Viktor Wilck joins Serpent
Top driver Viktor Wilck from Sweden, already joined Team Serpent in 2014 for the 1/10 and ⅛ gas onroad cars, as well as the ⅛ Cobra Buggy platform.
Now for 2015 and beyond we are proud to announce that Viktor will also strengthen our Team for 1/10 electric touring, which is Viktors favorite class of all. Viktor has tested the ERYX 3.0 and was on speed after running a few battery-packs only. Very promising indeed !
If time allows Viktor will also be runing some Spyder 1/10 buggy, buts its hard to follow all !
Marc Fischer, David Ehrbar as well as Michael Salven look forward developing and / or racing the touringcars with Viktor on the team now as well, and help to develop even better set-ups to share with all Serpent drivers.
Serpent and Swedish Serpent distributor HobbyProdukter make a joint effort to make this coop possible.
Viktor will assist the Swedish Serpent distributor with events and marketing.
