With all the rumors and nothing being said by anyone from Serpent “up and running in a FEW weeks” might be the end of Serpent here in the USA. They have increasingly lost product share here over the past few years and there isn’t anyone here buying a Serpent now not knowing what is going to happen. So their piece of the pie just gets smaller. The old saying “No news is good news” could be detrimental in this case. It is unfortunate. The 960-08 is the best product they have ever made. But with all the choices of Kyosho, Montonica, Mugan, Shepard, (maybe a new one soon) and Serpent, the market of 1/8th On-Road is pretty croweded.
