New Serpent 2wd 1/10th buggy coming
Just saw this on RC Tech, seems that Serpent is getting into 1/10th off road then.
http://www.liverc.com/news/announcem...road_buggy%21/ Perhaps we will get a 4wd buggy as well some time. |

The Durango/Gerd Strange/Serpent tie up and prototype buggies are well known, but it would be good if Serpent could release 1/10th off road buggies that we can all own and enjoy.

Because it is the Durango DEX410, look at the wooden plinth, it has an old Durango logo . Something happened and the car was released under the Durango brand

Anyway, cool to see they're also working on a 2WD! I just hope it's something different and unique, and with a good looking shell! (Please Serpent, take Tamiya's late 80s and early 90s buggies as an inspiration) |

I know there will be a lot of Serpent fans saying this is awesome...
But...... Is it just me or does this look not so special... The only thing to really make this car slightly worse is wood screws... It looks cheap and nasty, and for a car to be debuted, jesus make the wiring at least presentable! Not impressive at all. |

Ron, I agree that it is not as unique and progressive as one might hope - especially being a newcomer in a class. And sure, Serpent should seriously regret not entering the 1/10 offroad scene a few years back with their brand name on the DEX410...
However, things don't need to be wild, unique and special to become successful. If they've done their homework, most people can squeeze good performance out of the car, it will be easy to work on and tough as nails. For a car suitable for the masses, you need those points. For a car that appeals to the masses, you need those points that make the car unique... |

The car is a preproduction model. People going on about it looking dated what would you do different? You can't reinvent the wheel. This car will be a good quality solid 2wd buggy.
