Problem was that there was a parts delay with Serpent NL and he had to sell his 2 cars and his dads chassis to keep interested guys happy.
Slowly Serpent NL has been getting back inline with stock and finally the shipment is sent but still no gear diffs
Ive past on the info for using Tamiya axles etc... so the guys are not stranded.
Only one guy really had dog bone issues from hitting the pipes and also over tightening the diff screws.
We all are using the Tamiya diff screw and one piece diff thrust bearing.

Awesome to hear you got the car working so well. I had the same experience, first day I got it dialed. I basically went on the track with my own setup that I thought would work well, and after 2 packs I had a great setup and have been plenty competitive with it since then.

Is the S400 design for form or rubber?
I am looking for a new car for my upcoming indoor season. The car will be running on carpet with spec rubber tire (jaco green) Is the S400 the best car for my requirment (13.5 and 17.5) or should I look at the T2 008 EU spec? I always like the serpent chassis and I don't mind to be the odd man in our club.

Anyone try getting a 1.88 internal ratio on the S400?
THe 18T 3Racing layshaft pulleys for HB Cyclone, and Xray 34T diff pulleys. I know the 18T pulleys work, but not sure if Xray 34T Diff Pulleys work on the S400?

I think the Serpent is a 2.18 ratio- but I want to run 13.5 brushless, and would rather run a 1.88 ratio with the S400. I hope the Xray diff pulleys work on the S400...anyone try this yet?

If the Xray work, I'd rather use the 1.88...especially the cool labyrinth diff pulley from Xray which keeps the diff clean, untill we get those Gear Diffs in
I hope someone here can get hold of an Xray 34t pulley and try it on the S400 diff and see if it works ok and let us know ASAP.
