Viper 977 WC Limited Edition: Championship Inspired

The Serpent Viper 977 WC Limited Edition recognises Tadahiko Sahashi's TQ and World Championship achievements in Japan during the 2013-2014 season. This special kit incorporates many optional components used in his race-winning package so drivers can build a championship-like car.

Precision 5mm 7075 Chassis Construction

The model is built around a 5mm 7075 aerospace-quality aluminium chassis, CNC machined to deliver consistent flex characteristics and balance. The engraved Viper 977 WC marking denotes the limited nature of this edition and underscores its track-focused intent.

High-Performance Suspension and Steering

Independent double wishbone geometry combined with RCM shock absorbers offers refined handling and quick response. Camber, caster and toe-in are fully adjustable, and the steering block delivers a choice of Ackermann geometries for precise cornering control.

Tuning Weight and Drivetrain Efficiency

Brass weight inserts in the chassis slider allow quick adjustments to the car's balance to influence grip and steering. The carriage of a lightweight 2-speed SL8 gearbox and anodised aluminium parts reduces rotating mass and helps with sharper acceleration.

Aimed at competitive drivers, the Serpent Viper 977 WC Limited Edition delivers a flexible, high-spec platform for on-track development and race setups based on a world champion's choices.

This is a competition-level kit and assembly requires experience with 1/8 scale components. Novices may want to build with guidance or seek a simpler model first.
Use a high-torque, fast-response servo designed for 1/8 on-road racing to ensure precise steering under load and to make the most of the adjustable geometry.
Start with neutral camber and toe settings, centre the weight distribution, and run progressive adjustments to springs and damping based on lap feedback. Log changes to replicate successful settings.
Many aftermarket parts for 1/8 on-road racing will fit, but verify compatibility and mounting locations before fitting upgraded components to maintain proper geometry and balance.
