So i have an SF2 which uses those pieces and it would make sense that would be the method to change track width. Except those pieces are all the same length. So what is the method for changing track width? I assume wide is stock as that is what the default setup sheet shows, but are there other lower arms and upper plate that have not been released?

I think however the SF4 kit width is optimal - it has worked for me with any tires...

Seems optimal for me too running the Shimizu/TCS/CRC tires.

me I buy wider arms kit from Rc Carbonstore and its perfect for my SF4 on crc black carpet + volante green front and red rear
SF4 +4.5mm total or SF3 +12mm upper and lower plate
and
SF4 + 2.5mm upper and lower plate
I use the +4.5 when i use volante and +2.5 when i use gravity ( ride ) tire

To change the front width you need to change the lower arm(s) and the plate connecting the upper arms. You are right - the setup sheet shows the three widths but Serpent does not offer the related optional parts. I think the kit setup is the the MID, the SF3 lower arm and upper plate is Narrow and there is no option for wide (I may be wrong - it is not explicitly said anywhere). I believe the wider than the SF4 kit option is useful only when you run front Volante tires.

I should have known better to check the SF3 parts list sooner. While checking for available parts after I bought my 4X Pro, some of the optional parts are still just listed as Evo parts. 🤦🏻
Anyway, I really do like the possibility of picking this up as a 2nd class to run after my 4X Pro. 🙂 They look like they’re fun to drive after seeing several of the ETS Formula races the past few months.

I did notice while browsing SF3 parts that there is a “wide” front suspension set (SER411386), so if the SF4 shares the same mounting pointss as the SF3 (which it looks like it does), and that “wide” kit is not just the SF4’s front suspension repackaged, that could be the 3rd, widest available option?

In the setup sheets I have seen noone had used different kinpin inserts than the 0 degree one. I can highely recomment testing them. My car is currently with the 3 degrees inserts and tamiya silver front springs. With the original main and side springs and dumping it is amazing on asphalt! A lot of steering without been unstable and great corner speed with Ride GR tires.

Is there anywhere I can buy the carbon axle online please? (many have listed on their web store, but none has it in stock)
Thank you.
Thank you.

So the Serpent manual shows that inline battery is for high traction and transverse is for low traction. The understanding F1 tuning thread states the opposite, that inline is for low traction. I feel like there is a level of confusion as some people consider low traction as the car pushing and others consider low traction as the rear end sliding out but i really do not know. Thoughts? Anyone running this car on low traction Asphalt? Changing the battery configuration is a bit more difficult of an at-the-track change. Most of the setup sheets seem to be inline.

I bought the Montech F1 18 body and was sad to find out that the body doesn't fit over the front part of the chassis as the body is just not wide enough. There are Facebook pictures on F1RC showing how they cut the body but it just doesn't look right to me. Such a disappointment...

Try the j concepts.body, tons of room, plenty wide. Also Bitty design bodies rock.
