Serpent 733 1/10th scale CAD Images

Serpent 733 1/10th scale CAD Images

Having taken the first photos of the car last weekend at the Bumod GP in Turkey, Serpent have released CAD images and details about their new 1/10th scale 200mm, given the name 733. To cope with the growing amounts of horsepower and to translate that to superb grip on the tarmac, the car is a completely new design, carrying very few parts across from the current 720 series. It performed well on its race debut, with some bad luck for Jilles Groskamp denying a certain TQ and taking him out of a leading position in the main final. Expected for release in July, there will be a limited run in time for drivers competing at the European Championships in Gubbio, Italy.
