As promised....
I use a racers edge alu servo alonng with one of those flat head servo screws slightly filed down and an m3 nut to hold it all together.... works a treat!

As you can see there is ample clearance either side, you need the 5mm spacers on the servo to bring it forward to clear the servo mount.

There is now a sticky thread in the Serpent section of oOple to upload/download your set ups for the 811 range of buggies and truggies, you can find it here http://www.oople.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40

I know it's a separate forum and more UK based but from my understanding this just wouldn't be possible on rctech.net and we have many other manufacturers on there that do the same in their own sections.

Its been my experience that unlike some other buggies i've had this buggy requires more changes from track to track.

porkchop 12-13-2011 03:21 PM

and as for set up changes yes small thing noting crazy once the car dialed in we just tune with camber and toe and front bar

That has been my experience with this car so far. Get to know the characteristics of how it handles with different combinations of those attributes and you should be able to setup the car for any track.

It's a 2.5x15mm pin. Amain sometimes does not have all parts.

My buggy was dialed today. I'm trying the following for shocks.

6 hole (3 holes 1.1, 3 holes 1.3)

Rear 30wt blue X-ray springs

Front 40wt blue X-ray springs

They feel really really good.

I believe they are X-ray springs :)
