Just remembered, there is one required upgrade for the CRC. The car still comes with the thin upper plate which will break if you aren't a world class driver so if you don't go the boxed pod route, you will want to get the thick top plate. Fortunately, it's fairly cheap.

For timing in the motor keep it at 0 when running boost, and don't go crazy with the ESC ramping, and you should be fine. I've only ran boosted in the WGT and it is insane fast; it has a lot of natural RPM so you don't need to run the same amount of boost as you would with the D3.
Keep an eye on temperature and it will be a great motor.

Is the Serpent 1/12 scale good?
Not sure if i should buy the serpent 1/12 or the yokomo. Our track mostly uses serpent but later on yokomo will be supporting us. If you ppl know jj wang i go to the same track as him so yokomo came over to check the place out and now they are sending more cars and are sending people to sell and support yokomo's. THe yokomo is way to expensive in my opinion but people say its good.

The Yokomo is such a rare sight here, but obviously it works in the hands of the World Champ

Ok i am new to 1/12 and i am thinking of getting the new SERPENT S120LT, i have been away from the hobby for about 1 year, there is a new indoor track near me only 8 miles away and I want to get back into it. I decided 1/12 as it is cheaper than 1/10 on road after it is all said and done. Where would be the BEST place to get SERPENT parts for this KIT? Also from all the 1/12 drivers experience what should be ALL the extra parts i should order when i order the kit? In other words what are the parts that break the most after a crash, being that i never drove a 1/12 car and never a 2WD car at that, i am more than sure i will be eating the wall a lot
I still have my LIPO chargers and will only be running LIPO'S. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind i will NOT be racing yet, i NEED to practice a ton before i dare even think of racing a 1/12. Again thanks to all who can help and guide me in the correct direction.

REDBULL, thanks a million looks like you are into 1/12, what spare parts should i order when ordering the kit, i liked to order doubles of all spare parts that normally break in a collision. Again thank you kindly.

So far my 120LT seems to be super tough, but I keep in my spares box a set of upper and lower wishbones, steering knuckles, kingpins and side links but so far not broke anything so I would say Serpent got there maths right on the plastics.

That new Serpent is a sweet ride.
Haven't broken anything on my R5's in 2 years, I'd imagine the Serpent is at least as durable.

Thanks everyone, i will order the items listed that may break, excited about learning how to drive these fast little beast. What is the ESC and Motor recommended for these? Sorry for the dumb questions.
10-26-2011 | 01:35 PM
The best motor and ESC at a given track depends on who is inputting the settings, the Stock Spec V2 and LRP X12 is a fantastic motor-ESC combo, but my stock spec is matched at my home track by a Trinity Duo One and Tekin RS ESC in the hands of somebody else. The answer is that there are no silver bullets, especially in blinky, and they all perform about the same at the correct gearing. If I had a pick of all available motors for Blinky, I would go with an LRP X12 or Corally Pro RED, just my guess.
