It's been for sale here in the US the past 2 weeks. The dealer in Miami has several of them. I spoke with them personally

Looks like an awesome truck. I would imagine spare parts and availability would be a nightmare...

Serpent Model Racing Cars - Product - Cobra MT-e RTR 1/8

Hmmmm. Not a brand I've ever owned, but I've heard amazing things about the full on race stuff they make.

Besides the parts availability issue, I don't really see much else to turn me away...

Thanks Billy, life (kids) gets in the way.

So, what are your thoughts on the build quality of these rigs? What would you compare it to? Tekno? Or more like AE?

Have yet to break anything on either of my truggies in the past two years, racing and bashing. MT is based on the truggy. I wouldn't worry about a thing.

thats my other truck on the wish list.

Currently i have a completely modified emaxx/supermaxx that i beat on but replacement parts from alot of companies just arent worth looking for any more.

id have no problem spending some money on this serpent as it looks to be solid quality.
