Serpent to close?

[bigred5765]

durango is a american car so doubt its owed buy anyone other than them

well i thought all "inventions" belong to serpent because Strenge works / worked for serpent. I dont know if it is possible to seperate that easy. this are just my thoughts. i was only talking about the inventions/ patent stuff, not the names sorry.

the 1/8 status is hard to tell as long nobody uses it at the moment

Is Strenge and Neumann no longer in colloboration with Serpent?

that's my question :-P . I dont know any other reason why they should switch to the old name (which is used by dodge) without any serpent statement, without any serpent decals, without 1/8 prototype...
it SEEMS whatever they do it is without serpent

I cant believe what im hearing this is just bad i really liked the serpent kits

[mark christopher]

think you will find its more rumours and speculation, serpent have simply moved production, serpent is still in holland and working, they have just released the 12th car, the s500 will be after xmass

i wonder why you are that sure that Serpent is still working on the car.
The durango team on the 1/8 worlds is running without serpent stuff again ... sorry but i cannot believe that they suddenly decided racing without serpent stuff but keep working for them ....

[Answer-RC-Pete]

I forgot about the Durango boys at the worlds - presume it is just Nueman running?

[Lee]

agreed, i think there has been some goings on over there.

Maybe they dont like Jorn??

[Moose]

yes just neumann. billy easton is running ocm (or something like that). durango was always more or less only neumann with strenge. Neumann is a great driver.you couldn t have a better one... we will see

[Lee]

Are you sure??

Is he world and european champion?

[Moose]

former EC no WC, but Aigion is or was dominating 1/8 for years without winning any important race
I only tried to say this two men team works perfect. Joern would never leave durango and he is awesome fast what more is a private engineer looking for.

[Chris Doughty]

someone is at the worlds with a serpent proto

I would asume this is Jorn's because its got an Orion engine in it

[Answer-RC-Pete]

that looks sooooooo far from production.....

[Lee]

It doesnt even have a fuel tank

[Moose]

@doughty: sure thats the durango car. nothing special with the cars itself .... (they were working on it before they joined serpent)
The question is should we call it serpent proto any longer ? :P

@Lee: yes no fuel tank but great RC box

If I remember right, that perticular configuration appeared at the Euros this year as a serpent, and most of the work for it to make it look like that and not like the durango proto used at the Neo and Proline race was done while they were working at/for serpent, surely they can't leave and take the design that was being worked on FOR serpent???

anyway, who actually know I certainly don't.

[mark christopher]

my source says serpent are still up, running and working on thier new products
