There are clearly weak areas in the car; most notably the front steering block, pivot balls, rear shock tower, and a-arm. Two trends are clear from reading this Forum:
1. The car has weak areas, and Serpent is working on continually improving the product.
2. Many observers have reported the same basic observation: The car has a wide sweet spot, and once you get the initial push dialed out, LAP TIMES ARE CONSISTENTLY ONE SECOND BETTER THAN OUR PREVIOUS BEST.
Thanks Serpent, for a great car, and and an attitude that "Improvement is job one".

i will be racing the serpent 710. but why somany of you race the same bodies whats with the stratus and alfa romeo bodies, becuase i would think that the honda nsx gt from hpi would work better becuase it's lower and looks more areo dynamic???but if i can't get this body i will get this one but i don't know the make. i love the serpent cars but the only thing i think they could have done better was to somehow make the rear and the front shock towers lower so i could put on lower bodies.picture below!

I do have to say its a dream to drive this car but man my r40 would have come out of that with only a scratch. I may get it back for practice.

Also one other thing I want to say is that the r40 developed a lot slop in a really little time and is really heavy compared with the 710.
So I think they both perform very similar but my r40 had a lot of extras and the 710 was out of the box

But hey, what happened to us agreeing to say that the car is crap?
