I will say that the quality of this car is decent.I thought it would be higher considering its a Serpent.I am so use to Xray and the bar they set.But I must admit I like the shock design.As if it matters but I give it an 8 out of 10 for quality.Instructions are good.Hope it runs as well as an Cyclone.We'll see Friday.

Hey everyone I am going to run the Serpent this weekend and was wondering what are the week points in the car. One last question I am building the car tonight are there any things I should know before I build it like tricks or anything like that.

yes NP has a serpent, went extremely well as he was building it at cotswold with a hangover.......very well indeed.

the only mod i see him do was dremel the front rear hinge pin mount as it interferred with the steering.

perhaps the tamiya bridge block would fit...as it looks very 415 mre
