The Serpent Viper 977 EVO brings advanced 1/8 scale on-road engineering to the fore, reflecting Serpent's long history of competitive design. This version reinterprets the touring car concept with a focus on setup flexibility and reliability.
The core platform uses a 7075 T6 aerospace-grade aluminum chassis for a controlled mix of strength and weight saving. The adjustable flex system helps drivers tune handling to match grip levels, while a carbon fiber radioplate combined with an aluminum mid-flex element improves steering clarity and balance.
The drivetrain centers on a two-speed SL8 XLi gearbox engineered for low inertia and smooth shifts. The Centax true motion clutch ensures consistent engagement under load.
Suspension uses independent double wishbones with RCM hydraulic shocks, allowing detailed setup changes to camber, caster and toe to suit different circuits and tyre choices.
New features include a front bumper with removable inserts for quick aerodynamic changes and a strengthened rear body mount with extra holes for fine tuning. A narrower front layout improves turn-in, while lightweight components help lower overall mass and sharpen response.
This kit is aimed at drivers who value a highly tunable platform with race-proven components and fully adjustable geometry for club and regional competition.
