Default Serpent Cobra 811-E Conversion

Just sharing pix of our Serpent Cobra 811-E buggy. Many thanks to my friend Don2 for his time and patience in making this happen.

Nice. The Serpent looks a whole lot like the Xray 808?

jetbill007 and BLbound: The Mugen EliteRC mount was not a direct fit. We had to make an adapter plate for it to line-up and bolt to the chassis properly. I even had to let go of the stock Serpent center diff and put in a Mugen center diff because the dog bone was coming loose on the diff's drive cups. I'll post new close-up pix of it. We also had to make front and rear chassis braces because of excessive chassis flex. We had to do this because the car weighed a LOT more than when it was running nitro. The chassis was moving more than we liked. All is well now and everything is holding up. (knock on wood).

Looks like you moved the center diff way over to the right side. How are the center CVD's holding up with that angle?
