To wire the 2 packs in series can I make a wire that goes from the negative on 1 battery to the positive on the other battery? Then have the wire I plug into the ESC come from the negative of one battery and the positive of the other battery?

OK guys I'm new to 8th scale buggies I've had my serpent 811be for about two months now keep in mind I'm not a racer and I have beat the crap out of this thing and haven't broken a single part yet but I'm getting pretty confident in my driving and jumping skills . I'm not use to a kit of this caliber what I need to know is what needs to be maintained on this kit because I live in a sandy area and I'm worried about bearings and normal wear and tear I just need a good idea of what to check and when because I'm gonna attemp to race my local track
|
bearings, check your bearings. i have replaced very little on my buggy and I have had it since it was first released

And spring and shock positionand oil weights? Sorry for all the noob questions .

Also what name brand bearings ceramic or not? I don't have a ton of cash lying around so I need good bearings on a budget if that's even possible.
|
Avidrc.com is a good place to look for the ceramic bearings at a good price

I just built my kit and raced this weekend.Very good buggy! Handled and jumped great! My only complaint is I can not get my motor mount to slide smoothly. I can barely move it at all. How can I free it up?

I have same the same exact issue. Someone help on that !!!! Just built mine a week ago as well, 1st race this weekend buggy is awesome. A serpent rep told me to run 15k, 15k, 10k diffs as I have the new updated gears? Anyone else run this. And the shocks felt a little spongy with the stock oil, a lot of roll and pitch. Was going to try maybe 35wt front 30rear. ??? This thing is great on the track right out of the box |
Does the 600004 have all the upgrades like the nitro version? Are the front and rear of the car the same as the nitro.. Diffs arms and such?
|
well i went from 811 be too 811 2.0 with monster conversion on it
