Hey guys,

i thought i would post up some pics of my modifications to my S400 so far, it seemed everyone was playing with top decks so i've gone in the opposite direct i've busted the dremel out on my bottom chassis plate with promising results, on my first race meet after the change the car was on rails, it is so much more forgiving, on track you can notice the flex on the chassis...

next im going to have a play with the front of the car and i've got some of the tf racing top decks coming...

Pics are top view, bottom view, and next to dads s400 for comparison

if yous have any questions dont hesitate to ask me...

No kidding, that's a lot of carbon fiber taken off! If you say it works, awesome!

Yea, and i also kept the carbon fibre wet every 2 seconds or so i would dip it into a bucket of water and i changed the water 3 or more times....

where i've cut most out it where the rear alloy brackets are motor mount etc etc, what it's doing is not just softening the rear of the car but probably half of it with some top deck mods and a some more work on the chassis it could be a super flex weapon...

my first run after the cutting the car was transformed....
