I checked the Facebook to see if this truck was mentioned. Could not find a single thing.

Wonder what the quality of the MT is and would you need any option parts?

It's the exact same as their RTR truggy chassis, other than the front and rear end. The steering knuckles are different and the rear uprights are different. Built like tanks. If I was in the market for a RTR 1/8 4WD MT basher, that's the one I'd buy. Obviously, there's not reviews out on it yet, but I have a few friends with RTR versions of Serpent stuff and they can't kill em.

Serpent is very close to Mugen in terms of durability. The Impulse was a tank - the 811 Sport was a tank.

Not suprised. Can’t find it even mentioned on their Facebook page either.

I just called them (Serpent America) and no answer. They are located in Miami, Florida

Update: I just spoke with them. They got them in 2 weeks ago and no test runs or reviews as of yet

Not surprising. The guys that represent Serpent race. Basically all they care about is the race kits. If it’s not a race kit, it didn’t happen. I get it, but if Serpent really wants to expand into the basher market, they need someone to create some hype about their truck. That’s why no one knows it exists. I know Serpent makes high quality models, but if they don’t advertise, nobody cares. Then it will just fade into irrelevance.

Well said - exactly... Bunch of guys more interested in adjusting fractions of millimeters of droop etc than just having fun launching crazy triple backflips or whatever..

Absolutely. I love touring cars but some just get so obsessed with mm adjustment that drive me crazy. They have been arguing tooth count or size of pulley for FDR in the 4x thread for 3 days

I've been looking forward to this for a few years now...anyone purchased one? I cannot find a single review/thoughts about this rig online, anywhere.

Good to see you back.

Think we would all like to see some kind of info about it. But even on Serpent’s Facebook there’s no mention of it.

I think its fallen by the wayside... probably not going to be released. Id be more optimistic about a 1/10 style MT akin to the MT410, Proline MT 4x4, etc.
