Yep. Looks really nice,  I have read its really light!  You have to add the brass inserts into the chasis to make the new european minimum weight.   Other then that it looks more like an evolution of the 733, rather then a complete re-design.   the front end looks like a 1/8th front end.

I just wonder how the parts compatability will be with the 733.

From what i can tell the bearing may be compatable to the 733 and the gas tank.lol

I thought the front looks like the 710 atleast the front upper arms. And it looks like they finally came out with new spur gear design! I wonder if the centax is new or the same. I would hate to hit anything too hard that chassis doesnt look very strong!

The new clutch is basicly a WC clutch, with a different compound for the shoe.  Couldnt see any other difference.

The car uses the new SL6 gears which you can put onto the 733 if you want.... So now serpent has 3 types of gears LC, WC, and SL6.
