The XII cars are 12th scale and the XIO cars are 10th scale. There's a link and T-bar version in each.The post I replied to was related to the XII car.

After having bought at least 6 Serpent cars, the last 2 have been disappointing in build quality, pieces really don't fit unless you alter all sorts of stuff.
And that is unacceptable to me.
Not to mention some pieces being twice in the kit and other pieces aren't, etc etc. Got fed up with it and bought something else, a Corally.
We'll see how that goes, build quality is better up until now.

I ran the Serpent front end on my BMI for awhile. Overall the quality was very good...the machining and molding looked good with no abnormalities. Where I did have a problem was in slop...the upper arm has quite a bit of slop on the hinge pin. Also 1 of the 8/32nds adapters was not threaded all the way through. All in all though not near as much fiddling was needed to get the front end up and running as I have needed on other front ends.
