Viper 977 1/8 scale onroad


Serpent will release a complete new 1/8 scale onroad car in february 2013.

Designer Michael Salven went all out on this exciting new masterpiece, with input from many Serpent racers !  

A very worthy next step after the very successfull Serpent 960 and 966 series.   Around 80% of the car is new. We keep the Centax TrueMotion clutch, 2-speed gearbox, wheelaxle-sets, driveshafts and bumper. All other is newly designed, fast and supereasy to work on.


Michael just came back from the final test in Valencia, Spain, with a big smile on his face. All is tested and approved, so its a full go ahead !

The Viper 977 goes in production now, as further testing is being carried out, also to test new optionals and find best default set-ups in Spain, Italy, USA and UK for now.

More details and images will follow in the next weeks.  Stay tuned.

Happy holidays !

Team Serpent
