According to the Serpent site, the 960 weighs about 5.5lbs w/out motor/fuel/electrics. So, I figure about 7-8lbs loaded with motor/batts/etc. Something 4WD at that weight, I'd go with the Castle 2650, which is more like a Neu 1512 in size. Believe me, it is plenty big and powerful enough to accelerate that to 50mph speeds easily. A Neu 1515 or Castle 2200 are around the same size, and are a bit large for something like the Serpent IMO unless you are gearing really tall for insane speeds.
