Finally get my 2022 1/8 Serpent GT. Serpent come to the party and pay my shipping. Two days from Hong Kong to Australia, three weeks postage in Australia!!!
Hello, thanks for unboxing video. Im really hesitating about this pretty nice truck. My friend has the GTE WC kit with carbon packet and also the best hobbywing electronics (2800kv motor and best 1/8 pro ESC), but it cost together approx 1600 Euro. But it is so much for me and now im driving S411 serpent and want some bigger, this RTR set seems to me very nice in price/quality. Are you still happy with the truck? Still is possible to take the kit and put there older electronic from another truck, but this RTR looks so nice factory build :-) I plan switch/solder connectors for 4mm bullet as i have in all onroad trucks if i buy RTR.
Martin, Hi, yes I am very happy with the car but I have not raced it week after week so can not comment on it's full durability. I have however given it some really good runs at the track and love how it drives. The RTR electrics as it comes are more than enough to be competitive with 6s batteries. A speed run with GPS sensor got me 78KMH just this weekend. It is totally possible to change the motor and ESC if you wish. I will endeavour to film and post a vid of it running now that I have it sorted.
@@bradgray8064 Yes, it looks great on the first sight. It must been like Christmas when you unpacked it :-D I also think that on onroad trucks, ale lower differences in durability. If you compare onroad kit/rtr and offroad kit/rtr. In offroad, there are jumps etc and there is more reasonable to take the tougher kit pro version. In onroad, here is huge price gap in kit+electro vs rtr and i take rather this, than the Infraction for example.
I just thrash mine solo in Newcastle NSW here. Please, get rid of all its standard screws immediately. I've wasted a small fortune on all varieties of threadlocks. Yokomo titanium screws fit perfectly & are on special on many sites. The velcro battery straps will anger you too.
Thanks, that car has been on my radar for over a year. Great unboxing.
Thanks. I don't run it very often but love it when I do and am going to race it next season.
I've heard credible rumors from "RCMart" that you should buy one ASAP due to near distant factory interruptions.
Video starts @ 2:10
Hello. Thanks for the video. Do you know what diff oil comes in the front and rear diff out the box?
John, I think it is 3000cst but will confirm later if they get back to me. Cheers.
