Serpent Seven 10 Professional Quality On-Road Touring Car
The Serpent 710 represents 2 years of intensive development and testing and setting new standards in performance, durability, ease of use and ease of assembly. The Serpent 710 is truely a professional grade on-road touring car.
The Serpent 710 features new innovative technology such as Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and a super-low center of gravity, the Serpent 710 is designed to not only perform, but to win! The Serpent Seven 10 provided new standards of quality and usability, this all new car features a rigid 4mm aluminum chassis as well as graphite used throughout to make the Serpent 710 extremely light but also very strong. The Serpent 710's suspension geometry results in excellent balance as well as improved cornering speeds and a wider "sweet spot".
Serpent 710 laydown steering system
The steering servo on the Serpent 710 is mounted in a lay down position under the radio plate to help lower the Serpent Seven 10's center of gravity. The servo arm on the Serpent 710 connects to a centrally mounted ball-raced servo saver that gives ultra-smooth movement through the steering rods that connect to the steering blocks.
Adjustable Main Axles
The Serpent 710 offers adjustable belt tension, which is accomplished by using eccentric hubs to hold the front and rear main axles on the Serpent Seven 10. Mounting blocks have been designed to hold the main axles and bearings. These mounts are also split in two, allowing you to quickly change either front or rear axle by removing just a few screws. In doing so, it is now simple to change between differential and solid axle making it perfect for those who enjoy testing different drive train combinations.
Serpent 710 Dynamic Rear Steering
The Serpent 720 includes a new rear end which features a newly designed 1-piece lower wishbones and fully adjustable uprights. As with all the wishbones on the car, the lower wishbones can be used on both the left and right sides, minimizing the number of spare parts needed to bring to the track. The rear upright features robust pivotball mounting points on the bottom and two upper camber link mounting holes for fine-tuning rear roll center.
Serpent 710 4mm chassis
The Serpent Seven 10 features a 4mm aluminum chassis to make the car more rigid throughout. The countersunk screw holes on the Serpent 710 chassis ensures the screws don't hit the pavement. The Serpent 710 chassis also features chamfered edges to give greater clearance when going over curbs or when running low to the ground.
Low Inertia Gearbox and Centax-III
The Serpent 710 uses an extremely lightweight transmission which uses gears that are finer pitched. The lighter weight of the Serpent 710 transmissino results in better acceleration, helping you get off the line or out of a turn faster!
Shock Towers
The shock towers on the Serpent 710 are made of graphite which have multiple shock mounting positions. Whichs helps to dial in your Serpent 710 to any track conditions. An extra front bodypost mounts had been added to the front shock tower. This extra post supports the bonnet of a saloon body shell just below the windscreen. New body posts were developed for the Serpent Seven 10 to further reduce weight but to also make it easier for you to mount the body shell.
Serpent’s 4-step externally adjustable shock absorbers now come with keyed shock pistons, which gives the shock a very positive click when selecting another setting. The Serpent 710 is supplied with yellow springs and Serpent’s ultra consistent 30W quality shock oil.
Adjusting the Serpent 710
After nearly 2 years, the Serpent 710 has been designed with the highest level of competition in mind and is therefore fully adjustable. The driver of a Serpent 710 can change numerous settings easily and effectively, including the suspension geometry. Upstops and downstops can be easily accessed and easily adjusted for optimum handling, as can the Serpent 710's roll centers at both the front and rear of the car. Castor, toe, and camber are also easily adjusted.
