Serpents new baby

[DCM]

No offence taken, but there have been a lot of people breaking wishbones in what is, insignificant impacts, it just appears that, rather than invest in a new moulding or alter the current one, they have gone for the soft option.

The layshaft should of been supported with a bigger diameter screw, and maybe one that passed all the way through with a nut on the end.

I do admire the balls of Schumacher, but I do think this car has missed the mark, in comparison to other touring cars on the market, especialy compared to the S400.

Ok, in my opinion the car is very good and Schumacher have produced a very good car. Although I've not had problems with the layshaft or wishbones.

The Mi3 can be improved, just like nearly any other car. But I think that the Mi3 is as good if not better than all of the other cars out there. The Mi3 is really easy to maintain and generates a lot of traction.

[DCM]

hmmmmm, I would bet my bottom dollar that it is no better than any car out there.... but I don't put it on the par of the Tamiya/Hot Bodies or I reckon, the new serpent though, as much as it is a good car, it isn't a GOOD car, I just wish it was, being it is British.

[Jonny Aird]

Have you ever built or raced one?

[mark christopher]

serpent is availabe to buy now!!

[DCM]

how much are they Mark?

Jonny, I have built and raced MANY Schumachers, even been on their team, and the one thing they are renowned for is, bringing a car out, then about 4-5 months down the line, changing everything.... so just as you get the car to work, it changes. Some say, it is constant developement, some say that they know it wasn't right in the first place.

[quote=DCM;57592]how much are they Mark?

You would hope around the £300 area else it is just too expensive. Most of the top end touring cars are in that price range.

Eg, Grainger BD £269
tc5 £269
MI3 £265
Xray T2 007 £269.

I know that this kit will be top quality but most of the kits are quite good these days.

[mark christopher]

its rrp is 299.95
so in the correct price range as shops will prob knock it out a bit lower

[mark christopher]

mb models in leeds have em in stock at a special introductary price
