Serpent is releasing a new development stage for the 1/10 scale gas-onroad class. Check out their press release below.

Loaded with many improvements and new features and much lighter too. Focus points for this development stage was to achieve a wider sweetspot, combined with lower weight and further improved performance, and keep a very strong car as before.

At 1st glance the car may look very similar to the 733-TE, but in reality around 50% of the car is new. Italian, German, English and USA drivers in specific were very helpful to supply feedback and test the new developments. True team-work and it pays off !
