We always use it std (higher axle).

If you use the 18t optional pulley and the orange excenters, you can mount then in the low position without problems.

guys, how often do you strip belts (any of the 3)?
would you say 2 gallons a fair run time for any of the 3 belts?

720 '07 kit missing parts...
Hello to all! I've bough t a Serpent 720 '07 (#803005) and i've got a few parts missing in the kit.I list the missing parts:
-It does not came with the front CVD kit, instead it cames with normal dogbones
-front one way system as well the one way lock set to make it into a solid axle
-Bumper LeMans type
Does anyone have the same problem?? Anyway the quality looks great but especialy the CVD and the SPool as an extra where what makes me decide for this kit and not for any other brand.
Thanks in advance
Ricardo

Hello
You probably have a 720 kit, and not a 720 '07.

What color is your chassis? The '07 has a black chassis. I believe that is the most obvious clue.

I am sure they will and i'm not worried
Just want to know if this has happened to anyone here in the forum.
I've already emailed the shop were i've bought the kit to see what can they do.

using geaf diff
i'm using 3rd one way, i use the brakes quite a bit
i know its quite difficult to predict these. its just that i've had all the 3 belts now change right just before 2 gallons of run time. just wanted to know how you guys do on run time with the belts?

Spoiler Mounting
Hi Guys
Forgive the stupidity of the question but I have to ask
When the rear spoiler is mounted further away from the front of the car (as far back as possible) = the most amount of rear downforce? When the rear spoiler is mounted closer to the front of the car = least amount of rear down force?
The above is true for long sweeping corners. Does the above hold for quick tight corners (90 and 180 degree) type corners?
Thanks
Acid
