Come on....Really??

Do not start a "which car is better thread" Then turn around and make a blanket statement about another vehicle, and it's quality.

Xray and Mugen make the highest quality of parts Serpent plastics are hard so you can mess up your screws. You really need a good driver for the S811E

I own a BE and the fit and finish are xceptional. On par with Xray in the quality department and yes you will need a power driver to build unless you have Popeye's forarm strength!!!!!

Personally haven't driven the DEX but have gotten a very good hands on look at it trackside. I didn't car for the Jammin SCT'esq high mount for the ESC. As for the quality, it's a Durango so you know it will be good and capable when well setup.

Overall my vote is for the eSnake....it's just cooler

Has anyone had a problem with roar racing with the serpent straps compared to the durangos velcro does it matter for most racing ?
