What about My s500 no no no no no... they should have consentrated on the the s500. I'm sure they wouldn't be faceing any finaticial difficulties if they had gone ahead with it. seen nuff peole drullin' over that car. If this is true. It a very sad day for rc.

Hopefully it's just a nightmare and Serpent will issue a statement saying it's not true - I very much hope. the S500 is possibly the best looking RC ever - if it never appears it will be a desperate shame. But lets wait until Serpent confirm something themselves.

This is really shocking! Weren't they about to release a 1/12th scale aswell? The nitro tarmac stuff they do is pretty much the best in the world and the electric touring car appeared to be a success too! If they are in financial difficulty, hopefully one of the big names can come in and incorporate/buy out or at least throw them a lifeline of some sort.

Update: We have received further information that a largescale relocation of the company to Asia is in the works as well as a complete re-branding, the Holland HQ will close.
source from neo-buggy I smell a plastic chassis in the works.

That's terrible news.
Hopefully some other company can buy them out and finish the cars that they couldnt produce. That s500 looks like a sweet buggy.

Made perfect sense to me, in fact I was already thinking exactly the same before I read Dans post
I hope that we don't end up with another Chinese cheese wagon when we could have seen a Dutch barnstormer |
