How is the parts reliability? Is it easy to replace parts and is it cheap?
I haven't seen too much of them only at a few places like amain or Michael's hobbies.
Why is it not like a Traxxas where you see it a lot?
however you mean certain stuff?Serpent is more for racing ,they are not your ordinary back yard beater ,an
they were well known in the on road racing seen at famous International tracks!..
I think Mugen & Serpent is into together on certain stuff!
Because Traxxas is more focused on the casual back yard hobbiest ,an they know
that parts are going to break!...
however you mean certain stuff?
Hello. This serpent brand the reason why I was interested in it because I like the on road cars that they make. But at $700 to $1,000.I may have been wrong on that ,it was Mugen/Seiki .not Serpent ,but Serpent is top of the line stuff!..
Heres a vid on a Serpent to show what they are & known for!..
Looking at this brand serpent. I guess it's a good brand. But what I'm saying is i'm talking about like how reliable are the parts if you break something.
I understand that it's for people who really know what they're doing and don't make mistakes or have it's sort of a non budget income basically.
But I was looking at this pan car and I was studying and how much some of the parts cost.
The chassis plate actually cost if you replace it $130. Then there's the rear axle which is where the motor and the changing gear is attached to.
The axle the rear one is actually the second most expensive thing if that ever gets broken or compromis, that would cost $50.
But here's the conflict with that while it's not an issue but where do you get these parts from if you buy from A Main Hobbies and they don't sell them.
I'm looking at it right now. If you can order directly from the manufacturer. I just don't see buying something in a way that it may not be convenient as far as finding Replacements all the time and I know it's not a beater up. Wait.
Let me ask a question is there like a limit of what kind of surface as far as flat surface that you can drive a pan car on?
Notice what I'm looking at has no shocks.
It's not the kind that I think if you bump into something it wasn't a sword of it I don't?

Thank you for the information. I told Mom that it doesn't come with the tires and the body. She thought it was a rip-off being much as it is.I dont know ,this type of car ,I dont think that it is popular in a lot of areas that dont have a track for them ,
that being said ,the hobby shops in those area's is not going to support that model or stock the parts for it ,
however ,you would have to order from their dealer ,their website should offer the nearest local dealer that
handles the parts for it!
As far as it being a pan car ,yes ,it will not handle too much of a rough surface on high speed cornering like
one would have with shocks!
The pan cars also has a solid rear axle an may handle totally different on a rough road ,an it being low to the
ground!
That car is for high speeds on a smooth surface like a track an not for a street with small crevases or ripples
in my opinion!
I would not get that type just for that reason ,if I was to get more of a street car ,it would have to be the proper
tunable suspension & differential set up!
Also ,to me ,that car is not worth paying that price for because it lacks versatility ,an there is less car for that
huge price!
I hope this helps!...
