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 effectively as possible. The 989E is based on the ultra-successful 989 gas racer and shares its suspension, shocks, and quite a lot of other features like the chassis plate or the driveshafts.
Specifications:
Chassis:
Symmetrical chassis plate optimized flex and torsion, in 7075 T6 aluminum, anodized and laser engraved. Chamfered edges for more ground clearance when cornering and countersunk holes.
Low big bore shocks:
Coated threaded shock bodies in high-quality aluminum. Supersmooth x-ring / machined bushing package, to guide and seal the spring- steel piston rods. Precision machined pistons included in 3 types. Threaded pre-load shocknuts in alu with O-ring inside. Light but strong nylon spring cups. Selected, matched, and paired shock absorber springs with color-coding.
Shock tower front & rear:
The 3mm carbon fiber front and rear shock tower with 2 positions for the front and 3 positions for the rear for upper shock mounting.
Steering blocks:
Very strong composite steering blocks with 2 Ackermann positions, L and R use the same. The steering blocks feature inserts, which allow changing the kingpin inclination to a leading or trailing position. The steering blocks also allow the use of the optional carbon fiber aero disks to be mounted for less flex and more direct steering feel.
Uprights:
Durable medium type composite uprights, which seat the wheel-axles bearings. The upright offers the mounting position for the steel camber-rod with L/R threading. Roll center changes can be made on top of the upright with shims. The upright can be mounted with the optional carbon fiber aero disks for more rear grip and straight-line stability.
Wheel axles and driveshaft
The durable spring steel wheel axles combined with spring steel driveshafts bring the power to the wheels.
Pullies
Precision molded super-true pullies, which feature holed sidewalls to let debris move out easier. Light and durable.
Belts
Low friction Kevlar reinforced belts with fine pitch. Longlasting and smooth.
Decals
The 989 includes one sheet with Serpent generic logos and one with 989 logos. Decals are very thin material and come pre-cut.
Package total weight: 3000.00 grams (incl. packaging)
Package size: 26.00 x 56.00 x 23.00cm

The Racing Experience Serpent has been around for more than 30 years and it was founded by Berton BV, which is named the two founders, Pieter Bervoets and Ron Ton, which both were RC car racers. The pair built their first RC car in 1972, using a Kyosho Dash 1 chassis modified by themselves. In 1977, the duo started to develop their first car under the Serpent name in 1977 and in 1979, both Bervoets and Ton had won separate EFRA 1:8 titles with their Mk. III Pro.
Despite the broken road that Serpent has been on, they've got team drivers from Europe, US, and Asia, taking 9 world titles, and 37 European titles altogether, plus a number of nationals. Its line of products specializes mainly in 1/8 and 1/10 scale for buggies, touring, and pan cars.
It's Serpent's goal to create great products, which offer a truly great racing experience. Experience racing, race Serpent! All Serpent products are available at the largest online rc store.
