I bought my car from RC-Mushroom, they will not replace the Tank if I don’t return it, I always by my spare from Serpent America or dealer in the US not this time I was too much excited to have the car, in Panama we have no dealer of Serpent. When you want to be the first in having a new product and when the change is as big as it is the 733 from 720, you now you have this possible situation, in my case been in a country without a dealer is even worth, but that is part of the cost of been first to have it.
I must say that even with my tank been broke (I fix it temporally), I am very happy with this car; I have no regret not even with the tank problem.
The improvement of the car compare to the 720 is big, I have put more than 25 tanks in the car (733) and every time I test it I am happier, I am using Dj, initial Set Up recommendation, in a Low traction technical Parking lot track, is working grate, my 720 is grate and I do have a very good set up, but it took a lot of time an work to have it, if a change a small part, the car (720) will change dramatically, not in the case of the 733, it takes small changes and the car (733) does small changes, so you can really play with the set up`, with no trauma.
You have to admit, that Serpent have rush to have this car out in to the market, this always creates problems, like Software’s there are always people who like to be the first one to play with it, and they are the ones who give recommendation to the company to fix bugs, same with this Hobby.
Look I will have to buy me tank, because RC-Musroom will not replace it, and I do not regret it a bit, I would had been unhappy in reading all the excellent comments people are talking about the car and not been part of it.
As I said in 3hobby, we Serpent lover have now a winner, here in Panama Kyoshoo and Mugen driver are really looking into the car.

i am havin same issue with them, how do u tell a customer send me the tank and wheni get it i send u new one, that is an almolst 1 month wait, like come on, and my reason from ordering there is, most US stores wont ship to canada, and from what i know and searched the web there isnt, so what choice do i have, found one guy yesterday that will ship, so now he get my business, i race off road truggy and always had serpent over the years, just a bad way to do business ithink, his lost no mine, he wont have anymore of my money, and from what i am readin sounds like a good car, hope its better then my 720 which i luv alot
I have well over $1000 on upgrades and spares for my 720... I'm considering selling it all and investing on 733 parts.

with the serpent 733
if I have a front DIFF oil 150,000 and rear 30,000
If I go higher in the rear will it make the car more lose in the back or less?

If you go heavier on the rear diff. It will give you more on power steering/rotation. In effect it will be more loose.

it does work. but you have to put the bevel facing the flywheel, which instead of sitting down to the right of the pins, they sit to the left. opposite direction to the manual. the bevel has to sit in the flywheel. try it. this so called fault, will save me some time in making them that direction anyway, so for me i like the small error, but yes the tanks are a huge problem. lets sort it out ASAP SERPENT...............
No major drama, we just used a new clutch shoe and cut them the right way.
