Does anybody have a good starting setup for the indoor clay track at Leisure hours in IL. I'll be running the 2.0 rear end upgrade. Thanks.

I really like nitro more than electric but trying to find a regular pit guy is a pain the butt so I elected to go the (E) route for next year. If money wasn't a issue I would of kept the BE and still bought the nitro 2.0 and then you would have the best of both worlds.

I assume you are referring to the RC8Be. Having owned both of these, I can say without a doubt that the 811e is by far the better buggy.

I am considering the serpent as my new buggy. I know the wear on all parts is supposed to be superior to any other buggy. I wonder if this justifies the cost of parts though. Also what upgrades do yall recommend? How hard is the car to set up and drive? Thanks!

it really does justify it as you won't need any upgrades or major parts support. I run my car with stock suspension kit setting inserts, an aluminum serpent servo horn, low roll center rear toe block, different springs and shock pistons.

limit the shocks to 96 and 110 for a smooth track 5,7,3 in the diff and race the snot out of it .
