Serpent hit their peak with the vector. Of course they can still TQ world-class races, but what matters is how good their cars are for the average joe racer like me. Salven is a genius, not many of us are.

Ricktsu,
It looks as though you are a team driver for Serpent America? They must really plan on attacking the market if they are putting a team together before they are up in operation. Why is it a seceret who the owners and president will be?

the NT was terrible - and short lived, it was replace really really quickly... that front shock tower design was so ridiculously fragile. Anyone who's built and driven an MRX-2 or MRX-3 at the time would just laugh at the car's quality (I had both Serpent and Mugen at the time).

If Salven were a genius, he wouldn't have peaked with the vector...

Hello Guys:
Few weeks ago, the notice that serpent was re-organizing spread all over the world. Not only at the main headquarters, also here in US. There were a lot of rumors,some true and others don't, the bottom line, every move was done to keep the brand competitive, not only in pricing, but in quality and service too.
Earlier on this tread I posted some initial information about the new company Serpent America, at that time we were still organizing everything, it really surprise me how much work it takes to setup everything. We didn't made a public statement yet , due to fact that there were some kinks that needed to be iron.
For those worried for parts, as mentioned before, there are a lot of dealers that still have plenty of parts, some others that are low, will start receiving parts too. We are also receiving parts from Serpent and Xceed. Those interested to see some new products, Serpent and Xceed will have a booth at the Chicago Hobby Expo next week.
Dealers will receive soon our new contact information. For those that need any help Paolo, Doug and I will be glad to help. You can send any request to [email protected]
We should also have our web page working soon and the new phone numbers.
Thanks to those that believe and kept their confidence.

I do not know if I would say it was a lemon. That car when it was set up right was a bullet and anyone who saw the car run right knew that. But the problems were in the knowledge of the setup. I do not really care what car it is they all have little issues so in my own opinion there is not a perfect car out there. Just is not possible but man I saw the car and working right that car gave anyone a run for there money.
Just my 2 cents.
