The NitroGang is doing a test and tune on this Serpent Viper 989, a 1/8 nitro on-road pan style car with an Italian made Novarossi engine. These are the highest spec nitro kits you could buy in this class. It's a real IFMAR world racing class and has been around for decades. This model is running a .21 big-block Novarossi motor and full exhaust.

I was really impressed with how the body mount takes the downforce without pushing down the suspension. I have never really been into on road rc but I might have to pick up a on road nitro. Prolly not one that is 800 dollars tho 😂

hey man! Welcome the Serpent NitroGang!! You got some high level nitro on-road goodness in the works. The most amount of work is adjusting the 2-speed and the clutch mechanism in these, requires some trial and error for them to engage correctly. Also some minor advice, apply some aluminum HVAC tape to the open areas of the chassis on the bottom, this really helps keep many of the road pebbles out of the belt drivetrain.

I just did not edit this one for about a month. The top speed we got on this serpent was 61 MPH and we knew the second gear was engaging.

I have an xray rx8 its also a 1/8 onroad. It fast around corners. The technique is of driving it is only use brakes in The straights before cornering, not while you’re driving in the corners. The handling characteristics of these cars are very twitchy, its not something You would recomend for a beginner. I actually had an old 1/8 nitro Picco integra as my starter car, and that gave me A LOT of headache. These cars are fun. But you need proper roads for it, but you can turn it into a basher or a practice car by covering holes in The underside with lexan. The rear Drivebelt is most prone to pebbles as that almost killed The only remaining belt of my old Picco Integra.

Hey my man I was thinking of buying a nitro any reccomendations for a newbie beginner I know all the procedures AA batteries At least 16 to 20% Nitro Put first for AA batteries in Try working it and see if everything works (Steering) Also buy an average starter pack Put fuel in to fuel bottle then open the lid of the petrol container and pour in till full or nearly full.open the side up a little bit pressure the straw to get the fuel to go. Apply glow stick to glow plug if it lights up red then it’s fine.(Font Touch). Apply more pressure with your mouth for fuel to get to engine.open carbonater opened a little bit push glow plug into engine starter and pull the string to try and start the engine. Too much fuel means the string will be to tight and you will have to unscrew. Then pull the string so the oil will come out and you can clear the engine you can also put a cloth on there and it will be directly spat out onto the cloth. Then put the glowplug back in. Make sure it’s a little bit open to get it started as it’s easier. Keep the car running for at least two tanks of fuel with a fan blowing at it so it doesn’t over heat this is called the first and the second run. On the third run push it to full throttle on the floor for about no more than 1 second after 4-5 tanks of fuel you can hit the gas. You may only need to tune once. Normally fine out of the box just the idle mixture that needs to be adjusted. If it dies then it’s too lean so you turn the other screw. Anti clockwise leans it clockwise richens it. You should do the idle first. Only adjusted abou 1/8th of a turn at a time. Batteries should only last for 1/2 hours at a time if the batteries die the car won’t stop and will crash into something causing major damage. Cleaning Use after run oil means your engine will be looked after properly. Remove your nitro engine glow plug Add about 3-5 drops of after run oil then pull on your nitro engine pull starter then place in your glow plug. Remember to maintain and clean your RC model keeping it clean will mean it will have a longer life. The less dirt you have on it the more performance you will get always clean your vehicle after every running time take a cloth and clean your RC veichle. On the nitro engine you will see an air filter all nitro engines have an air filter the air filter will remove any dust or dirt in the air that goes into your engine after every hour of running time is firstly remove your air filter secondly remove the sponges from your air filter thirdly wash your air filter and your sponges then apply some air filter oil to the top and lastly replace your air filter. Next you can check if all the screws on your RC car are tightened and bolted on correctly and finally have fun with your veichles. Before you run your car you should always check your electronics when you turn on the vehicle all three lights should sign if just the green and the red ones shine you can still play if just the red shines don’t play that means low battery. The radio The steering trim knob and the the steering dual rate knob shown by the st.d/R Steering trim does the way the vehicle tracks steering dual point is an endpoint adjustment for your steering it’ll control how much throw your steering has both left and right the more you dial up the more steering you have the more you dial it down the less steering you’ll have which will be good on high speed manoeuvres so you’ll have a little bit less error when your up on speed. You have a steering servo that’s a channel one and the throttle is channel 2 third channel is used for accessories

Oh hey my dude, thanks so much for watching. Really appreciate your support and I also run both nitro and electric. It really comes down to what you prefer the most, at this point my channel is mostly dedicated to nitro RC's. Check out some of my newer vids, they will blow you away!!.

hey bro!! Great engine you got!! You can use the fuel you're going to run in it later. Thats the best bet, theres alot of theories on what's better, but this is the most common. This serpent in the video was running 25% Byron fuel. I would go with no more than 25%. Its a good all around nitro content fuel. NitroGang is going strong, we got another one!!

sup BRO! Yup, the Tires take a beating, but in races they replace them during every heat, they are considered disposable just like on real F1 race cars. Engines are also run with the minimal oil content and lean, so they pretty much only do a couple races at best.

Ok. Where too start. If you add and a stinger too the outlet you drastically change the tune of the motor. You should run without it too get the full use of your tune pipe. Did not see you run the motor in. The gearbox will only start shifting correctly when the top end is leaned out (that is if you put it together correctly) Excellent brand Serpent. Had a few myself. The way you ran that Ison, in my experience, you have already destroyed a R7000.00 motor(south african rand). Good luck and stop posting things like this that teach people the incorrect way too do things. Leave that too the people who know what they are doing. THE PROFESSIONALS. Thank you.

Fail! shifting is adjusted from a hole in the flywheel, NO NEED TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSIONN *Pay attention to one or two holes in the spur gear aluminum plate, align w the hole in the two black shoes to adjust spring tension! And yes, it is like a HPI or any other 2-speed transmission, nothing Ferrari about it, the clutch, that is another deal, a pain to set right, but you did not work on the clutch so does not pertain to your fail troubleshooting and comments.

You need air-filter-oil before and after-run-oil after you ran it and then all the oil runs out the exhaus.ts too dirty for me and with the insane power of brushless-motors it is not for me anymore. But what a beautiful model you have there.

You would be surprised. If you are just making speed runs and don't tune, sure. Start running more than back and forth passes, and get on a track, and you would surprised how hard it is to get an electric to perform at the level these do, nevermind that you can refill in seconds and run an hour long race with minimal downtime. We have been playing with a lot of electrics on a local track and finally gave up, the nitros were actually less of a headache if you wanted to drive fast and a lot.
