Default my LCG chassis review

yesterday i spent two tanks of fuel trying out the LCg chasis.
i didn't change any setting just the chassis.
few facts is, i can attack 2 of my usual slow corners more faster, and more throttle at where i usually half throt..
overall what i can say , feels so much better and more confident driving.

I am thinking of getting the lcg chassis, i need to find half a second per lap, on a high grip track. What i need is to find more corner speed & fast change of direction , will this be my answer ? or do i sell the car & buy kyosho!!

Default New Battery Tray - Brass

Hi Guys

Has anyone tried out the new brass battery tray for the 720?

If you have, does it make that much of a difference? How much heavier is it ?

Also, some guys have spoken about using the new tray and changing over to LiPo.. why? LiPo is lighter, that I know but with the new tray you are using more weight to keep the back planted...

Any thoughts on this?

Regards
Acid

Ok, I am using the Brass Battery Try, the reason I am using it is because I install a VXR LiPo Battery and I was able to lower the Tank about 3mm, to be able to take advantage of the effect in lowering the Tank I had to ad more weight because the LiPo is lighter than the regular Battery, the effect was very good.

Hope this will give you an idea, sorry poor my English

Thanks RCPANAMA.

One question, how do you lower the fuel tank on the 720?

Also, when said it was good, did you mean that rear of the car was more planted - better cornering?

Thanks

Ok the reason I was able to lower the tank was because de LiPo Battery is thinner than the original battery, which created the possibility of lowering the Tank.

It is correct the car was more planted with better cornering.

Default Serpent 720 '07

Hi,
I have the Serpent 720 ’07 brand new in the box. I wanted to get back into racing but I just do not have the time. I will sell for $375 plus ½ of shipping costs (you can pay the shipping after I send the item so I know how much it will cost--- probably $10 to $15 and I will split the shipping expense with you). You can email me at [email protected] or call me at 954-465-5395.

The car was good. In the main we ran in the dark and I can not race in the dark. I just keep it on the track and stayed out the way.
