my question now is , wat should i do if i encounter traction roll ?? wat setting should i need to apply on d car?? the track is very grip as the race organise will spray sugar treatment on the track before the race start.

thanks

The mono block mounts the Alpha with no problems. I pulled my C6 out & bolted the alpha straight in.

For all those having meshing issues, stick a .5 shim behind the flywheel cone, meshes perfectly & you can still get heaps of adjustment in clutch gap. I have done this & run .9 gap & still use shims.

You need to turn the carb to change the angle & then adjust the ball at the end of the slide. Its a bit fiddly to get right but you can run the car with a standard 5 cell flat pack. Lipos are a better option though & the AAA packs have a tendency to come apart with the vibrations.

Sounds like you may have a bad engine mount, if you contact your local Serpent importer I am sure they will sort it for you.

Just something else to try first, have you tried mounting the engine into the mount off the chassis? I have ground my mount down to give more clearance for adjusting mesh etc. It is possible your engine is twisting slightly because of the tight clearances.

just finished up the paint. , here it is

There are many things you can do to keep the car off it's lid. You are lucky that the problem is excessive grip rather than the reverse!
Here are a number of things you can do;
Small tires... Lowest ride height track surface will allow... Stiffer springs... Harder compound tires... Change roll centers (raise the inboard lower hinge pins to the highest location and shim the upper-front arm mounts upward)... Stiffer sway bar settings... Make sure the body is mounted as low as possible without significant tire contact... Reduce the number of holes in shock pistons, ie. if you have 4 hole pistons, go to 2 or 1...

I watched your video, and you were getting around quite well for your first run. However, I didn't see any signs of excess traction. Actually, it looked a bit loose. You had one flip near the end, that was induced by contact with the curb/berm. It looked as though your pit man is responsible for marshalling your car! Bummer, you lost a lot of time on those two crashes..
Keep it up!
Where is the track btw?
