There are no question about the Serpent 966 performance. Mark Green from UK used the Serpent 966 entered the A-Main final at the 2009 1/8th World IC Championship. The car itself is just as good as Mugen, Kyosho or Montonica.

This 966-E is definitely cost just as much as the NITRO version ($600 price tag)....It is no DM-1 or any other buggy conversion because this is the true 1/8th On Road Circuit type Race car. It won't be like $100 or $200 more then the Nitro version. If someone really want to save money, you can try to spot a used nitro 966 and buy the conversion kits and that MIGHT save you $100 or so, but I doubt it will save by alot.

My concern is NOT the car, it is what type of batteries, speedo and motor that they are planning to use to convert this 966-E to run against the nitro version. I am not asking too much, just 5 minutes hanging against a nitro 966 with average engine/pipe and I am all in for that...

They should've had one out a while back. It's funny that I've seen normal R/C guys do a better job.
