S500 - pre production car
REDRC.net got the first shots of the new S500 4WD buggy from Serpent in their comprehensive report on the Nuremberg ToyFair 2008.
The new car is based on the original Durango concept - but reworked from the ground up by Gerd and the designers at Serpent. The S500 features a flat pressed main chassis with machined screwed-on sides, which form a rather unique alloy 'tub' - providing both strength and weather sealing, negating the need for an undertray or top deck. The rear of the chassis appears to have a plastic 'skid plate' to prevent the chassis from wearing on hard surfaces. As we said last week - the new car widens toward the front to accomodate 'regular' sized electrics, and the servo sits under the steering. Last edited by jimmy; 08-02-2008 at 10:54 AM. |

Nice looking car.
But how does the steering work ? Looking at the pictures the servo horn faces into the car and there is no signs of a linkage OR is the servo installed wrong ? |

That'll be needed to change the cells then.
I can tell you from experience, removing the slipper to change the cells gets tedious..... And imagine if it popped open over the big jump at Batley!
