Hi Eveyone,
After being an independent for the past year while running an xray, I will be joining the Serpent Team. Can't wait for Paul to send me my cars and start to figure out this car. I was impressed with this 411 when it first came out and have been thinking about this for a while now. It looks like it is very strong and has a good design.
I look forward to learning more about this car and hopefully getting some good results.
Cheers.

Will Paul be sending you Limited Edition, or regular s411's?
So I guess your Xray's are for sale now!
Cheers,

4.5 spacing
Hi Martin, the 4.5 spacing is only 0.5mm antidive, the sum of the 4mm spacer with a 0.5 added for the antidive. The 4 is required if you run the 1mm spacer under the front bridge, obviously as you add or subtract from the front the rear will require the same amount to be added or subtracted to keep the arms level. Example, if no spacer in the front a 3mm is required in the rear for level arm.
The setup sheet could use a little refining to take advantage of options and settings that are used but no place to document, not sure who to talk to about that though.

Martin,
The hinge pin block in the front lays down flat against the chassis. The rearward block for the front of the car is flipped upside down. This is done for belt clearance. So you need 3mm shim under the rear front block if nothing is under the front front block. This would create the lowest hingepin and it would be flat. If you were to put a 1mm under the Front, front block and still want a level hingepin then you would need 4mm under the rear front block. So when he put 4.5 under the rear, if he also had 1mm under the front then he had .5mm anti-dive. Does that make sense?
