Serpent to 1/10th EP Touring Kit S400
#1561
There is a new thrust bearing assembly. The original one did not hold up so well and the diffs did not last. Serpent identified this issue and released an improved thrust bearing that will solve the issue. Purchase the new thrust bearing and install it and the problem is solved.
Clear enough?

Just so the traction feels consistant, I would keep saucing the front tires. You could try saucing less of the tire, maybe the inside 75-80%. A thicker swaybar is also an easy fix to an aggressive car, front kickup, or less sweep in the front arms would be things to try.

Less front sweep would mean rather than running a 3* front block and 1* rear block, you could run 2* on both to make the pins straight and keep the width the same. Or you can experiment with different combinations to find the width and feel that you like.
I run a 2* in front and -.5* in the rear, which is very narrow with a lot of sweep, and .5mm of anti-dive (shim under the rear block) which makes my car very aggressive going into the corners which will help give the little extra edge if you are trying to pass someone close to the same speed as you.

Randy,
I got a few questions for you. You just posted some adjustments that you use for the front of the car, do you try much in the rear of the car? Do you play around with anti-squat or pro-squat. Also what body do you run, do you have a favorite 95% of the time or do you adjust the car by body also?
Thanks,
Steve

I very rarely run pro-squat anymore, I used to a lot to help the rear of the car stay planted on the corner entry. On my current setup I do run anti-squat, which I feel helps the car rotate a bit better in the corners, but may feel loose on some tracks.
My favorite body is the Mazda 6, seems pretty balanced and has good steering. If the rear end is too planted I will run the Mazdaspeed 6 which is a little twitchier off center, and has a little less rear end traction generally.
