Serpent 811E Buggy Thread

hey i got a great solution , i had the same prob when the mugen mbx 6 came out. buy a tube of Mobil synthetic grease ( advanced auto parts or any auto store has it) put grease on all the o-rings and washers that go in the drive cups and the washer that goes over the o-rings in the diff cup and alittle on the back side of the gasket. never had any leaks after, i did the same when i built my agama a8 evo . no leaks try it out lmk how it works for you

update, I ran the buggy in the garage earlier just for a couple of minutes and the drive train has become a little bit smoother, Like I said i built the diffs and pinions by the updated sheet that came with the kit

it takes a while to break them in fully. Did you decide to go to motorama?

im hoping, but since its a last minute thing im not sure. Have to talk the wife into letting me go lol, and see if my work will let me off friday. And that 105 dollar entry is pricey.

Main difference is the amount of steering and corner speeds. This layout had a sweeper at the end of the straight which i was able maintain speed and didn't lose traction.
Same setup as porkchops with the exception of shock set up.
8 hole conical piston (not drilled) fr/rr
30wt fr
27.5 rear
First time out with the car so I wanted more run time to get used to the handling characteristics. Next time out I plan on dropping the rear shock oil a bit and trying lighter 2.3 sway bars.
I believe someone took video of the Amain. If it gets posted, I will put it up here.

idk what was harder for me the sweeper or that stupid short dubble.
ron your car looked great in the main
kwang you get the hang of all the steering i think that was most of your traction issue.
kc i got there firday night and try tires and a few things i thought my set up was off so i changed a few things and thought maybe that was my issue but seems i was wrong.
i will be going back to my starting set up and the 2.3 front bar
