Serpent 747 1/10 200mm touring @Nurnberg Toy Fair 2012
Starting the first day of the toy fair at the Serpent stand, we were shown around the huge number of new products in their booth. First up is the new 747 1/10th scale 200mm chase which features new geometry front and rear as well as a front flex system that through the use of two tie rods connecting the front blocks to the radio plate can help adjust the chassis flex.
An all new chassis the 747 sports new uprights and shock rod extensions on the lower rear wishbones for additional mounting options. A new centax clutch true motion sports a tapered flywheel as seen in some of its competitors cars and a the gear diffs have been updated with smoother running gears and smaller shafts for lighter weight. We are told that the car will come in at close to the proposed new weight limit by EFRA.

It looks like Serpent let pick Julius Kolff (airline pilot / Serpent team driver) choose the names for their cars now.
The next 8th scale will probably be called A380...

Looks über cool.
Anyone else see the new HPI 200mm there as well? Also kind of interesting.
