There is a un-used hole on the right rear bulkhead of the 966 which is going to be used on the 1:10th scale car.

Now, start flaming me again or wait until the car is out.

Hong Kong; we have a local chinese rc web site that carries some other testing photos. unfortunately there weren't any actual top view of the car, but the under chassis could be seen.

I so un-decided what to buy as most of my club mates either run a MTX-4R or V-ONE RRR EVO2

I can get good support on parts on the other makes, but seeing that serpent is always changing there design its sounds like the seem to follow the Team Magic models, always updates ever 6 months or so.

I think All models are awesome - just undecided on what to go for!

Kodak, yes there is a new model coming, we have told are customers in US about this since beginning of the year. You should get the car that you really like.

Serpent is not always changing design ad you are mentioning. The 720 is already 3 years old. Every year we presented a new version, which was the same car with more appeal and added values for the customers, which means, some optionals and improvement included in the kit with the same original platform. So basically the customer that purchased the first 720 in 2006, was able, changing a few parts, to bring the car up to 2009 spec.

Hope this can explain a little this topic.

Back to the new car, is going to be really good. I can't wait. We are already showing the pace with the S-966 around the world. Expect great things from this sedan!
