The Serpent 904004 Viper 988-e is built as a focused 1/8 scale electric touring platform for circuit work and performance tuning. Its geometry and construction support precise setup choices for competitive environments.
The car features a 4mm aluminium chassis aimed at delivering a tuned balance of rigidity and weight. The symmetrical design aids predictable handling while the carbon twin top deck increases torsional stiffness where needed.
The 2-belt arrangement is chosen to improve driveline efficiency and weight layout. A central mid shaft with large ball bearings keeps rotational losses low, and the adjustable suspension offers multiple configurations for steering and traction control.
Serviceability is central to the design, with easy access for spur gear changes and routine checks. The modular parts approach makes testing aftermarket pieces and tuning straightforward as performance goals evolve.
The Serpent 904004 Viper 988-e is a strong choice for competitive hobbyists who prioritise tuning and reliable mechanical layouts in a 1/8 touring car.
