Precision Engineering for Club and Circuit

Experience refined race handling in the Serpent 903017 Viper 988. This 1/8 scale gas-powered touring car focuses on tunability and consistent dynamics, delivering a platform that rewards careful setup and driving technique.

Chassis Strength and Adjustable Layout

The Viper 988 uses a 5mm 7075 T6 aluminium chassis to provide a strong, predictable base. An adjustable wheelbase combined with independent double wishbone suspension and RCM shocks allows precise tuning for stability and steering response.

Front-End Aero for Better Turn-In

The Flow aero bumper with interchangeable inserts lets you alter front downforce and steering balance. Small aero changes can have a big effect on mid corner entry and exit stability at race pace.

Efficient Gearbox and Clutch Design

A lightweight 2-speed XLi gearbox paired with the Centax race clutch gives smooth power shifts and strong acceleration out of corners. Durable spring steel CVDs and a solid rear axle help handle the load during competition.

Setup Range and Serviceability

Adjustable camber, caster, toe-in and roll centre settings give you the freedom to match the car to different tracks and driving styles. The modular component layout keeps maintenance and parts replacement straightforward.

For drivers focused on lap times and setup refinement, the Serpent 903017 Viper 988 offers a race-capable package with durable components and flexible tuning options.

Basic RC tool kits will handle most maintenance, but having torque wrenches, a clutch bell puller and precision shock tools speeds up accurate setup and servicing.
Tyre choice depends on track surface and conditions. Softer compounds increase mechanical grip while harder compounds reduce wear; match tyre to track and suspension setup for best results.
Upgrade paths include stronger CVDs, alternative clutch shoes and different spur and pinion options. Ensure compatibility with the 2-speed XLi gearbox when selecting parts.
Inspect CVDs, bearings, clutch components and the gearbox for play or scoring after sessions. Replace worn items before they affect handling or cause failure during a race.
