Me too, I think I'm going Sport. I'll never get the full potential of the Team car. At least not by the time this car is obsolete.

Does anyone else have the Sport? It seems really rare.

FYI the sport is $351.99 and Amain has a $25 coupon code.

I have a Serpent, but I have not been to a track where a Tekno is yet....too busy with work... Are you guys saying that the Serpent is more durable than the Tekno? Just curious... and let's not get a war started... so be kind...

From what guys who have teknos tell me and what I see yes the serpent is stronger and more durable.

I havent been on the forums in a while, been catching up on old posts... but when I saw these photos, I just completely wet myself DAMNN meee sooo hoowwwneee!!

my serpent is filthy dirty from bashing at the track and after a year of racing and bashing, I havent replaced ANY parts at all... shock fluid only twice, LOL ... I love this car!!! It's freggin bombproof...

I've cartwheeled my car more times than the cheerleaders in Bring It On

All the other 1/8 scale companies can't do this because they're afraid they won't make any money on parts, but Serpent basically said...

"phuk it, lets make it indestructible. Lets make it last longer than spent plutonium reactor rods. Lets make it survive the next nuclear holocaust so survivors can worship it and pray to it"

He he.......well what can I say.....I'm glad you like it.......and I just love my Serpent

And yes it's bombproof.......all I've had to replace is a wing and a lost camber link screw due to missing locktite.

2.0 conversion will most likely be the next step
