Precision Chassis and Tunability on the Viper 990

The Serpent 903020 Viper 990 packs a narrow-profile chassis to concentrate flex where it benefits cornering and stability. The design supports detailed setup work so tuners can tailor behaviour to the local track surface.

Milled Chassis and Weight Control

The chassis milling lowers the radio tray and refines flex characteristics while minimising the central aperture under the tank. A centre weight bridge, adjustable from under the car, allows quick shifts to the mass balance for changing conditions.

Refined Rear End and Front Steering Options

The redesigned rear geometry reduces binding and introduces reactive toe dynamics for cleaner rotation. The front steering blocks use an eccentric aluminium insert to change roll-center and accept either trailing or leading steering options.

Smooth Power Delivery and Strong Drive Shafts

A lightweight two-speed shaft and balanced pulley setup reduce parasitic loss for better acceleration. Drive shafts are crafted from spring steel to resist bending and keep power transfer consistent under load.

Wide Adjustment Range for Track Tuning

Adjustable camber, caster and multiple Ackermann inserts let you fine-tune steering response and tyre wear. The accessible layout and quick-change levers simplify setup swaps between practice runs.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/8
  • Drivetrain: 4WD
  • Chassis Material: 7075 T6 Aluminum

  • Anti-roll Bars: Wire type, ball-raced

This Viper 990 is a solid base for racers who enjoy setup work and want a chassis that responds predictably to adjustments. It balances durability with performance-focused features.

Select tyres with a compound that matches grip levels; medium compounds work well for mixed dirt and worn asphalt. Pair tyre choice with progressive camber and softer roll bars for traction.
Assembly requires moderate to advanced kit-building skills, including engine fitting and drivetrain alignment. It is ideal for hobbyists comfortable with setup and maintenance tasks.
Between runs, check fastener tightness, verify driveline free play, inspect clutches and pulleys, and confirm shock oil levels to keep handling consistent.
Common wear parts and upgrades for the Viper 990 are widely available from hobby shops and online retailers that stock 1/8 GP components.
