Wow, good deal teeforb!

I checked Amains for the heck of and a lot of the spare parts are out of stock. People are buying things up like candy! I was hoping that they might be having cyber monday on serpent parts also but no such luck.

From what I understand, this buggy isn't likely to need many spare parts other than your usual maintenance items.

I think I'll pick up some webbed bladders and oring/gasket kits. That should be about the only thing I need to keep in my hauler bag. Anyone have other reccomendations? I'm not a fan of upgrading to aluminum either. Its just more weight that is not necessary when the composite parts are more than up to the job.

I got my shipment notification today and I have an expected delivery date of DEC 2. Now I just have to get over to fedex and send the .2e back to the tower.

Well that is interesting considering that you placed your order before me. There isn't much room for variation on their ordering process either. Their system is straight forward and you can only pay with a credit card. Perhaps my credit card processed before yours? I paid with my bank visa card. Their order processing defys any logic I can muster. I'm sure you'll get it around the same time that I do.

I would stick with the stock servo saver spring it works great and is a little easier on the servo saver and servo horn mech. Alum wing posts are great and the alum wing washers are blingy. I have never had good luck with CF shock towers but i have seen the m2c "bra" and it definatly protects the CF tower (i have alum towers on my car) I ran my car this last weekend without a hiccup. I would keep a spare servo lever/ servo horn mech as guys have had issues with them. I think it might be due to a saver set too stiff.

Dont wish, just get it. Sell other things if you need to. You don't really need all of your organs :P
