Serpent Viper 990e 1:8 Electric Onroad

Serpent has announced the release of the Viper 990E, the successor to their successful 988E/989E 1:8 Electric Onroad chassis. Following extensive testing and research to improve the former electric powered 1:8 platforms, designer Michael Salven has put a lot of emphasis on the flex characteristic since that showed very promising results. On top of that Serpent have improved weight, weight distribution and ease of maintenance with a a lot of the development also going into the transmission. The goal was to have a bullet-proved, yet very free transmission. Some key features of the 990E are an ultra-narrow chassis that is milled down to allow the lowest possible mounting of the batteries plate as well as improving the overall flex characteristics. The central part of the chassis features 3 NACA ducts for the cooling of the speedo as well as the motor. The motor has been put as low as possible by machining the chassis underneath it. This improves the centre of gravity as well as the cooling from the bottom.
