The problem with Mugen not having enough gearing has been fixed and they should run fine but I still believe nobody can touch Ralph Burch no matter what car he drives he could throw a HPI on the track and still kick eveyones butt

New Snake 705
Hmm...the new snake looks identical to the PRO. They loaded tons of 'Heavyweight' Hop-ups to the car to keep competitive with V-1-RR. E.g. the removable battery pack tray on the chassis, battery pack position (idea copied from K-Factory..??!?!)
Other than that, this 705 is not considered a total revolutionary version as Serpent cannot afford to repeat the mistake done to the Veteq...

I think the 705 is even worst then impulse/impulse pro as the low CG battery pack position weaken the main chassis a lot.

The last legal engine RB brought out was the X12, nearly a couple of years old now, so I don't think you will see any in the A's.

I was under the impression that the placing of the reciever pack so low it necessitated a hole in the chassis was an innovation pioneered by Serpent in their 1/8 cars...
The RB is still very competitive over here, last year's national champion used one, and I believe most of the top runners (including the championship leader) are using them this year.

RB Concept and JP was the engines to have a few years back. Now it's Pixie's, Serio's, RTU's, and until recently, the Calamari oops!.....I mean Collari .

When did the RB's & JP's become obsolete? Has anyone checked the "engine" column for the A main at any 1/10 national event this year? You'd be hard pressed to find anything not based on a Nova Rossi engine (RB, JP, Nova Mega, Mugen). These new engines look good, and they may be the next best thing, but they have yet to prove themselves. I'll take a rock solid reputation over good advertising anyday. I would expect all, or at least the majority, of the A main drivers to have a Nova Rossi under the hood.
