Thanks!

Has anyone tried ceramic bearings on the Serpent buggy? What's the pro and cons on running them for off-Road??

What are the benefits/drawbacks of the webbed shock bladders?

Just got about 2 packs into my new 811e 2.1 and so far with the 14 deg up front i have to say that it is awesome so far. Getting the old ebuggy ready for sale! Thanks to Local Serpent Driver (Jader Lopez) for all of the help!

Where abouts did you get this set up, the only ones I can see ( walters rc) have the clips on the shocks, they do advertise a 2015 model but pictures are still the same, and for illistation puposes only, or did you end up with a 811 be rtr and the 2.0 update parts you mentioned earlier, does a 2.0 rtr exist

Pretty much a waste of money. Stock with the Avid 1.00 bearings. Youll have to replace the outer rear wheel bearing every few races but the rest of the bearing should last a decent amount of time as long as you dont spray down your car with simple green and a hose or air.

They seem to land better and keep the buggy riding higher in the stroke. At the same time they dont seem to go through the bumps as well and you have to keep tabs on your shock rebound because it changes more with temperature changes. They are also a little more difficult to bleed the shocks when they get swollen because they cover the little hole in the cap from the oil getting out.

With that said I use them in my truggy most of the time and like them but also keep an eye on them with the temp changes.

Thanks for the info! Do you have an FB? Pm if you do!

I have searched the thread some and it seems like there are setups for the older versions; is there a location for setups for us outdoor tracks?

Which version of buggy do you have? What kind of track, large, small technical, wide open, loose, bumpy, smooth, high traction, etc?

The biggest set up change I can make are tires. Yes, I do make shock oil and spring changes for smooth verses bumpy tracks.

I have the 2.1 (new to me). I raced it last night on a track that has medium traction, medium sized and somewhat technical. I'm running 10/12/10 in the diffs right now and it seems to be pretty good although I would like a little more on power traction out of the rear after landing a jump. I have a few things to experiment with on my next practice day, but was looking for what folks are running to try to compare and get some ideas.

It was first time driving it after coming from an 7R ECO and it only took a couple of laps to get settled and run my ECO times, so I feel like that is a good thing. I felt like I could push it when I needed to without it getting out of shape, which is my main reason for moving from the ECO. I do have to get comfortable with putting the stick to this thing like I hadn't in the ECO.

Lots of setups here: http://www.serpent.com/product/600016/setups/
more here for the 2.0 car (most ideas cross over) http://www.serpent.com/product/600012/setups/
mostly duplicates here, but a few more http://www.petitrc.com/setup/serpent...entS811BE.html

Thanks, the last one is what I was looking for!

nice win at the wicked race against stiff competition...

hey spad how come you change from the 7r eco to the serpent buggy can I ask and how to you compare both off them
