Isn't that a 1/8 onroad? If it is, bmoc, it'll be WAY too fast for you...hell, it's probably too fast for me.

Just get a ntc3 and drop a Novarossi NS12S3...like me....my ntc3 is almost to fast for me right now, so it'll definitely be too fast for you.

You are right kwong it is a 1/8th scale. It's definitly toooo fast for bmoc!

BMoc - YES, its a BADASS to the bone ride!

If you can drop the loot and maintain it then by all means DO IT!

A couple guys run them here in a mall parking lot and man oh man, are they fast and handle like dream! They take turns faster than my TC3 any day of the week!

the only thing is i would be worried about where to run it i am limited to a few places and they are pretty much the old kmart parking lot. where the races are held

Yeah you definately dont want to be whipping up and down side streets with that ride. Too fast and too expensive to make a single mistake.

Parking lots are awesome for a car of that caliber.

 

[bmoc2008]

but the thing is i heard it is real low to the ground and that rocks and dirt screw it up


i think ill just buy an ntc3

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Thats probably a little bit lower. All on-road cars are VERY low to the ground. In fact, you want it close.

bmoc,, any serpent car can be made to be sic fast, but why would you spend all that dough to bash it in a k-mart parking lot? I was up in Orlando this weekend with nitraddict and saw the 1/8 serpents run for my first time, geeeeezuzzzz they were the fastest cars i had ever seen, but what I really liked was the way they handled, it was like they were stuck to the track! now, dont get me wrong, I am not much of a driver myself but I wanted one really bad, I mean Really bad! I about pee'd in my sneakers when this thing roared by me! I will be building a serpent kit over the winter, not sure what I am gonna do with it but I sure as hell wont be bashing in a parking lot! Thats what I have a tc3 for! and yes, the tc3 is plenty fast for me I can only recomend you get a tc3 for bashing, you will have it alot longer! one stone in a belt of a 1/8 serpent at 50+mph and you will be crying all the way home! and all the way to the bank! btw Parking lots are full of small debris that could kill a car like that, I always do a walk through before I run anything in a kmart lot

Yup, the 950 was pretty attractive when I saw it, I personally like it better then the MRX3(I usually dislike serpent, I'm a kyosho/mugen guy). They redesigned the gas tank, bulks and lower in cg. I'm not too sure on the 950R?? with the lay down throttle and steering servo, they got too far ahead now......:\
