Serpent 1/8 Viper 990 EVO On Road Car Kit GP

Description:

This is Serpent 1/8 Viper 990 EVO On Road Car Kit GP. The Serpent Viper 990 EVO is the successor of the successful 990. It features new “flex shock mounts”, offering extra flex adjustment as well as having the possibility to fine-tune the shock positions. The EVO also features a new bumper which is lighter, offers more body support and is stiffer as well! It also improves aero due to a better fit to the bodyshell. Also part of the upgrade is a new tank as well as a new topdeck. On top of that we improved reliability.

Feature:

• The most visible new feature are the new shock mounts. They offer the possibility to add more flex by removing the connecting carbon brackets.

• It is also now possible to change the shock angle on the inner mounting position in small 1mm

• Another improvement has come from the new bumper. It is an aerodynamic improvement, but as the same time it gives more support to the bodyshell. It also is a lot more resistant to bending. All of that comes with a reduced weight by almost 10g!!!

• The EVO also features a revised fuel tank, allowing more clearance with the carburettor, and also allowing to raise the tank as desired. The new shape of the tank is accompanied by a revised topdeck

• The new front arms feature a carbon downstop lever which gives a much more accurate and consistent downstop setting, a very important part of the car’s setup.

• A modified front one-way shaft allows a more narrow setting than in the past. A front narrow trackwidth is important to be able to achieve on most tracks nowadays

• Another change to the arms (front and rear) is the extra 1mm adjustment in wheelbase.

• We found that in some circumstances the car is better with a longer wheelbase.

• Of course the EVO still features the removable inserts for the upright as well as the steering blocks for super easy maintenance.

• In the EVO both inserts are centric, eccentric versions for extra setup possibilities are available as options

• All of the above features have been extensively tested and found to improve performance.

• The rear lower arm is beefed up as well, also giving more support to the inner, longer pivot ball.

• The rear upright is have been reinforced.

• As the front steering block have been reinforced as well.

• Finally, the servosaver shaft has changed from aluminium to steel.

• The 5mm aluminium chassis has perfect symmetrical shape for even flex and weight distribution. The ultra-narrow chassis is very light, while it still remains strong in critical places.

• The central weight bridge is mounted from underneath and allows for a quick change of the weight. The weight itself is fixed using a nylock nut. Bulletproof!

• The optional front weight bridge is also mounted from the bottom to allow easy access to the weight.

• There are 2 additional locations to put a small weight, just behind the servo-saver and in front of the engine.

• The “backbone” of it is a carbon plate and an aluminium frame. The aluminium servo mounts are eccentric and can be mounted in 2 ways to adjust them to the brand of servos. The receiver box is more spacious than the one used in our 988, still it is very compact. It provides enough space even for older type receivers plus the transponder

• The wire type front anti-roll bar is ball raced. It is easy to change and adjust due to the open front end design. The standard wire is 2.5mm and 2 optional thicknesses are available. The pivot ball link system directs the suspension movement to the bar and allows easy tweak adjustment.

• The long durable front lower wishbones are the open-style arms similar to the 977. An aluminium shock mount plate is screwed onto the lower wishbone. This allows the shock attachment point to be placed further outwards improving shock motion. The front lower arms are mounted to the front brackets with nylon holders. The kit includes 2 versions: in and out. This system also enables quick and easy front drive shaft maintenance. Of course the 988 closed arms are usable as well

• The 3 position inserts allow camber-change adjustments and are held in place by the anodized aluminium top brackets. Below the top brackets, spacers can be used to change their angle or height. Caster is adjusted with clips on the upper pivot pins. The same clips are also used on the lower pivot pins to change wheelbase.

• The central mounted servosaver allows easy and fast Ackermann adjustment. The servosaver features a top mounted insert which can be used in 3 positions. Another 3 Ackermann positions are available on the steering blocks.

• The rear end construction with aluminium brackets is a very open design, which allows for easy of maintenance and cleaning. Dis-assembly requires the removal of only a few screws. Replacing a belt if needed, is a simple task. The eccentric bearing holders on the rear shaft allow adjustment of belt tension. The whole rear end can be removed as one unit from the chassis by removal of only a few screws.

• The narrow solid rear axle in Serpent spring steel has a lightweight 9mm wide 48T pulley. Spring steel, CVD type, drive shafts connect the rear shaft to spring steel wheel-axles with aluminium quick-change levers. A very durable and long lasting drivetrain.

• The rear floating body mount which is mounted on the up-rights with 2 arms is centred by a carbon-fibre and steel guider. The mount has 4 positions on each side to choose from, depending on body shell used and traction available. The threaded holes on the end of the body mount give the option to add further body-supports.

• The new Carbon bodymount is a much lighter version then the original bodymount. It provides excellent support for all Xtreme bodyshells. The total weight is 21gr, witch saves 14 gr to the standard bodymount
