Serpent introduces the Spyder SRX2 1/0 buggy in MH version . Serpent designer Billy Easton, former 1/10 scale 2wd World Champion, and the designer of the successful Cobra 1/8 series and Spyder 1/10 series of cars, has created this next masterpiece.
The SRX2 MH kit is basically a 2 in 1 car, as Serpent offers 2 type of transmission in the kit to choose from.
1 x 3-gear upright transmission for low to medium traction = LMT
1 x 3-gear laydown transmission for medium to high traction = MHT
The Spyder SRX2 LMT ( low –medium traction) will perform best at low grip and medium traction tracks like grass, sand and clay. ( For super low traction Serpent offers the Spyder SRX2 Rear Motor kit).
The Spyder SRX2 MHT ( medium –high-traction) will perform best at medium to high traction tracks like carpet, astro and high grip clay.

The SRX2 MH kit is basically a 2 in 1 car, as Serpent offers 2 type of transmission in the kit to choose from. 1 x 3-gear upright transmission for low to medium traction = LMT 1 x 3-gear laydown transmission for medium to high traction = MHT Serpent offers some upgrade sets to fit a 4 gear upright transmission system, or a 4 gear laydown transmission as well.
Composite front and rear shock towers. The shock towers have multiple shock angle positions allowing drivers to fine-tune for varying track conditions. The optional carbon versions allow for some extra stiffness to help with overall grip.
Dual system 12mm big bore shocks with coated threaded bodies, a unique cap design, a superbly sealing o-ring and spacer package. The shocks can be used in bladder or emulsion setups. The shock-set comes with a set of moulded pistons to choose from. A selection of 5 springs-sets is available to fine-tune the suspension settings. Shock collars with inner o-rings are used on the threaded bodies to set-ride height.
The front upper bulkhead is strong and supports the upper links and shock tower in the best possible way. The front section offers the option to mount a front wing and sway bar unit
The wishbones are made from a super strong composite material. The gullwing arms to optimize the CG and pivot on 3mm captured pins on the inside and out. The arms have 2 mounting positions for shock angle and are prepared to use an optional anti-roll bar if needed. Optional hard suspension arms are available.
Spring steel front and rear trackrods are mounted to durable composite ball joints. The trackrods have L/R threading for easy adjustments.
Caster block inserts come as 0, 2.5 and 5 degree version all of which are included. The caster blocks are very compact and strong units made from a special composite material.
The steering blocks fit 5x10x4 mm bearings. The rear hub uprights use a larger 5x14x4 outer bearing and 10x15x4 mm inner for ultimate lasting performance. The steering blocks and rear uprights utilize some of the best high strength materials on the market today.
The rear uprights allow you to adjust, the toe in from -2 to + 2 degrees by use of various inserts also included in the kit.
The steering system has a reverse swinging pivot system that optimizes the efficiency through all different types of corners. You have 3 Ackermann choices.
The spring steel wheel-axles utilized 12mm hex adapter to follow current market standards. The front springs steel axle is fixed, while the rear wheel-hex is a clamping aluminum version.
The battery is mounted perfectly in the center line of the car. In case of using a Shorty-pack, it can be moved to front or back to play with weight balance. Pieces of hard foam are supplied to do so and secure the battery in position. The carbon fibre battery-top-brace has a secure quick release system with handy twist nuts and acts as a chassis stiffener too. The flex can be influenced by using 2 small grubscrews. When using the upright transmission, the Shorty can also be mounted longtudinal .

The motor plate is a machined aluminium; it is then anodized and machined for weight reduction.
Durable moulded rear case to mount the rear suspension and the rear wing mount.
The spring steel drive shafts are thin and light, yet durable. The spring steel wheel-axles are 5mm, light and durable, guided by the 2 different size of bearings, inner 10x14x4 mm and outer 5x13x4 mm. The driveshaft pin is fully captured to prevent any failure. These bearings are for sure to stand up the rigors of any track condition.
Body shell and rear wing
The light and low cab-forward style body, made in top quality clear polycarbonate, has a nice flowing line, steep front windscreen for down force with indents in the section in front of the windscreen.
