Central spline
The composite central spline in which the front belt runs, creates a very strong
chassis stiffener, right in the center of the car. It also protects the front
belt very well against debris and insures no belt can skip.
Battery and stays
The saddle pack battery (not included) is kept in place by 2 easy to use composite
battery-covers. Small machined aluminum nuts are included to keep them in place.
Electronics
The center of the car allows plenty of space to mount the most popular speedo
and receivers, as well as the transponder. The car also allows enough space
to enable nice routing of your cables. The shorty type servo is mounted on integrated
composite stands. Various spacers and horns are included to suit the most popular
servo brands.
Drivetrain
The dual belt system is very durable and light. The Kevlar reinforced front
belt is fully captured, so well protected against debris which increases life.
The Kevlar reinforced side belt is open due to its location, and the closely
fitted body will prevent debris from coming in contact with the belt. The belts
run on precision machined pulleys. The front belt tension can be changed with
eccentric inserts.
Gear-diffs
The 2 compact oil-filled gear differentials front and rear. These super smooth
units are light and compact and very durable. The differentials are also very
easy to build and are very low maintenance. The diff-inserts in the cases allow
to you run a low, mid or high position which alters grip.
The rear gear diff has a hard coated aluminum gear for durability.
Drive shafts
Serpent spring steel CVD drive shafts and wheel axles for durability. Also the
lightened differential drive cups are in spring steel.
Suspension pins
Made in durable and strong Serpent hardened steel. Captured units with rounded
end which rotate in small ball-cups inside the suspension brackets, so it?s
super free.
Shocks
Serpent hard coated shock bodies and shock tops for super smooth operation and
durability. 3.2mm shafts with new X-ring package and molded pistons. The shocks
can be used either emulsion or membrane configuration. The shock springs have
ground ends, checked and matched for perfect equal operation. Ride height can
be easy set with the threaded collars which have o-rings inside to stay in position.
Steering
The fully ball raced angled dual axis steering system with integrated servo
saver function, offers an almost perfect Ackermann effect. Ackermann can be
set with small plates which mount to the steering arms. 3 types included to
play with. The angled system will prevent bump steer.
Chassis
The Aluminium 7075 T6 hardcoated 2.5mm chassis has the right flex combined with
the composite side-guards / chassis stiffeners and center spline. All holes
are countersunk to have a fully flat bottom surface. Holes are centered and
symmetrical for even flex.
The overall layout gives a 42/58 or 44/56 weight balance. Optional weights
and brass parts can be used to influence that.
Shock towers
Very durable 4mm thick carbon fiber front and rear shock towers with 4 positions
for shock angle.
Shock stays
Very durable aluminum shock stays combined with a small bushing and nylon flanged
nuts.
Slipper clutch
This light slipper-clutch unit, is a spring loaded 3 pad version, allow to control
the power distribution.
Front suspension
Strong composite lower suspension arms with mounting spots for the optional
anti-roll bar. Aluminum suspension brackets with inserts to change set-up. Small
but effective composite front bumper to protect the front end. The angled front
built in kick up allows for smoother landings. The composite front diff case
is a very strong affair to mount the diffs, front shock tower, central spline
and chassis too.
Steering blocks and c-hubs
The composite steering blocks and c-hubs offer a variety of set-ups with inserts
and shaped changeable Ackermann plates of which all 3 composite ones are included.
Rear suspension
The rear end shares many parts with the 2wd MM Spyder, which is nice if you
also run 2wd. Also here a very sturdy structure with the diff-case as base to
mount diffs, shock tower, chassis and motor mount to. Strong composite lower
arms. Suspension brackets in aluminum also here with inserts to play with set-up.
The beefy composite uprights offer 3 setup position in the top and inserts in
the bottom.
Rear wing and wing holder
The strong clear polycarbonate wing is mounted to the nylon rear wing holder.
The wing angle can be changed by using the included wing angle spacers: 0, 2,
4, 6, and 8 angle are all included.
Anti-roll bar
Both the front and rear allow mounting anti-roll bars. As default Serpent only
supplies the rear ball-raced anti-roll bar, as that is used more commonly.
Motor mount
The motor is mounted securely to the thick 3mm cnc machined 7075 T6 alu motor
plate, which doubles as cooler. Machined slots allow movement of the motor to
fine-tune the pinion/spur gap. The motor holder also holds the shafts of the
side belt system, and allows mounting.
Body mounts
The strong composite body mounts are easily located in case used. As alternative
velcro can be added to the side of the chassis stiffeners.
Body
The body is made in the same Avenger style as the 2wd buggy and shares its looks
and compact shape. Top quality clear polycarbonate is used. The body comes with
a masking sheet.
Rear wing and wing holder
The strong clear polycarbonate wing is mounted to the nylon rear wing holder.
The wing angle can be changed by using the included wing angle spacers: 0, 2,
4, 6, and 8 angle are all included.
Rims
Durable Serpent designed wheel are included in white color for front and rear
(tires and inserts are not included).
Clicker system
Standard in the car the ?solid clicker? is used for permanent 4wd, which for
high grip conditions is best to use. The optional clicker system requires few
extra parts only and can be used well in medium and lower grip conditions, to
allow the front wheels to spin more free and create more corner entry speed
as needed.
