I have to find the header card for it... the belt is the 501mm one, my mistype. I have run the white ones, with no problem, but others like Randy said, had issues with it flipping. Both the belts for the 415 work in a pinch, front and back...

Randy-Sorry for the late response..I was out of town. The stock belts are too short. You need to use longer front and rear to get the 18 tooth pulleys on.

Works GREAT!!!

Serpent axle works fine with the Tamiya parts.

Anti-roll bar locations on wishbones: what effect will using sway bar on the inner position(closest to chasis) vs using the outer hole position(closest to tires)?

Also, will using the narrower front clamping wheel hex hubs, like SER401129, which are -.5mm hubs, thus narrowing the front track width, this should in theory increase front reactiveness, over-all steering, and corner entry?

I'd like to use a narrower front track width: FF susp bracket 2.0, and FR to 0 deg...which tamiya TRF suspension brackets will give me that combo?

Talking

Yohan- We already covered most of those subjects on the phone but the suspension brackets you can get from Serpent direct. They have optional ones in .5 increments.

See you wednesday night. Let's see who else we can convert!!

Yep...Serpent Set-up Support just a call away

I'll call Serpent USA and see what they got

I'll be over at the shop picking up my Serpent S400 stash around 6pm and off to the track. I'll try to get Alfonso's tire warmers, too.
