Me too. Looks good. Some of the items are in stock at Desoto already! P/N's are basically 600699 onwards. So search 600699, 600700, 600701 etc....
As I've seen the changes are:
SLi8 Gearbox from 977evo
Front and rear centre driveshafts changed to dogbones (no longer CVDs)
Front and Rear new shock towers
Front lower arm pin alu suspension mounts new
6 degree alu C hub as standard (standard plastic steering blocks)
New alu gearbox centre holders (standard fibreglass brake disks)
Front and Rear lower shock mount extensions (shocks mounted more outside)
There might be more but thats what I can see now. All the plastics, diffs, axles, driveshafts etc remain the same as the current version.

The King Cobra edition (that's just what I call it) with all the upgrades and options will be made "hopefully" but a date is not set yet.
But there's no reason to wait fellas upgrade your current Cobra platform and enjoy the benefits of the newparts now. They truly work and give you a wide range of setup options for your personal driving style.
Serpent quality and support is First Class!

I live less than 45 minutes away from Desoto racing and I'll be the first at their door once it's released.

I would like to personally congradulate and welcome Jesus Luna aka Tonylunatic a world class GT driver and guy to the Serpent Team. He raced at the GT worlds and most recent the Pan Am GT race at Homestead Miami. A very nice addition to the Serpent team and family.

The current 2sp jumps around between 1st and 2nd sometimes in sweeper style corners and it doesn't stay in 2nd when it should do which is the same issue we had with the 977 gearbox. The evo gearbox is so much better and will be on the GT. I think we will also see certain current required upgrades standard in the kit including the 0 degree caster blocks and centre diff brackets in Alu. I don't think you'll see pro brakes as standard though. Think what they did with the cobra buggy that ended up having the Alu 14 degree caster blocks as standard etc...
The new pitch gears and smaller 2 speed give better acceleration I heard. I haven't tried them so I don't know.

HI Dan, I think that the reason why the 2 speed can jump from 2 to 1 is because the set screws in the center are either not there, not set properly or simply backing out... There is nothing wrong with the SL8 gearbox, I mean not that I know of.

The new shock tower and mount are good, I can use softer spring for more grip.
