A conventional suspension needs to work with a rollcenter/camberrise to prevent the wheels will get positive camber (you can see it on page 2 of that site). The disadvantage is that in a corner the outside wheel wil stay on 0 degrees camber but the inside wheel will get a lot of negative camber and so it does not help with making grip.
DAX/DLS is nothing more than a variable length on the upper suspension arm determed by the height and roll of the chassis no matter what the chassis does it will keep both wheels straight due the variable camber. With both wheels straight on the surface in a corner the inner wheel is also making grip....

Due the connection left/right there are pushing and pulling forces on the L/R connecting rods so you will have an anti rollbar.

ok, i think i understood the thing. i also made a mistake with inner and outer wheel, i just edited it.

But, the anti roll bar doesnt tend to tranfer force from the outer wheel to the inner in a manner that increasing the negative camber on the inner wheel? and the dax suspension doesnt do the opossite?

putting an NT1 front bumper on is possible, but the chassis must be dremelled a bit to get it on, just be careful when you are doing it as outside holes dont line up properly with the xray lower bumper mount, so modification is required there aswell. finally the xray bumper top plate must be cut back just so it sits flush with the bulkheads. it feels ultra solid once its on there.

I am very very happy with my 733 i have only had to change one front bumper and the was because I tried to do a in side move on another racer and he shut the door on me.

If you usually run 3 degree camber , what degree camber will you use with this DAX/DLS system?

The new bumpers are very flexable and made from a less brittle plastic which you can bend almost in the shape of a U without breaking it.

Zerro degree is in theory possible but you have to be aware that there is still a chance the inside wheel in a corner can be lifted, if that hapens the outside wheel will loose the 0 degree camber so a 0.5 to 1 degree is wise to try but I can not tell how Serpent did set it up and is using it.
We also noticed that a camberrise (rollcenter) of about 0.5 degree does help a bit.

Hi all,

I have, like many others, gotten the kit with the hole in the fly weights drilled in the wrong end. Some have said that they can be used like this, but I am having trouble getting the clutch to engage. I have even reduces the spring tension from the 1.2 mm it states in the manual to about 0.2. It still does not engage, not even at close to full throttle.

Have any of you had this problem?

Anyway, I am having trouble getting a new set of flyweights from my dealer. (I thought that since this is a Serpent manufacturing error, that I would easily get new ones.. but apparently not )

So, I was thinking of simply making new ones myself, using PEEK material.
Does any of you happen to have the measurements of the fly weights? If any of you have that, I can go and make some right now.

Regards,
Serpent fan

PM me your address, i will send you a set. dont stuff around, get the right ones. it is an issue, and the AU dealer (Walters) sorted mine out, got to love that

Serpent fan

Thanks Pattojnr, I really appreciate it.

I didn't think I would get a replacement set, so I'm really grateful that you are willing to supply one Now I don't have to custom make some. Hehe.

Thanks again for excellent customer service!!

hi guys has anyone else look close at therear of some of the 733 . 2speed blocks are changed and the rear bearing blocks are changed tieing them together at the top now.

captian

red rc has some good pics of the new parts at the WC

hey guys what are the effects of the different positions of the ackerman of the car? excuse spelling

gfilos

less ackerman= rods are more angled, meaning less difference in
angles between inside and outside wheel when turning, is better
when you are facing off-throttle push at mid corner while having good
on throttle steering. Configuration: servo saver holes forward

more ackerman = rods are less angled, meaning bigger difference in
angles between inside and outside wheel when turning, is better
when you are facing on-throttle push while car steers good of-throttle
Configuration: servo saver holes back

Its all about on/off throttle steering. I think ackerman is a fine-tune setting.

thanks man
