1/10 SCALE ELECTRIC TOURING CAR

INTRODUCTION
Serpent enters the small scale competition market with
the S240, which like all our previous cars, has been
designed to perform straight from the box. Made using
top quality materials throughout, the S240 should see
you in the winners circle in no time. In fact everything
associated with this car is of the highest quality, from
the packaging and supplied manuals, right through to the
product and race support.
INSTRUCTIONS
Serpent’s long tradition of excellence extends to their
instruction manuals, and this instruction manual is no
exception. The easy-to-follow layout is richly illustrated
with 3D-rendered full-color images to make your building
experience quick and easy. Following the instructions
will result in a well-built, high-performance racecar
that will soon be able to unleash its full potential at the
racetrack.
