Serpent 903018 Viper 989 Track Tuned 1/8 GP Touring Car  [SER903018]

Track-Focused Development of the Serpent 903018 Viper 989

The Serpent 903018 Viper 989 represents focused development in the 1/8 nitro on-road class, blending proven design with detailed updates aimed at racers. Decades of experience inform the layout, producing a platform that rewards careful setup and on-track adjustments.

Chassis Engineering for Responsive Handling

The Viper 989 uses an ultra-narrow 7075 T6 aluminum chassis to strike a balance between torsional rigidity and low mass. Material is removed in low-stress zones to cut weight while keeping strength where it matters, helping the car respond promptly to steering inputs.

Refined Suspension and Mass Balance

Suspension work on the Viper 989 features a heave-damper option front and rear to separate roll and heave control. A carbon weight bridge with anti-vibration rubbers improves mass distribution and reduces shake for more consistent cornering.

Serviceability and Precision Adjustments

The modular layout simplifies routine maintenance and setup changes. The revised gearbox lowers rotational inertia for crisper acceleration and is accessible for quick tweaks. The ventilated brake disc maintains steady stopping power under race conditions.

For advanced racers seeking a precise platform, the Serpent 903018 Viper 989 provides a tunable foundation and race-ready engineering to refine lap times and handling balance.
