Serpent is proud to have signed young Off-road driver Jose Sales from Spain to our factory team!

This is what he has to say about joining the team:

Since I started in the world of RC racing at the age of six, I've always raced Serpent chassis, and they've been a key part of achieving good results, it's an honor for me to now join the official SRX8 team!

Best regards,
Jose Sales

The wait is over, the Serpent 426 Outlaw is Shipping!!

Born from Serpent’s precision racing heritage and forged for asphalt warfare, the 426 Outlaw is a street-shredding machine built to dominate with 6S brushless power, wide-body muscle, and pure outlaw attitude. This beast doesn’t just run like a muscle car — it looks and screams like one too. Whether you’re bashing for fun or a die-hard street racer, ready to own the asphalt, the all-new 426 Outlaw is built to get the job done — hard and fast. Powered by serious 6S brushless muscle and wrapped in a 1/7 scale wide-body inspired by the legendary machines of the golden era, the Outlaw brings raw ’60s aggression and race-proven performance all wrapped into one fierce package for the modern day RC street racing scene. From heart-stopping-launches that shake the pavement to high-speed drag runs, the 426 Outlaw tears through the streets with flared fenders, massive rear wing, supercharger, and a street-splitting stance that demands respect. Whether you’re tearing up your local parking lot or pushing the limits in a street race, this machine is your ticket to total domination. With Serpent’s racing heritage under the hood and outlaw attitude on every corner, the 426 Outlaw isn’t just another RC car — it’s a full-scale rebellion that challenges the status quo and leaves competitors in the dust. When the streets demand a rebel, the 426 Outlaw answers the call: no rules, no mercy.

On the last weekend of June we had the 3rd round of National Championship 1/8 On Road at Vigo here in Galicia. This is a very special track for me, not really my hometrack but as if it were! A very beautiful one in front of the sea and where I have beautiful memories and this race it is sure my big moment there because it is the second Spanish Championship for me!

This season started really nice with two wins in the first race at Valladolid and then at the second one at Getafe, Madrid. So, we had the possibility to win the championship here at home as our Spanish Championship consist in 4 Races counting 3 results. We planned the race as a one more trying to race as always and not thinking in the possibility of the National Title (not easy to be honest...). We arrived on Friday and free practice was good but we was not fast as we wanted. Nacho López and Victor Pelaez was on the podium also in the two previous races and was really fast too.

On saturday on qualifying I think we found and extra in the setup of our Serpent 990 EVO and we got a fast and easy to drive car! May be even better a little more steering but we was really fast making 14 laps on qualy and Pole Position for Sunday Race.

On Sunday with a revised car for the race, we found on the finalists free practice that the car was really fast and our engine was also amazing! In training we went under 18 seconds per lap for the first time and it really surprised us as the car was super fast and easy to drive at the same time. Then in the final we maintained the first position at the start with a two tyre-change strategy like I think the other pilots. At the begining we fight with Nacho but he suffered a problem about min 16 so the rest of the final we only needed to watch Victor´s tyre strategy and lap times and at the end save tyres to the end can take the finish line in 1st position!

So, after some years fighting with these really fast drivers we got it back this year with 3 TQ and 3 Wins!

I am really happy to get this second Spanish Championship with Serpent, our brand for many years! Congratulations also to my Team mates Sergio Rivas (P5 in A-Main Final) and Alberto Cruces (winner of the B Final). Also congratulations to all Team Serpent drivers there at Vigo and all the pilots and friends for all the congratulations received and for the great atmosphere in this category.

Thank you Serpent!

See you at Halifax UK in August for EC Championship!

The 2025 KO Propo is now done and what an event it was. Thanks to Robert Morris and Brian Thomas for putting this event together for all of us.
In this event I ran 2 classesÂ… Nitro Sedan and Nitro Gt.
In GT I had bad luck in qualifying but I was able to get it together ending with the Win and the fastest lap of the whole event in the class.
My Serpent SRX8 2023 GT powered by a Gimar Venus GT and the new Pipe that will be released next week was on rails in the final.

In Nitro Sedan I had a really good and fast car from the get go. I was able to qualify 2nd.
In the Final I had a Flame out that put me behind, having to push hard to claim back to 3rd overall.
My Serpent Natrix 750 Evo was ballistic fast all week thanks to all the help from my little brother and teammate Bryce Butterfield.

To all the crew members from the Homestead RC Raceway you guys killed!!!!
The track is what we always dreamed of. Every little detail was covered and I'm super happy to see what you guys have accomplished. Thank YOU!!!

Together with world-class driver Dominic Greiner, we took a close look at the X20. No stone has been left unturned; we improved every single detail that we believed would make a difference.
We enhanced the flex characteristics, optimized the geometry, improved the shock geometry, lowered the centre of gravity, and, last but not least, increased reliability—these were all part of the revolution.

The Serpent Mini Spyder RTR is a small 1/24 ep buggy made of super elastic plastic to absorb shocks well, high-grip off-road wheels and equipped with the finest technology, the vehicle leaves nothing to be desired. The coreless motor accelerates the RC car up to 20km/h. If this is too fast for you in the living room or children's room, you can also reduce the speed thanks to a rotary control nub. Throttle/brake and steering commands are sensitively implemented in full proportion by the 2.4GHz remote control. Due to the modern transmission system, several vehicles can of course be driven at the same time. So nothing stands in the way of the mini Grand Prix at home!

Arriving in Xiamen, China at 1am on Wednesday it was a quick few hours sleep at the hotel before making the way to the ever impressive 3 Circles / Sunpadow Facility. Having been here in 2019 I quickly remembered being shocked on just how enormous this place was! RC HEAVEN.
Being quite unique this event offers to run EP TC and IC on the same track (different layouts). Deciding to run both Modified TC and 1/8 GP I knew it was going to be busy.. I may have underestimated just how busy..

Without much experience and knowledge yet with our new Serpent X20 Â’24 I decided to concentrate a bit more in practice on finding some setups. Learning a lot along the way with my EP driving style, tyre management and setup we managed to qualify 5th for the main.

I was content with this, knowing we had to find some more pace without overheating the front tyres we continued to work with the car, making some big setup changes in all 3 finals made it a little hard to be confident to push, this plus some mistakes on my part resulted in a 7th place final position.
The Serpent 990 EVO was dialed from the moment we hit the track! Needing to add 100 grams to bring the car up to the events 2450g weight limit made the balance and feel change a lot.
Trying some different body positions and tuning options to make the car more consistent I was able to put it on TQ in round one. Using the rocket round system the time set was not challenged for the remaining rounds of qualy, giving us the overall TQ .

The Amain couldnÂ’t have gone any smoother, for 1/8 GP racing its not very often you can run 45 minutes without any problems. Tyre wear was quite high, planning for a 2 stop strategy changed into being able to manage the front tyre with a slightly slower pace resulting in only needing a single tyre change, our team Justin and Danny did an amazing job in the pits to get the car in and out with no fuss.
Leading from start to finish we were able to take the win 3 laps in front of our nearest competitor!

I would like to thank all the race officials and volunteers along with Sunpadow management for providing a very professionally run and super fun event! I would highly recommend attending in years to come!

Also our Serpent family for working together and enjoying RC!
It wouldnÂ’t be possible for these results without the support of many people and companies.

This is what Dominic had to say about it:

I´m very happy to join back to my family Serpent and very excited to use and help the team with the X20/24.
As I decided to stop nitro I thought electric is the best option I have, and as I saw the first pictures from the new 1:10 electric car it was an easy decision to use Serpent.
I´m pretty sure the car has a lot of potential, could test it already indoors on the carpet and was very surprised and happy about the performance.
I want to thank Joaquin and Mr. Lau for the warm welcome back.

We arrived at the track on Friday afternoon due to some problems during the journey. As soon as we got on the track we immediately found an excellent feeling with the car. After the checks on Saturday we were in fifth position, just before qualifying we changed the front springs from blue serpent to 8.0 smj, the car became faster and we managed to gain third place after qualifying.

We started the race very calmly, and after 45 minutes we managed to achieve a fantastic second place. I thank the entire Serpent team for their continued support, see you on the track.

The 2023 GLC is in the books and what an event it was!!!

I ran Two classes being Nitro GT8 and Nitro Sedan. After having issues in both classes i managed to qualify 2nd in GT behind my Teammate Carlie Lopez and 6th in the Nitro Sedan Class.

In the GT8 Nitro main i was able to take the Win after having to push hard to recover from a 5 laps down. The luck was in my side this time because my teammates Carlie Lopez and Junior Riley both had issues giving me the opportunity to catch both of em and taking not only the Win but also the Track Record. (17.884)
The SRX8 GT '23 Car was ballistic fast all week and the Serpent team swept the GT8 Class.

In the Nitro Sedan after battling the Track conditions I was able to find a decent set up and made the A Main. In the Final i was able to go up the ladder putting myself in a good 2nd position for the majority of the race until the tire change in which i came out in 3rd with good possibilities of winning the race but i ran out of gas.
In the end I finished 5th!
