1/24 scale SERPENT!!!
That's right! A 1/24 scale elect. pan car from world renowned Serpent. A name synonimous with 1/8 scale nitro on-road racing, has branched out to several other markets. Now a high quality 1/24 is on the way...
It was debued at the Chicago Hobby show this weekend.

Is it 1/27th-1/24th? Or just 1/24th period? I would like to see a big name get into Mini-Z.

It's 1/24. reminds me of the DTM 1/24 pan cars from ABC hobby a few years ago. Looks to be very high quality. Mini-z won't be a match for it & should not be raced in the same class.

Well thats a bit disappointing. I know 1/24th is doing pretty well around that area of Europe, but it seems here and Asia, 1/27 (or 1/18th) is what people race.
All I can show is the failure of the Duratrax Pocket Rocket to take off.

Not only would I like to see pics of the Serpent 1/24 car,
But I would like to see any pics of anything rc from the show! I can't find any websites with info or pics concerning the show. What's up with that?!!!!
Is no one bothering with it this year or what?

Sorry about that! I didn't take a camera along.. I keep forgetting about the one in my phone..
As far as electronics go,,,,One of the cars they were running had a 2 cell LiPo saddle pack with a 180 motor (cheap closed end-bell variety). Hopefully, they will not 'dis' the micro scene by selling a RTR. It looks as though a 6 cell saddle pack of AAA or AA batteries will fit.
I will order some as soon as they are accepting pre-orders.

Back to my original question: Why is there no coverage or pics ANYWHERE on the web concerning the i-hobby show?!!!!!
Every year RC Car Action or someone posts pics and info about new releases on the web. I have been to all the sites I can find and there is NOTHING!!!!
Does anyone out here know anything about this?

Remember that Yokomo 1/24th prototype....

looks sweet... it might be time to shelve the mini-z...

maybe just for mod class. The awd is a little heavy and the mr-02 isn't as easy to drive.
The thing I like about the mini-zs are the ease of use, no buying seperate elecs
