Serpent 426 Outlaw RTR 1:7 4WD EP

Best known for its pioneering development of the F1 of RC Racing, 1:8 Onroad – their latest Viper 990R due for release shortly, Serpent has entered the big scale RTR market with the release of their 426 Outlaw 1:7 Electric RTR. Inspired by the iconic American muscle cars of the 60s, Serpent say the 426 Outlaw combines raw retro attitude with cutting-edge engineering to deliver a street machine that’s as fierce as it is fast. Powered by a brutal 6S brushless system, built on a race-bred platform, and dressed in wide body aggression, the Outlaw is designed for high-speed domination — whether you’re street bashing, drag racing, or just turning heads at full throttle. With its wide body Lexan shell, super grip tires, and hood-mounted supercharger, the Outlaw is a visual callback to the golden era of Detroit muscle — but it’s built with modern performance in mind. It’s aerodynamically tested underbody and high-efficiency rear diffuser deliver the high-speed stability you need when drag racing or street shredding. Customise the look with optional hood scoop variations — including a matte black classic scoop or a stacked manifold intake — to dial in your vibe and make your outlaw truly your own. The 426 Outlaw is more than just Serpent’s street entry, it’s a full-scale rebellion in 1:7 scale.
