Easy build. Good quality, nice fit. All stock using RX8 and a T8 2050kv. Changing from a MP9e to this.

The body fits well but is quite tight. Had to redo the wiring to make it all fit.

Just the decals that come with the kit are not very nice. Not a single "Serpent" decal. Also no Serpent logo or 811 logo Just "Cobra" but in a ugly font

So ordered a set from Epay which looks much better. Believe from the old 811 or even the nitro 811.

Hmm, thought all the kits had a huge sheet of stickers in them.

have any of you guys tried to see if you could fit a servo into this car how most other cars have them? that is, having all the mounting tabs parallel to the chassis?

Some one posted something like that a year or so ago. It required moving the speed control up over the servo. Was really wacky and not necessary. There are really no gains to doing it. Way more hassle than the stock tray.

are you sure? i would think if you moved the servo farther in towards the brace it would fit fine. like this:


(excuse the hack looking stuff, this is an old car)

Keep an eye on the wheel hex threads. Had a front and rear strip the threads and throw off the wheel nut within a week of eachother. Front hexes were from last year, but the rears are the new 2.0 conversion and have only been run this summer.
