i'm a french customer,but i bought my 960 in USA(it's less expensive) and this week end i broke my shaft 2-speed...a lot of people know it's a serpent problem,many guys have this problem....
my problem is :
i didn't buy this car in France and i think RB(distributor serpent for France) will not do any guarantee ...
i buy it in USA but i don't know if serpent USA can do something for me....
can you help me,and tell me if some one can refund me for this axle ?
thank you

i bought a new shaft because i had a race last week end and the old broke on saturday,and the race was sunday...
i can contact RB(french distributor for serpent) but i think they won't do any garantee.....
thanks...it was the game and i lost
i had 2 choices
>1 i bought in another country to pay a little price but the garantee are 0
>2 i bought in France with a big price but with a little garantee....

You have to purschase the new back-bearingblocks, they come with 3 shaft bearings to reduce flex.

I also notice that the body mount is fixed rather than floating ( reduced unsprung mass ) - another trick to get handling on a bumpy track.
you are the first one who's noticed that.
congrats
And finally - nice MUGEN single piece brake disc in there - looks factory
there is not one part off a mugen/kyosho on my car :P

where did you read that? :P
An anti roll bar is great but when you need stability on a bumpy track the bar is like an undamped spring and passes resonant load acreoss the car.
Yours is one of the neatest solutions on a model car that I have seen.
How do you find it ?

I have a question for you guy's
Which way you guy's prefer the throttle servo, in the Laydown position or
up and why.
