Miller can Testify that I just got my kit last week. Was disappointed to find out I didn't have the updated chassis and top plate.

Yes bought the last 2 at the track both with the oringinal. Chassis. EasyE and I are just disappointed they didn't send out the upgraded parts to the hobby shops that bought them. I remember durango sending all the shops the upgraded type B chassis motor guard when they found out it was a issue.

I just did a Stadium truck build and used a 3mm chassis because I had a new one that I never used. That's how much confidence i have in it. I've had some crazy wrecks with my buggy and it's still running strong on the 3mm chassis. Be sure not to over tighten the bottom screws on the front and you should have no problems. If by chance you do have one break then Serpent will take care of it.

defective shock pistons
Ok after a couple more hours with the shocks I finally figured out that it not only is the endcap as others suggested, but also some of the Pistons were bad and had to keep trying different ones in the kit until it had smooth action rather than scraping on the shock body.
Never had this much trouble building shocks before
, hopefully this painstaking process will be worth it once I hit the track
Am i really the only one who had this issue?

Since I have a HB D413, I tried some of the HB pistons in my Spyder shocks. 1.3x4 is the hot setup at my local track, so I used the HB 1.3x4 pistons. All I had to do was drill the center hole out to about 2.4mm to fit the Serpent shafts. Since the HB pistons, even though they are molded, have no flashing to clean up, they drop right in and are nice and smooth. I had been running the Serpent 4 hole tapered machined pistons, drilled out to 1.3, but I think I like flat pistons better.
