Reworking the Viper 977 EVO for Precise Track Handling

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.

Chassis Built for Tuning

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.

Transmission and Suspension Details

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.

Refinements for Stability and Agility

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/8
  • Drive: 4WD
  • Chassis Material: 7075 T6 Aluminum
  • Suspension: Independent Double Wishbone
  • Shock Absorbers: RCM Hydraulic
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: 125cc

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.

The car offers many tuning points including chassis flex, shock settings and multiple mounting locations, making it straightforward to adapt from low grip street courses to higher grip asphalt circuits.
Tyre choice depends on surface and conditions. Use competition-grade 1/8 on-road tyres and match wheel offsets to ensure correct track width and tyre clearance.
Expect a detailed build that takes several evenings for experienced builders. Allow extra time for setup and testing to get handling dialed in.
Aftermarket options and Serpent spares can be used to refresh or upgrade clutch components and gearbox internals for different track demands or durability improvements.
Regular checks of drivetrain alignment, shock oil condition, and clutch wear will keep performance consistent. Clean and inspect components after each race day.
