Serpent 835 with a small block 15??
I was looking on the Serpent site for any new news on the 835. I have one and refuse to get rid of it. I also saw that Serpent was selling a power pack that contained the ZX .15 small block for the kit. My 835 uses a Big block .15 . Has Serpent made an error or did they remake the chassis for the installation of a small block?

Thanks for the info.
I called up my parts guys and am ordering the mounts! I just can't believe that the population just does prefer this car vs the 200mm. It is way more stable at high speeds and I think faster! The only problems that I see are the butt ugly bodies. The new small block mounts will bring this car back!! At least mine!

PS. I still have all of my 235mm stuff too and plenty of tires. If anybody ever organizes a big event with enough people, I'd be interested. As you can tell... 2wd preferred because I love a challenge.

+1 on bringing back 2WD 10scale.

My favorite 235mm body is the Volvo sedan. I have others including the BMW. The bodies are so hard to find though. Right now I am waiting for my small block motor mounts! I would love to see a track full of these again.

Take a look at the new porsche body....

Start running them again! Plenty of 235mm laying around somewhere gathering dust.
It is fun fun fun.
We still have about 15 races, but a few years ago, the class almost died
Now we are alive and kicking again.
You need some competition to reanimate the class.
Talk with some clubmembers to get a Porschecup started.
I am pretty sure Serpent will back up any good event.
