The Impulse Pro

The car that defined the nitro touring car class, has just been optimised for serious racers. More adjusting posibilities, lower weight, more high tech carbon... Here's the specifications, all it needs now is the driver to take it to the winners circle!


Woven carbon fibre Radio Plate

Woven Carbon Radio plate

The first thing you will notice on the car is the beautifully manufactured woven carbon fibre radio plate. Materials, previously only used on its bigger brothers in the Serpent product line, have been borrowed to provide extra strength as well as ensuring optimal weight distribution. This material not only boosts performance but improves looks as well. As well as a new material the layout of the Radio plate has been changed to lower the centre of gravity and bring the weight of the car more to the centre especially when used in conjunction with the battery-set small (#801109). This will increase cornering speeds and speed up car response.


Woven Carbon fibre Shocktowers. Top - rear, Bottom - front

Woven Carbon Shocktowers

The front and rear of the car now feature woven carbon fibre shocktowers. Providing multiple shock mounting positions makes these pieces a valuable tuning feature that can allow you to dial your car into any track condition. As they are made from woven carbon fibre they not only look really good, they are ultra light and ultra strong and should withstand many heavy impacts.


Front one-way bearing shaft

Front Axle alu with one way bearings

Another item originally developed from its high tech big brother is the front axle with one way bearings. This replaces the gear diff and removes the 4 wheel braking on the standard car. This allows the car to be driven to the edge whilst staying stable on and off power and allowing faster cornering speeds to be achieved. An essential track racing upgrade to take you to the top.


Front anti-roll bar in place

Adjustable front anti-roll bar

Now as standard the front anti-roll bar makes the car very stable therefore reducing roll and allowing better grip and turn, going into, during and coming out of, the corner and it is adjustable which allows you, the user, a lot of control over the front handling characteristics of the car. This piece is competition developed and is essential for getting your car to peform on a variety of tracks.


The rear anti-roll bar

Rear anti-roll bar

Working in the same way as the front anti-roll bar, this makes the rear end of the car very stable during fast direction change and again allows the car to be taken to the edge in competition. Not adjustable.


Alu wheel adaptors. Top - front, Bottom - rear

Alu Wheel adapters

With all that traction developed by the Pro´s features it is important that your wheels stay stable and therefore provide you with consistent handling. Replacing the plastic versions with these aluminium pieces ensures that the wheels stay true and free of vibrations. The wheel fixing system used is standard in this class which means you can use a host of different wheels on your Impulse.


The 6 spoke rear wheel with foam tyre

Foam tyres

Serpent selected foam tyres to connect our Impulse Pro to the tarmac. Providing excellent grip without the confusing choice of rubber tyres, these pre trued and glued tyres come on new stylish six spoke rims. Looks good and performs even better. The car will be sold with 30mm width rear wheels and 26mm width front wheels. Different sizes are also available to allow you to race under the different regulations. Rubber tyres can still be used if regulations require.


Aluminium chassis stiffener

Chassis Stiffener

Because you want competition level power, you choose a rear exhaust engine. To fit this engine to the Impulse without compromising chassis stiffness we have included this Serpent purple anodised chassis stiffener and belt tensioner. Specially designed to work with RE engines this beautiful looking piece ensures that the rigidity of the Impulse is maintained.
