The Serpent 966 has excelled in competitions worldwide and drivers are very happy with the easy handling and very-fast chassis.

- delrin bushings to capture the 2-speed shaft bearings
- ventilated, lightweight mono-disk brake now standard
- 3mm rear anti-roll bar wire type standard
The Michael Salven designed rear end of the Serpent 966 has caught the attention of other brands, and is becoming a popular...

In the final it was Collari 1st, Balestri 2 and in 3rd Serpent driver Andrea Cristiani. So a nice podium finish for Andrea, who closed in on Balestri and come to 1.5 sec gap only in the end. Nice close fight.
With 4 Serpents in the final a good result and could have been even better. Calce, Salven, and van Gastel were also all very fast.
Ilia van Gastel with 966 even set a new track-record during the final with a 14,277 sec lap, on a 300meter track, just imagine.

The Serpent Team is attending the EC 1/8 warm-up in Italy, Locarotondo, deep in the south.
Thursday Serpent aces Ilia van Gastel and Andrea Cristiany were setting the pace for Serpent.
Fabio Domanin and Massimo Fantini are getting back to speed after a long winter without racing.
Same applies to Mark Green and Serpent designer Michael Salven, looking for the pace, after only doing 1/12 scale racing in winter for practise ! Mark Green by the way was very fast in 1/12 with Serpent S120.
Lots of testing to do with set-up, bodies, tyres, engines etc.
We will keep you posted when we...

Alessio Mazzeo was able to finish 3rd in the last round of the Italian Nats in the Top-class and also arrived in 3rd place in the National Championship ranking.
His tyres were too small in the end to defend his 2nd position against Tironi, so had to settle for the last place on the podium, behind D-Angelo and Tironi. Great work from mechanic Domanin.
In the F1 class new Serpent driver Bracci, did very well with Serpent 733, after qualifying in 2nd, he also managed 3rd on the podium. Great race !

- Serpent 733-EVO 1/10 scale 4wd, Serpent 733-TE 1/10 scale 4wd, European Championship 1/10 at the Gubbio track in Italy
We started our trip to Gubbio on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Jirka Hassler from Serpent Europe, who was kind enough to be my mechanic for the EC, picked me up and we began the 700 km trip.
We finally arrived early Sunday morning and a lot of work was waiting for us already. Italian Serpent driver Giordano Agostinelli had not received his 733 yet and in a team effort, involving the Baumgarten and Gruber families, we managed to get his car build that day.
I was really lucky, that I had received my kit earlier and my Dad was able to build it in the week before the race.

With rain affecting round 5 and 6 on Thursday, the organisers cancelled the running for that day and decided to try and run round 6 on Friday morning before the lower finals. Unfortunately the weather didnt want to play along and the 6th round of qualifying was also abandoned. This left Serpent 960 racer, Massimo 'Max' Fantini in pole position for this years World Championship, having set the fastest time in qualifying on Wednesday, a fantastic result for the team who are using the new rear end for this World Championships.
