Serpent SPYDER 2wd race buggy
1/10 scale, electric powered, MidHybrid  version


Serpent introduces the Spyder SRX2 1/0 buggy in MH version . Serpent designer Billy Easton, former 1/10 scale 2wd World Champion, and the designer of the successful Cobra 1/8 series and Spyder 1/10 series of cars, has created this next masterpiece

Battery space mount and weight balance
The battery is mounted perfectly in the center line of the car. In case of using a Shorty-pack, it  can be moved to front or back to play with weight balance. Pieces of hard foam are supplied to do so and secure the battery in position. The carbon fibre battery-top-brace has a secure quick release system with handy twist nuts and acts as a chassis stiffener too.  The flex can be influences by using 2 small grubscrews.   When using the upright  

Differential
The limited slip ball differential is a super compact, effective and durable unit. Utilizing 1.8th inch diff balls for ultimate durability. The structure and assembly is common type in this class, but the high quality parts and well functioning will make it stand out.  

Slipper clutch
The durable slipperclutch uses a 3-pad system with long lasting pads, hard anodised aluminium parts and springsteel shaft.   The pre-load nut can be easily reached and set.


Motor plate and motor guard
The motor plate is a machined aluminium; it is then anodized and machined for weight reduction.  

Anti-roll bars
Anti-roll bars can be fitted on the front and rear of the car, are optional. They can be used on high grip surfaces to further adjust the cars performance

Rear Transmission case
The composite rear transmission case is light and durable.  It  securely holds the motor plate, differential as well as supports the rear wing mount and rear shock tower.

Rear driveshaft system, wheel-axles
The spring steel drive shafts are thin and light, yet durable.  The spring steel wheel-axles are 5mm, light and durable, guided by the 2 different size of bearings, inner 10x14x4 mm and outer 5x13x4 mm. The driveshaft pin is fully captured to prevent any failure. These bearings are for sure to stand up the rigors of any track condition.

Rear suspension brackets and toe in
The 3mm spring steel pivot pins are held in place by the suspension bracket made from aluminum.  Inside the bracket you use inserts to set toe-in and roll center. You can adjust the toe-in from 2 to 4 degrees and adjust the anti squat from 0 to 4 degrees.

Rear suspension arms
The long and durable rear suspension arms are very tough units to withstand the rigors of the track and the hard landings.  The rear arm offers 2 options for shock position and two mounting locations for the rear anti-roll bar if needed.  

Body shell and rear wing
The light and low cab-forward style body, made in top quality clear polycarbonate,  has a nice flowing line, steep front windscreen  for down force with indents in the section in front of the windscreen. The shark fin on the roof of the cabin offers not only style but stability.  The smooth body lines enhance the cars appearance and do so in style
The polycarbonate rear wing utilizes raised cutes in the sides to improve wheel clearance.

Rear wing holder
The composite rear wing holder is connected to the rear bulkhead and shock tower. It is fully adjustable from 0,2,4,6 and 8 degrees. Its fixed into place by a washers and screws.

Ballbearings
High speed sealed stainless steel ballbearings with grease.

Fastners
Hard steel , mostly allen screws, roundhead and countersunk.  

Wheels
Durable white nylon flat faced wheels, specifically designed to utilize the advancements in the front and rear suspension geometry.

The kit comes complete with body and wheels, full color manual and exploded views, a blank and standard set-up sheet and Serpent decals.
