Z&M got the order in. I should be the proud owner of a serpent by late this week or early next week! Do the kits come with the new body?

So a while back with the release of the V2 radio tray, I had posted some info and pictures about rhe RX8 and IX8 fitment. At the time, my Hobbywing was in my conversion buggy, but I was confident it would not fit without modification in the BE. Things change, and modification happened, and the Hobbywing 150A will fit the new tray without anything too major, about 5 min with a dremel actually. Pics attached.

That metal you see is part of the heat sink.

Awesome.

Standard body. The Avenger is newer. IMO at RaceEm either body is fine. I just bought both because they look awesome

If you know what servo your going to use grab the Serpent aluminum servo horn for it. The stock is plastic.

Is a serpent horn required? I have plenty of aluminum horns

would some please tell me what the lenghts of the shocks are for the front and the for the rear?

i'm wondering whether the serpent shocks for the 1.0 rtr (shocks have the gold body with black springs) would fit my rc8.2...

also, are these serpent shocks good?

Yes. There is another part that attaches to it using a flathead and but going through. Peek at the PDF manual page 19 step C6.

Does anybody sell these in Canada???? I've just read this whole thread and want to buy one but can't seem to find any distributors here.

Try http://www.clockworkracingengines.com/ or I suppose Desoto/Serpent America would ship to Canada but the shipping/customs may add a too much to the price.

I am not running the serpent horn. I am sure you can make on of your aluminum horns fit. IT just takes a little time to shim the servo properly and find the right hardware.

Hi guys, I am getting ready to order some tools. Can anyone give me a rundown of the tools needed to build / tune the 811be.

Do you own a cordless screwdriver?

I'd recommend one or your hands will get tired. Home Depot, Ace and others have inexpensive versions. Then you can get the 2mm and maybe 2.5mm hex drives.
