The orings is probably in a bag. Just look for it. I had the same problem and after searching I found it around a screw. I think others had the same problem. As far as the diff goes it depends on what you consider not feeling great. The diff needs to be pretty tight. Even with the stock diff I break every diff in the way b fast recommends. The stock diff should last a while.

Diff
Loosen a touch, after bench break in you can tighten up a touch

Thanks ya'all. I went ahead and assembled the diff without the O-ring so hopefully its not needed and the diff will function without it. After loosening the diff a bit it seems good now. The decision to Buy the Serpent was mainly based on the fact that Losi 22 buggy diff was always crunchy even after a fresh rebuild.
Tony Montana- Do you race at Mimis? If so what springs/setup is working for you on your spyder mm?

Anybody have any luck running a bladder in the shocks instead of the emulsion style? I have a defective shock cap, and probably won't have a replacement in time for racing next week, so I'll have to throw some bladders in so they won't leak all the oil out. Just wondering how I should change oils/springs to compensate.

My Spyder MM should arrive today. Have the day off from work tomorrow to build.
Anyone have a starting point for gearing a 13.5 on a smallish indoor clay track?

So, haven't really run my mm buggy all summer, but the indoor season is right around the corner. What is the current popular setup for low to medium grip, smaller indoor tracks? Track I run at, we usually ran M4 Ion rear tires, and M3 Ion or scrub front tires. At least we did last season. This year, I think M4 electron rears and electron or transistor front are gonna work well.

I believe it sits upright towards the bottom of the bulkhead, below where the tranny bolts to the bulkhead, with the pointed end down. I could be wrong because i have never used one. Here is a pic of the bulkhead. Do you see the single mounting hole towards the bottom? Thats where it goes but the opposite side.
