The Serpent Viper 977 EVO stands as a modern take on 1/8 scale on-road racing, drawing on Serpent's long experience in performance models. This kit is a focused rework that prioritises handling and adjustability for racers.
The Viper's chassis is machined from 7075 T6 aerospace-quality aluminum to deliver a controlled stiffness to mass ratio. The integrated flex system lets you alter handling characteristics, and a carbon fiber radioplate with an aluminum mid-flex layer offers sharper steering response and balance under load.
Power delivery runs through the two-speed SL8 XLi gearbox, built for low inertia and consistent shifts under race conditions. The Centax true motion clutch ensures reliable engagement throughout acceleration zones.
Suspension is independent double wishbone with RCM hydraulic shock absorbers, enabling accurate adjustment of camber, caster and toe to suit driving style and track grip.
Updates include a front bumper that accepts removable inserts for quick aerodynamic changes and a reinforced rear body mount with extra tuning holes. The narrower front geometry improves corner entry, and extensive use of light components reduces weight and improves agility.
For racers wanting a platform with broad setup windows and durable components, the Viper 977 EVO is a sensible base for club and national competition tuning.
