Transform Viper 977 damping with Serpent 160152 big bore shocks

Serpent offers this big bore shock set tailored to the Viper 977, matching hardware used on the 977evo2 and designed for easy assembly and bleeding. The focus is on reliable response and straightforward track tuning.

Durable construction and dependable seals

Construction uses spring-steel shafts and 7075 T6 aluminium for strength, while machined Delrin pistons and spacers ensure consistent action. Pre-oiled x-rings improve sealing to reduce maintenance and keep damping predictable.

Pack contents and fitment notes

The kit includes two shocks plus long and short lower ball joints for flexible front or rear fitment. Springs are not included but standard Viper 977 springs are compatible, making it simple to swap these in. Two sets are necessary to convert a full car.

Compatibility across the Serpent line

The shock design is shared with the 411 4.0 and 748WC kits, differing only by shaft length for the 977, which helps with parts commonality and tuning consistency across models.

Specifications

  • Material: 7075 T6 Aluminum, Spring-Steel Shafts
  • Compatibility: Viper 977, 411 4.0, 748WC
  • Includes: 2 Shocks, Long & Short Ball Joints
  • Required for Full Conversion: 2 Sets

A solid upgrade path for hobbyists and club racers seeking crisper steering and improved cornering traction on the Viper 977 and other supported Serpent kits.

Standard shock tools and common RC hand tools are sufficient; careful bleeding and using a shock stand will make the job easier and faster.
The big bore units have larger bodies and higher quality materials for improved heat handling and more consistent damping under race conditions, though springs and oil choice still dictate final behaviour.
Yes, they are suitable for club racing and practice; expect to experiment with oil and piston options to match track grip and driving style.
