The Serpent 411-FF is Serpent 1st ever front wheel drive only car. Its based on the highly successful Serpent 411 TC 4wd car and shares many parts.

Serpent has tested the front wheel drive cars intensively, and achieved a perfectly balanced race-chassis, putting the front mounted motor as low in the front as possible. The front whele drive system gives a unique drive-feel, very different from 4wd, but supersmooth, easy and great fun. Its actually much easier and nicer to race, than people think at 1st. Once you tried, you are hooked !

The FWD class is very big in Asia, and is gaining popularity around the world. In some countries it almost absorbed the stock-class.

Main specs / features:
-   front wheel drive
-   machined aluminum front motorholder
-   front gear-diff ratio 52 to 20 = 2.6
