The serpent is a much more modern chassis than the Mi1. It will be the faster car although check for parts availability as Serpents are not always easy to get spares for.
The Schumacher will be easier to find spares, but it's a very old chassis design.

Serpent S411 sport
Pros It's based on the Serpent S411 Cons Expensive, impossible to get parts easily, unusual car so no help for setup. Because the parts are currently available on ebay germany doesn't mean they will still be available in six months time when you break it. Schumacher mi1 Pros Cheap, durable, easy to get spares when you break it. Cons Old design so it isn't going to win a major championship, but then the serpent isn't going to either. If you can afford the Serpent then you are much better going for the Xray T3R or Associated TC6. Both better than the Serpent and both cheaper.

TC6
Try PBM racing for the TC6. They gave me a very good deal on it. Good car to drive, easy to work on. Needs a good carpet setup for indoors though. Olly Jefferies setups from ardent raceway are a good start.

Had a look around i can get a TC6.1 or a tamiya 417 for almost the same money online both seem to have parts available everywhere, im a tamiya fan
Which one of these would be the better buy ? |

All the high-end TCs perform well, I don't think there is a dud on the market right now.
I would buy based on quality, parts availability and local setup advice. My view is that the Tamiya design and quality is a lot better than the Associated. |

TA06Pro, very competent car to be fair, only thing you would need to fit is alloy suspension blocks, suspension is the same as the TRF417, easy electrics install, I raced one all last winter and it was a doddle to drive.
