I can give you some build tips when the time comes that will make your life a lot easier down the road.

I'm getting the ebuggy as well.

But honestly, I have two parts boxes full of parts and I haven't really used anything. Someone plowed into me and messed up my wing mount and I finally wore out a diff. That's about it. lol

I just change bearings regularly (before every major race).

I am a mugen through and through, but will be getting this buggy as it is so damn sexy!

I'm not an electric guy, but I've seen the advantage people have that run multiple classes when you are at a big race. I'll be getting this (as opposed to a nitro truggy) since it should handle similarly to the nitro version. And it looks dead sexay!

This may have been asked before, I have been looking at the pics of the Serpent E buggy and I am a little worried about ESC space. I currently run a Hobbywing Xerun 80A esc, the foot print of this speedo is a bit bigger than the Tekin, which looks like it only just fits in the chassis.

Who else has this concern?

I know many will say just buy a Tekin, but with a new ESC and the price of this car, I dont think both are in the budget.

You will be fine, the hobbywing measures in at 58L x 46.5W x35H, and the Tekin is 38.1L x 55.88W x 35.5H

I really cant wait for this to come out. i love my 811 and really want the E

I wish more details we out anyone know the dimensions of the battery trays are you limited to only running 2S. Plan to run 4S setup with a 2050 Tekin wanna buy my Lipos but I dont know the max height.

Any roar approved 2s pack will be a safe bet I would say. It does look easily modded if someone wanted to go 6s with 2 3s packs. Or just make sure the 3s packs are within dimensions of roar specs.

No reason to limit yourself to hard case lipos. I plan on using two Hyerion 3S 3300 mAh lipos to run 6S. The Hyperion soft case lipos are smaller in dimensions than a roar approved 2S hardcase lipo. BTW, I've been running escale for over 4 years and have never used a hard case lipo and have never had a problem.

I'm probably building mine up 6s as well.

I meant any pack that is the same dimensions or less than a roar pack.

I heard the other day that they are just working on finalising the gear ratio's then its ready for production. How true this is i dont know but it came from a good source

this interesting cause it was said that Billy Easton was in China kinda overlooking production, maybe a month ago

The car Billy showed us 2 weeks ago at the Regionals in Fort Lauderdale looked pretty damn production finished to me. It shouldn't be long now.

Does anyone know when this buggy will be for sale for sure?? Amainhobbies will let you preorder and is saying that it will be in stock Sept 9. How true is this or have you guys seen dates pushed way out in the past?
