I love mine! It's 'tricky' to setup because the platform is new and there are fewer setup sheets for one to copy.

Once you get a hang of it though, the car is great.

What worries is a little now is that Team Serpent don't seem to be having much luck with the car on the intl competition level. They just did poorly in Thailand. I worry it will suffer the same fate as the SRX4 (original innovative design) and give way to the 'standard' design like the SDX4.

Everything about the car is intriguing. From the ride height adjustment screws (only two!), the simple shock removal, spur gear changes, etc. The symmetrical aspect of the car, the starter kit, it goes on. And it's a Serpent.

I wouldn't read too much into that...it was pretty much Xray, Infinity and Yokomo. Plenty of other competitive chassis that just didn't seem to float to the top this time. You could also say Awesomatix, Tamiya, HB, AE, did poorly.

Didn't Viktor Wilck just take 3rd in the worlds with little time on the car?

Nah. I think Wilck just had an off meeting as the tires were a big problem in the modified class (Sweep tires). Rheinard and all the others had issues with tires. Heck Coelho said he only had 1 good set out of 3! Yokomo seemed well out of sorts too considering Volker usually goes much better.

If you look at the 13.5 open brushless (running Ride tire) class Felix Law went very well and was in the top 10 all week. The other guys running 4x in that class also went well.

TITC is always a weird meeting. I've raced it for the last 3 years (I missed this year due to work commitments) and I've gone from top 20 in practice down to mid field and below when qualifying began and went onto the controlled tires. Last years Muchmore volante control tire was probably the best we've had consistency wise last year.

Don't forget that Wilck came 3rd at the IFMAR ISTC worlds last year with very little time on the car.

+1 its BRILLIANT

I can tell anyone interested in this car...go for it!

It is far and away, the most enjoyable, stable, easy to work on chassis I've owned.

Just take your time building it - you will be rewarded.

Just busting Infinity balls a bit, anyone else find it funny how big there team has gotten and they have not released their car yet

I was hoping Viktor would've won, but when things went wrong, it was cool seeing Jilles look so strong again.

Always liked Groskamp...wish him well.

The Infinity car should be interesting when it comes out. The guy that owns Creation Model/Infinity-Kenji Taira, has some very, very deep pockets.

I agree, I would like to see what they do, but in looking at the RedRC coverage in all scales that they cover, all Infinity teams appear to be Huge. Top talent too.

Money talks....

Serpent is a small team in comparison to others so with changing grip, bad tires and so on itīs hard to nail the setup. This weekend itīs ETS in Germany, letīs see how it goes.

I noticed this car's Spur is 64p. I have a TON of 48p gears. What tooth would someone run for an old (brand new) Thunder Power 13.5T?

I would think a 72 or a 75 should be good, just a guess on my part but should be close.

I run 48p....
