Whole will be for transponder, I'm new to braking in motor. But I have recently broke in some ad3 engines. With help. The way I was showed was, to leave the heater blanket on for the complete first 4 tanks. Doing heat cycles. I was told it will be 100°c just leave it on the head and heating. My motors have huge power and I'll never oil bath another engine. Get to the track! Enjoy
@@RazorRC RadioLink’s other radios looked like a DX3S as well, for the sake of science, if you still have the RC6GS around that you reviewed could you try pairing it to the serpent’s receiver?
The hole in the radio tray is for a transponder. The Serpent SRX8 is hands down the Best RTR on the Market. Novarosssi has allot of pinch and can take a bit of umph to get going the first few times. Yes I had to richen mine a bunch out of the box as well
@@RazorRC me either. And I'm a racer but not factory backed but I just seen it on amain for tha first time looks like alot of good. Stuff for a nitro RTR 1/8 scale. Buggy.
Next , please compare the Serpent to a Kyosho MP RTR, even an electric with just the chassis, diffs, and shocks compared ...and an overview of the included go fast bits...
hey Razor! This looks like the best RTR 1/8 nitro so far. Do you think this RTR will be on the top of the list over those other 3 you reviewed a short while ago?
@@RazorRC I'm strongly considering this over the Kyosho as my entry into 1/8 scale nitro buggies. Do you know if you can basically upgrade this to the pro version or is the pro version a totally different platform ? Would be greatful for your recommendation ! Thanks
Love the brand spread with the nitro buggies. Serpent has always looked intriguing
Serpent makes some quality stuff thats for sure
The cutout might be for transponder??
@@philthyco1 yup, you got it!
Dang really stepping up your rc content👍👍👍.
Nitro is Absolutely Epic ✌️😄

First! And nice race spec RTR! That is super rich on the needle settings lol! 😂
thanks, and yeah these engines need super rich just to idle during break-in. now all I need is someone to build a 1/8 track near me!
Why do I feel like the Dragon radio might be somehow related to Radiolink stuff
looks kind of like one, also looks kind of like the Spektrum STX2.

@@vivos71 science says it does not bind to my RC8X which is compatible with the RC6GS receivers.
@@RazorRC awe dang, thanks for taking the time to check though
can you get a back plate for these motors? or use a starter box?

does it have a Novarosssi engine?
@@Icanreadgood1 Yes
This is great for someone wanted to get right into 1/8th scale nitro racing. They would need a better TX and RX and a lap timer.
I’m getting one
The Serpent used to come with a Rossi. But not anymore. NovaRossi is done. I heard from another video that it is a Force based engine.
yeah, looks like Force. I heard NovaRossi is coming back as Nova engines, hope so! www.redrc.net/2022/06/introducing-nova-engines/
Nice video mate love the sdx4 iv got the electric one my flys over 70mph easily 👍😀
Hey u need to review the lrp Antix S8 rebel just seen it on amain
I hadn’t heard of this, thanks!

Any recommendations for a better radio?
I like the Flysky FSG7P for a relatively inexpensive radio.
I have the electric and nitro if this buggy. Both are great. I don't think it's a Nova engine. But it still runs great
Which one do you prefer? I was looking at the Electric version. Is 1/8th electric a popular class there or more 1/10?
The head is huge
Thats wat she said
Tires look like Calibers
