1. Quality- how does it compare to the likes of Xray & Tamiya?
2. Durability- does it hold up well in a crash?
3. Performance- is the car up there with the 417, Tcx, Tc6 etc? Or too early to tell.
4. Support- parts availability, team drivers setups and so on is that department looking good?

Thank you, any feed back would be much appreciated..
cheers :-)
1. Yes, I think it is just as good as those you listed, and I used to own many different cars. I really like my Serpent.
2. I believe there are 3 of them running so far in my area, and I don't think any of us has broken any parts yet. I know I haven't.
3. I have limited time on my car but both races that I entered my car in I was only .2 tenths off of the fastest lap by my competition, and they have raced more than me this year and have had their cars longer as well. I feel very competitive against them. We have a "bigger" race in two weeks which I am building towards.
4. Parts are in good supply in the overseas market and should be arriving in the USA soon for us. The Hong Kong supply is strong. Marc Fisher was just added to the team so the Team setups will very much improve. Also Serpent UK is very strong too.

Hope this helps,

Steve
