Remarks – Best of the Serpent drivers here in Aigen, Merlin Depta is running a 977 equipped with a pre-production version of the soon to be released “EVO” conversion kit. The new radio tray has a more open design and is now a single piece incorporating the flex system. The chassis is narrower at the front for a different flex characteristic and the new bumper features plastic inserts that can be removed to change the aerodynamics. The gearbox is also new and completely redesigned with a smaller module and reduced rotating mass, while the gearing range is now wider. In the rear end, the body mount is now stiffer and features an additional mounting position, while the wishbones allow for a narrower track width.
