I believe this is true, but if willing you can install the xray bottom shock pieces to your serpent shafts. The ball is 5.8mm for both serpent and xray, so you would use xray lower shock pieces and xray perches and your serpent balls. Should work fine at that point.


For me, I am sticking with pure Serpent parts. The LE is plenty of Orange and I like the black contrast. Also (I think) there is a big difference in shading. The Serpent orange is a more dark vibrant color, and I always thought the xray orange is kinda goldish tint orange, looks good but just too different, imo

A little disappointed with the first updates to my S411's. The delrin driveshaft adaptors weren't great, not very durable for carpet with CRC clicktrack boards. I tagged a couple of corners just right, broke 2 then switched back to steel. The 2.25 chassis seemed to numb the car a lot, for me. Yes, it was very easy to drive but, lost that direct feel and the ability to push the car that was there with the 2.5 chassis. Obviously I need to make some other changes to the setup to make this configuration work. Grip was low tonight with a new, very technical track layout. I won't change too much until the grip comes up.

+1 about delrin adaptors. It is too weak seriously. I think it's design wrong completely. :-(

I have broke 2 so far within these 2 months races.

But kind of addict to it, really less chatting and dogbone pins wearing good, give smooth braking and high speed sweeper on each run.

Hello guys , first of all , thankx for this usefull tread.
But i have a question about the different C-hubs for the 411.
In the time of the S400 kit , it was possible to use different degrees of c-hubs.
0° , 2° , 4° , 6° , i cant find any of these anymore in the partlist.
4° is the standard that comes with the kit , but the other ones ?
A friend of me is team driver for the Nederlands , he is gonna ask on Ronald Baar , but maybe somebody on this forum can tell me ?

grtz Kevin

According to RCMarket, not everything on that optional list is actually available. For example the alum steering blocks are listed, but not avail. I think it's the same with the 6 deg blocks as well

Yes i have seen these c-hubs , but dont like alu , but thankx anyway.
And like Akhor says , not every part is available.
Maybe in the near future they will release it in plastic.
In the case that they dont , we have to use alu c-hubs.

I'm sorry but expecting a delrin part to hold up to the torque reversals that the outdrive goes thru is impossible. Even the Xray delrin ones break and they offer aluminum outdrives to stop the breakages, you however have to replace blades all the time. So there is no perfect answer.

I currently own a TC6.1 and decided to try a S411 after I found a like new used one for sale here on RCTech. Anyone else in the PNW running this car? I'm looking forward to running this car and comparing it to the 6.1.

Hello Guys, I am new here and I am from the Netherlands..
I have the LE kit nummer 107.....and my tools are not engraved.

I have a question...how many rebound do you have on your shocks?
On my other car (Associated TC6) I drive with 0 - 5% rebound.
