What are the set screws for that go into the hubs ?
The holes are ment to be used for a clean out (remove the set screw).

So how does that work? clean out ? like with a spray in the hole to flush out bearings ?

Yes. Mugen has the same deal. You just spray WD-40 in the hole until the fluid comes out looking clear.

Yes but I personally won't do that. With sealed bearing you have no need for cleaning & blowing out. I'd rather, when the time came, take the bearings out and clean everything that way.

So are you guys cleaning your bearings like this regularly? Do they last as long?

Ive used the cleaing holes once, all they do is blow all the plastic dust from inside the hub into your bearing and destory them. Your better of justpulling them and cleaning them.

Any companies have plans for carbon fibre battery hold downs for the 811Be?

Ya, mainly for looks. Might have to get some graphite plate and make a mess cutting some out. :-)

M2C Racing Serpent S811 Front Shock Tower Bra
[M2C3701]
I have this M2C shock tower bra on mine and it does a nice job of protecting the CF towers.

I checked those out before I bought the nano techs but Jon was out of about everything and his prices were pretty much the same as Racers Edge and other high dollar brands. The Turnigy Nano Techs have been outstanding in my 10th scale cars and in my 811E, and they are 40% of the price. You just have to wait 7-10 days for them to be delivered from China.

I got about 4 runs in tonight and the 811E ran GREAT! I used Porkchops setup less the sway bar and 1.3 pistons(will try that tomorrow), and I was impressed. My race buddy who normally whoops my ass and laps me was barely staying out in front of me with his Mugen, with the same RX8/1900 combo. He did go over to the RCSHOX dual stage pistons and his car was eating up the ruts and rhythm section a little better so I'm going to buy some and give them a try. Although I don't have a 1.3mm piston drill bit, using stock tapered 8 hole piston.

Anyone else here running dual stage pistons?

Twice tonight my screw came out of the link attached to the front shock tower though I'll Put some red lock tight on it next time since the blue was not holding.

I ran it on a large 10th scale track as well that my 10th buggies struggle with and the 811E was amazing, that track almost seemed to easy now.
On the 8th track In the beginning I was forgetting to let off the throttle on the big monster triple and had some BIG end over end crashes, nothing broke......tough car!

And all the compliments I'm getting from others, everyone is impressed with the build and looks of the Serpent.

More to come....I'm addicted

Jon battery arent cheaper then the HK stuff but you pay for quality and service pretty simple. If your referring to the turnbuckles coming lose run a longer screw and a nut.

Tonight a schock standoff broke Considering the beating I put her through tonight I'm surprised that is all that broke. I will certainly keep a spare of those around for now on.
I take that back, my MC2 shock tower bra partially broke as well at the same time the standoff broke. But it's still functional.
