Serpent confirmed that they have a new 1:10 nitro touring car on the way and have released some information about the successor of their 720.* On Wednesday professional Dutch driver Jilles Groskamp tested the car which is currently being referred to as the 7XX at the MACH track in the Netherlands.* Also on hand for the test was the car’s chief designer Michael Salven, who we understand recently tested the car himself in Asia. Serpent say the 7XX is a completely new concept and uses only the 2-speed, Centax clutch and RCC shocks from the previous model and test-results are very good with only minor modifications being required to the prototype.* The aim of Salven with the new car is to focus more than ever on a user-friendly design, ease of assembly, maintenance and set-up, and a wider sweet spot.* The 7XX will undergo more rigorous and intensive testing in various parts of the world, by Serpent’s team drivers like Green, Mazzeo, Apolaro, Morganti, Sahashi and Groskamp, but also by a number national level drivers for whom Serpent say their feedback is just as important!** Serpent plan to officially unveil their new car in 2 months time and are confident that it will be as well received as their latest 1:8 chassis the 966. Red RC have heard that the 7XX will make its race debut at the up coming Bumod Grand Prix (http://www.redrc.net/2009/04/dj-apolaro-confirmed-for-bumod-gp/) with Groskamp and Apolaro set to use the Turkish event to get race mileage on the current prototype chassis.
