The Serpent 977E is the sickest rc car I've ever driven !
Took it to my local 1/8 on road track today running a 2200kv HW motor on 6 cells
16 tooth pinion .
Wow! After racing nearly every class in rc since 87, this is definitely the fastest , most exciting chassis to drive hard around a track.
The acceleration is unrealistic and astonishing, top speed is insane I'm surprised
this class isn't more popular!
Anyway, question to you guys who have been running these cars for while
Are your lap times faster and do you prefer running 6 cells with a 2000 -2200 kv combo ?
or 4 cells with a 2650 kv ?
I guess it does depend whether you run on a large open track or a tight smaller track.
Also i noticed there have been a few Aussies on this thread , if you guys know of any clubs in AU that are going to be holding any major size meets in the near future that will include this class of car please let me know as my racing buddy and i would definitely travel up to NSW, Vic or WA to compete .

Cheers to Smithers64 for the deal of the century with this car frickin awesome!
