it looks a bit 12th scale, the wheels/tires look pretty big.

hard to tell from just a render, but I think it will retain a lot of its durango'ness which is not a bad thing.

body looks nice, looks similar to something I raced last year

I love the way the rear end just hovers!!

Is that due to the reduction of the unsuspended mass??

Looks really nice! I'd prefer it narrow in the front like the original Durango though. Maybe they could make two versions of the chassis and the shell. The wide one if great for those with large electronics of course.

Got a bit of disapointing news from Serpent today.



[Ronald Baar] Hi,

The S500 is delayed until end of this year, but production preps are underway.
We are too busy with other projects of S120 ad S240 1st.

Thx for the interest. A pre-order list will not be made. We will make enough of them to meet demand

Ronald

I knew they weren't goning to release it untill after the Euros. But I didn't think they would have delayed it that far. Hopefully they'll release it for X-mas.
"tho I don't think that that is the best of time to sell RC " ( you would think that most people Buy there owne car. and not be offered them as presents.)
Anyway....
Gives us more time to anticipate it's release.
