Serpent releases a new development stage for the 1/10 scale gas onroad class, the 747. Shown at the Toy Fair a few months ago, it comes loaded with many improvements and new features and is much lighter too. Focus points for this development stage was to achieve a wider sweet spot, combined with lower weight and further improved performance, and keep a very strong car as before. At first glance the car may look very similar to the 733-TE, but in reality around 50% of the car is new. Italian, German, English and USA drivers in specific were very helpful supplying feedback and testing the new developments. True team-work and it pays off.
