Serpent Spyder SRX-2 Mid Motor Buggy Thread
New shots of the Mid Motor buggy from Serpent.
French Serpent distributor Racing Experience have made the first images of Serpent’s SRX2 Spyder mid motor buggy available. The MM version follows the rear motor RM version that is available for some time now and the kit targets drivers who race on high-grip carpet and astro turf surfaces. The buggy builds on what appears to be a composite material chassis, it sports the standard SRX2 front suspension but a dedicated rear end with 4-gear transmission and a revised rear bulkhead and shock tower. By the look of things the buggy accepts both saddle and shorty type battery packs and it comes with a cab forward body shell.
Looks like the front end is the same.
If it is at all like the SRX-2, the out of the box set up should be pretty good.
Will update this page with set up info, option parts and info as it becomes available.
Petit RC set up sheets (will put up Mid Motor ones as soon as they are posted)

Build tips
Make sure to use a dab of blue loctite on the nuts on the shock shafts that hold the pistons on the shock shaft.
Many people are installing Carbide or Ceramic diff balls right off the start.
Make sure to use loctite on the front screws that go into the aluminum posts in the steering assembly.
Rims
500103 white front wheel
500104 yellow front wheel
500105 white rear wheel
500106 yellow rear wheel

Is it an optical illusion, or do the rear arms appear to be different as well? Can't wait to give this one a go!

As some of you know I do the mini websites for Serpent, I am currently working on the MM website and although I cannot leak any info I will try to get some little bits as and when I can for you guys.
I will say this I am not disappointed with what I have seen so far

From the horses mouth:
Internal gear ratio is the same
Spring rates are the same so both above charts are good still.
RELEASE JANUARY 2014
