Serpent 811E RTR questions
Didn't want to clutter up the guys main 811e thread with RTR questions.
Was hoping serpent 811e rtr owners could chime in with your insight on what tweaks/upgrades if any need to be done to have this buggy running well?
I just received mine and ran it up and down the road a little and then it started raining.
For the RTR version, does anything need to be tightened, grub screws on shafts ect, or do they assemble it pretty well how it comes?
Just using the car for some fun bashing, nothing to serious, so just want to know any necessary tweaks, or certain parts that are worth getting extra's of?
thank you

Damn those body pins are brutal lol.
Beautiful car that's for sure, great job to the design team. I almost feel guilty bashing it...almost.

mate I had the rtr version was a great kit and I love it but you might wanna watch the pinion coming lose you have to re lock tight that and watch the two paice motor mount as it may keep moving from the spur and keep shifting no matter what you do it keep coming undone and move

This is true and I hope to at some point when time free's up....
In the mean time, I want to take this beast to the bmx track, which is very close and have some fun?!
BTW, would the tekin rx8 combo be faster than the current stock set up that came with the kit?

rc I agree with you there the 1850 was same speed as a tekin 1900 but different is one sensored and one not that's only thing reason why I got rid mine is I am going to get the 2.0

I'm old school and in and out of the hobby which will hopefully explain my ignorance.
- Stated back 20+ years ago with brush motors
- Got into nitro
- Got the first novak BL system, liked it more than brushed motors after constantly lathing/cutting my mods after almost every run. But it was a bit to slow.
- Missed almost the whole lipo battery explosion/evolution
- Too a long break and then about a year ago I decided I needed to come back but in a different less involved way, with an RTR thunder tiger mt4, which I LOVE and beat the hell out of.
- And now, just got this serpent RTR which seems pretty damn nice.
Money is not my limiting factor, its time I don't have much of, hence the rtr's and the ignorant BL noob questions.
I bet you didn't expect my lifes story in rc lol
Why not one of the more powerful tekin motors?

When I get my new 2.0 I am getting a 2050 Tekin motor for it

When will that be.
Appreciated. So what do I need to add, motor/esc wise to get it into the 45-50'sh range? Was still planning on using those two trinity 5600/90c packs.
Cars a blast though as is, I was just tearing around with it. I love me a nice quality design.
