The Serpent 710 in Brief
Featuring new innovative features such as Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS) and sporting a super-low center-of-gravity, the 710 is designed to perform. With new standards of quality and usability, this all new car features a rigid 4mm chassis as well as graphite used throughout to make this car extremely light but also very strong. A completely new suspension geometry results in excellent balance as well as improved cornering speeds and a wider “sweet spot.”

Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS)
A ground breaking feature that enables, depending on adjustment, rear toe-in setting changes during acceleration and braking as well as rear wheel steering assistance during cornering. You can easily select from 4 settings on the single arm wishbone to help tailor the car's handling to different track conditions.

New Steering System
The steering servo is now mounted in the lay-down position under the radio plate to help lower the car’s overall center-of-gravity (CG). The servo arm connects to a centrally-mounted ball-raced servo saver that gives ultra-smooth movement through the steering rods that connect to the steering blocks.

Easily Adjustable Main Axles
The 710 offers adjustable belt tension, which is accomplished by using eccentric hubs to hold front and rear main axles.
Innovative mounting blocks are designed to hold the main axles and bearings. These mounts are split in two, allowing you to quickly change either front or rear axle by undoing only a small number of screws. It is now simple to change between differential and solid axle, perfect for those who enjoy testing different drive train combinations.

Front One-Way to Front Solid Axle
Another innovative and time-saving feature of the 710 is the new front one way axle, which can be easily changed to a front solid axle through the use of an optional pin set. Easy and effective.

Chassis Plate
To ensure rigidity throughout the car we have supplied the 710 with a 4mm chassis plate as standard. Made from high-grade aluminum, this chassis plate features countersunk screw holes along the bottom to ensure that no screws come in contact with the ground. The chassis also features chamfered edges to give greater clearance when going over curbs or when running low to the ground.
TO keep the center-of-gravity as low and as centralised as possible, the chassis also houses the car's battery pack.
