Will the S500 ever come?
Reading this: http://www.redrc.net/ where stands that Strenge and Neumann are busy with the newly founded Team Durango, I'm not sure what will happen with the Serpent S500

In answer to the thread title
NO, the man who was designing it has gone out on his own venture and taken his design with him |

Indeed, this was my thought too, maybe they will act as an extern factory for Serpent, like that company that made the TRF416 does for Tamiya? Because you can still see a small Serpent sticker on the body of the car shown in the picture. But maybe it is just a coincidence.

It's gotta be pretty obvious now that Serpent won't make any off-road cars for years to come...

Or... His services were not needed anymore and costing them to much money . So , they decided that is would be better of without him, and kept the designs.... (it dosen't look like the S500 in that 'team durango' picture) Please don't say that man... I still want to believe in it....

It sounds like Serpent have enough worries on their mind right now... I think they will consolidate and get properly back on their feet before going into the off-road scene. Keep in mind that Serpent has made buggies in the past, and it was not successful...
Also remember that we are entering bad times now, so RC sales will surely go drastically down as well... better stick to what you know best for a while... That being said there's no patented solutions on the car. So anyone who likes can copy the "design" 100%. You might say that Aero did just that

Sad to see them go - wish they had bothered to tell me or pay me the money they owed but I guess I'm not the only one to lose out. Sad to see them go but glad I didn't take up the job offer.

I don't wish to dance on their grave - I'm genuinely sad to see them go as I really liked the company and I've been made redundant myself at least three times, so I know how it is. I find the way they dealt with me to be disrespectful and that's just how it is but I'll get over it and I wish everyone that worked there the best.
