Yep i'm going!

I thought those didn't fit in this car?

It fits, tight but fits. :-) Main thing is to drill a hole in the esc mount so the sensor wire can come out the center under the receiver. This makes the receiver wires come out on the side where the body will rub. Lay the wires flat then tape over them so they don't rub on the body.

Mine is mounted the other way around, sensor wire outwards. I figured that I would rather replace a sensor wire than have to deal with the rx/switch wires.

I put a hole in the mount for the rx wire to thread out of, cut a notch in the bottom of that box to hide the bulk of wire underneath, then ran both esc and servo wires up through the holes to the rx box.

Also put some tape over the hole so the wire doesnt flap around and hit the driveshaft.

ok I mainly run on road and I got the buggy bug, So do you mind if I pick you brain and have you ever race you serpent there before?

My 1st race with the serpent was there last year.

Ya, did the sensor wire to the middle since it sticks out further.

I wonder if there are any right angle sensor wires. Maybe Ralph from TQ can source some. :-)

So where do I get bodies for my serpent?

15.65 Euros (20 USD roughly)

first thing to do before building this buggy is get rid of the screws that come with the kit. The screw head where you put the driver is not deep enough so they strip easy. Has nothing to do with the quality of driver.

Huh? The kit comes with 12.9 screws, pretty much best you can get. The screws are the LAST thing to replace in this kit! The tolerance on the holes are tight and the plastic is high quality so it gets very hard to turn the screws. You can either pre tap or just add a bit of shock oil to the screws. Score you start threading.

Ha MAXXINGOUT do you have a set up for indoor hi bite clay with a table top . Need buggy to land and not roll also need more side bite.

I just can't wait to have mine in my hands and start deciding on electronics!


I am new to this 2.4 stuff, so to take it back a few post, If I am using a spektrum module in my M11 can I use an airtronics receiver, or do I need to use my tiny spektrum one? My local hobby shop definitely talked me into a savox servo and I don't want to run into any issues.


Is anyone outside of RCMayor running a hobbywing in here? Any pics of the install? Is 1900kv good for this car? Choices choices choices!!!

Do I need to change to the option 2 steering rack to change Ackerman or can I just change to a different hole in the steering posts and adjust the camber link to suit? I have the stock (option 3) rack. Thanks.
