Niiiiice! Here's mine right before my main last weekend, in Savannah


(note that the tires are down to maybe 20-25% before my 6min main... lol)


(qualified second at my first weekend race (state championship series), with my eBuggy)


(glamour shot with my Losi XXX-SCT, after their mains...
Again, note the tires on the Serpent.... Mind you, it was just a 6min main I drove the damn tires off her!!! It was great!! lol



I'm one proud Serpent 811Be owner!!! Love it! First ever eBuggy, and I'm in love...

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.

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.

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.

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