Overview of the Viper 988-e Touring Car

The Serpent 904004 Viper 988-e is a 1/8 scale electric touring car designed with competitive handling and adjustability in mind. Its layout and build quality support precise setup changes for lap time improvements.

Chassis Engineering and Weight Distribution

The Viper 988-e features a 4mm aluminium chassis that balances stiffness against mass. The symmetrical layout promotes even weight distribution, and the carbon twin top deck adds torsional strength where it benefits cornering stability.

Drivetrain Layout and Suspension Features

The 2-belt transmission is configured for efficient power transfer and compact packaging. A centrally mounted mid shaft with large ball bearings reduces friction, while the adjustable suspension enables a range of steering and handling setups.

Maintenance Access and Upgrade Routes

Routine maintenance is straightforward thanks to accessible service points for spur gear swaps and inspections. The modular construction also makes it easy to fit upgraded parts as driver requirements evolve.
