Hi Guys, back to normal after 2 weeks of traveling. I will like to thank all of you for posting nice messages for myself, our drivers and team. Thanks you very much. We really appreciate the support.
We are very happy with the result of the WC. We did everything but winning the event, I know. It’s a pity, and I am sorry if you guys fell disappointed in some way. But still we are proud with the outcome. We Tq the event and Massimo was the fastest in any single run, we had 4 cars in the final and came second place, recovering a lap with the fastest car in the 1 hour main event. We had 7 cars in the semifinals and so on. Quite an accomplishment I must say. Many stories can be told about this year WC, many ifs........ what if Cristiani did not had the problem at the start, what if we where able to get the tires since day one instead of 4 days later, etc. etc. etc But you can't live with the ifs...
Congrats to the whole Team for the effort and performance. We have a good car now, which we will keep developing and improving to make it better everyday...
Soon to be released will be the parts to convert the car. Basically are only a few plastic parts (Lower and upper arms, uprights and control arm for body mount) and the wheel axles (front and rear). We are going to have also the upright for the STD Serpent offset, to give the opportunity to the customers that feel that the STD version is better or have huge inventory of tires to keep using that. Future looks good for 960. The platform has proven to be a WC contender and winner at every level.

960 '08
Hey guys, I'm assembling a list of hop-ups for the new 960 '08. Some f****r stole my 960 last week 
. It's curious they say crime is low here. I guess it's not low enough.
Anyway I've been running the 960 since it first came out so I don't know exactly what comes with the 07/08 kit in terms of hop-ups. I used Serpent's web site to get an idea but while the site is good it still has issues. For example, look at the list of spares for the 960 '07 then look at the info page for the kit itself. There's a difference (e.g. the chassis is shown in the info page but not on the list of spares, the ventilated battery tray is carbon on the info sheet but plastic on the spares list). Could someone at Serpent sit down for a day and sort out these issues. Web sites are a very important tool for businesses to communicate with their customers. If someone at Serpent wants to send me a 960 '08 with engine + options and I'll gladly maintain your site for 2008.
Does anyone know if following comes with the kit?
Pully Solid Axle 51T V2 #903229
Mono block M21 LCG/Pro #903201
Thanks in advance.
