Had a chance to run my new kit yesterday. Really impressed! Anyone suggest some shock oil weights, keeping in mind im limited to the kit springs/bladders and pistons, until my upgrades come in? Thanks!

I started off with stock oils, csi pistons with webbed bladders. idk, I would wait for the pistons if you got new ones coming... or spend some time sanding the stock ones.

I use a much more 24 amp ps at the track and I have to limit each side to 8.5 amps or it shuts off. At home I have a Maxamps 24v brick ps. I don't remember how many amps it pushes But it will run 2 Hyperion duo charges pumping 15amps x4 into 4 seperate packs.

I'm using a Hyperion DUO3 0615i (2x 15A/180W) with a 12V/700W server power supply. I usually only charge at 1C though.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. After going racing this weekend and poking around the pits and talking to folks there with Hyperions, Ichargers, Hitec X4's and Powerlab, I think im going the Powerlab 8 route and a good 24v 1000w power supply and be done with needing to upgrade battery chargers for the foreseeable future.

Serpent arrives tomorrow. I will post up some pics when she is finished.

We had our month big race my serpent E was on fire took TQ placed 2nd had one flip but the marshal took super long :cry: was behind but I was able to push through the field. I have my kit setup perfectly awesome setup I'm able to push as hard as i want cuase its so planted. My High velocity lipos pushed my serpent with vegance. We had a good turn out for ebuggy this class is growing monthly. Also had another E serpent on my butt it was a awesome battle awesome race Alan.

Had a blast yesterday and was great to see my Serpent family member ahead of me! :D The buggy felt great, cut the corners like a knife and took the jumps with ease. :sneaky: :tire:
