The Serpent Viper 990E: A New Era in 1/8 Scale Racing
The Serpent 904006 Viper 990E is not just another electric-powered touring car; it represents a leap forward in design and performance for RC enthusiasts. With its ultra-narrow 7075 T6 aluminum chassis, this model promises enhanced flexibility and a lower center of gravity, crucial for competitive racing.
Innovative Chassis Design for Optimal Performance
The chassis of the Viper 990E is meticulously crafted to accommodate a low battery plate, enhancing stability and handling. The integration of three NACA ducts ensures efficient cooling for both the speed controller and motor, while the strategically machined areas allow the motor to sit lower, optimizing the vehicle’s center of gravity. This attention to detail in the chassis design translates into superior on-road performance, making it a formidable choice for serious racers.
Advanced Suspension and Steering Features
Flexibility and adjustability are at the heart of the Viper 990E's suspension system. The rear end features a reactive toe-change design, allowing for precise adjustments to suit various track conditions. Meanwhile, the front steering block's eccentric inserts provide options for altering the roll center, enhancing the car's adaptability during high-speed maneuvers. These components ensure that the Viper 990E remains responsive and agile, even under demanding racing scenarios.
Durable and Efficient Drivetrain
The drivetrain of the Viper 990E is engineered for durability and efficiency. Utilizing spring steel CVD drive shafts and lightweight pulleys, the system minimizes friction and maximizes power transfer. The quick-change levers on the wheel axles facilitate easy maintenance, ensuring that racers spend more time on the track and less time in the pits.
