Serpent Viper 988
1/8 scale gas onroad car

Serpent has been developing  1/8 scale onroad rc cars since 1977, officially as company since 1980.  That is over almost 40 years of  race and development experience combined !

The Serpent  Viper 988 is the next step in the continiuous development of this very demanding  1/8 scale racing class, the pinnacle of rc car racing.  The Viper 988 is a new platform for the coming years, which still shares some proven parts of the Japan-Worlds winning Viper 977.
