Viper 990E Evo from Serpent - Precision Touring Performance

The Viper 990E Evo refines Serpent's touring car architecture to deliver a stable, tuneable platform for racers seeking predictable handling and quick setup changes. It builds on the 990E with practical enhancements aimed at lap time consistency.

Setup-Oriented Suspension and Stable Chassis Layout

Key suspension upgrades include removable carbon brackets on the shock mounts and a carbon downstop lever on the front arms, which together provide fine adjustment capability and repeatable downstop behaviour for consistent cornering response.

A very narrow chassis profile allows the battery to be mounted low, improving the centre of gravity, while three NACA ducts improve cooling for the ESC and motor. The lowered motor helps centralise mass and sharpens turn-in characteristics.

Shell Support Enhancements and Smooth Power Flow

The updated front bumper strengthens body shell support and refines frontal aerodynamics to reduce flex. The drivetrain remains robust and serviceable, with a mid-belt pulley and spur gear layout that ensures efficient power delivery under race conditions.

Versatile Adjustment Options for Different Tracks

The car offers multiple wheelbase settings and a rear arrangement that permits reactive toe adjustments, plus eccentric aluminium inserts for camber and roll centre tuning. These options allow detailed setup work to match grip levels and track types.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Power: Electric
  • Chassis: Ultra-narrow design with NACA ducts
  • Transmission: Easy-maintenance, bulletproof system
  • Suspension: Adjustable shock mounts, carbon downstop lever
  • Weight: Reduced by 10g

Ideal for drivers focused on setup and consistency, the Viper 990E Evo gives a compact, tuneable platform that responds predictably as you refine settings for race pace.

Begin with tyre selection and ride height, then set camber and toe using the eccentric inserts. From there, use shock position changes to refine mid-corner balance.
Basic hobby tools cover most maintenance, though calipers and a feeler gauge help when setting precise camber and ride height values at the track.
The transmission uses a proven, low-maintenance layout designed for durability; routine checks of belt condition and spur teeth will keep it running reliably.
Yes, lowering roll centre, adjusting camber, and choosing softer tyres are typical changes that make the Viper more forgiving on low-grip surfaces.
Common wear parts and upgrade items like carbon brackets and inserts are widely available, allowing you to refresh or upgrade the car as needed.
