Where can you buy parts for this car? I see it listed for sale but can't find any parts for it.

I thought for sure you were going to go with the x-factory x cubed.

Hard to stick with one of those when the preorders keep getting pushed back. I was going to get one, but will just to a RM and MM serpent

Further details, lots of pictures and a default setup sheet has been uploaded to Serpent.com. I expect the manual and parts list will be available soon.

Should be here end of the month, parts a week or two afterwards. Mid motor tentative? Late October.

I'm excited! Looks great. I especially dig the captured rod ends. Looks beefy too. Mine is alreay preordered. I'll get the parts to convert to mid motor once those come out too, going to do a lot of testing with a setups this year.

If the quality is anything like the cobras it should be a fantastic car.

I've always had great luck with Serpent and I must say the car looks killer. Price isn't bad either. I may have to pull the trigger on this one.

Car looks great! Interesting caster blocks etc. Definitely a unique machine! 3 disk slipper in the box!

Hmm, description now says 12mm shocks. Early descriptions said 13mm shocks. 12mm I think will be better overall. Easier to possibly use pistons and springs from other manufacturers for more tuning options. 13mm may have been overkill on a 2wd buggy.

Hopefully they send Billy that body they use in the promo pictures, it's getting old seeing him win with a plain white body.

Prototype White is proven to shave .5 second off each lap though. Why else do you think BE always gets the fastest lap?

Prototype yellow is .1 seconds faster than prototype white.

BUT it is less consistent.
