Any one have any experience with this truck it looks solid been considering an arrma since that seems to be so popular now days but this serpent looks much more solid and race worthy if I ever decide to start doing that. Thing is I’ve never herd of serpent anyone know if there solid company?

Serpent is definitely going to be higher quality, they have been around way longer than ARRMA, I have never owned either brand but I have seen both brands ran locally at the tracks in my area. ARRMA's main weak point are their shocks are notorious for leaking, there are cheap easy fixes by replacing the rubber seals, however there are limited upgrades as their race grade equivalent sister brand (Durango) was shut down a couple years ago. The RTR from Serpent has reduced costs by replacing some aluminum/carbon parts with plastic, but you do have the option to upgrade those parts later if you want. I personally would go with Serpent over ARRMA as my personal preference, but I wouldn't hesitate on recommending the ARRMA either, you can't go wrong with either choice, each has it's own strengths.
