Built for Tuners: Viper 988-e Overview

The Serpent 904004 Viper 988-e delivers a refined 1/8 scale electric touring package aimed at on-track performance. Its compact footprint and engineering focus support detailed setup work for circuit conditions.

Aluminium Chassis and Structural Layout

This model features a 4mm aluminium chassis that strikes a balance between rigidity and weight control. The symmetrical arrangement helps with even weight distribution, and the carbon twin top deck boosts lateral stiffness for consistent handling.

Transmission Design and Suspension Options

The 2-belt drive arrangement is designed to optimise power transfer while keeping the driveline compact. A central mid shaft runs on oversized ball bearings to reduce drag, and the suspension is highly configurable to tune steering and traction for differing surfaces.

Service Access and Custom Setup

Service points are laid out for quick spur gear swaps and routine work. The platform is built for modular upgrades, making it simple to test aftermarket parts and refine performance progressively.

Serpent 904004 Viper 988-e is aimed at builders and racers who want a platform that responds well to setup changes and component upgrades.

What skill level matches the Viper 988-e?

The car is designed for intermediate to advanced hobbyists. Those moving up from smaller classes will find it rewarding but should expect a learning curve on setup and maintenance.

Does the chassis accept different top decks?

Yes, the twin carbon top deck can be replaced or altered to adjust stiffness. That flexibility helps tailor handling to your local track and driving style.

How important is bearing quality for this car?

High quality bearings reduce friction in the mid shaft and wheel hubs, improving efficiency and providing more consistent lap times. Inspect bearings regularly and replace if grinding or play appears.

Will setup changes make a big difference?

Yes, the adjustable suspension and chassis stiffness options allow significant changes to handling. Small tweaks to camber, toe and spring rates can noticeably affect grip and steering response.

Is maintenance straightforward between race days?

The layout provides good access for cleaning, belt checks and spur gear swaps, so routine maintenance between meetings is manageable with basic tools.
