SER904005 Serpent Viper 989-e 1/8 4wd EP Kit

The Serpent 989E Viper is the latest Electric version of the 989. Electric racing has developed big time, the possible power is huge. Especially in the popular dragster class in the US the power going through the transmission is extreme. The 989E is designed to take care of that power and put it down as effective as possible. The 989E is based on the ultra-successful 989 gas racer and shares it’s suspension, shocks and quite a lot of other features like the chassis plate or the driveshafts.

Overview of the main specs

torsion, in 7075 T6 aluminium, anodised and
laser engraved. Chamfered edges for more
ground clearance when cornering and
countersunk holes.

Coated threaded shock bodies in high quality
aluminium. Supersmooth x-ring / machined
bushing package, to guide and seal the spring-
steel piston rods. Precision machined pistons
