Okay, I read the manual. Am I correct to understand that the "0" suspension bracket at the front of the rear arms in conjunction with the "3" suspension bracket at the rear of the rear arms translate to a rear toe of 3deg?
Also in the front with the "2" in the front and the "1" in the back. How does having the suspension arm pins pointed out affect handling?

#2; 1* of arm sweep, some people say it gives a tad more corner entry steering and also calms the car slightly. You kind of have to try it. I have had it in some of the others car I drove and I liked it. The S400 had it too.
I think the first I had ever heard of it was from one of the Losi cars, possibly the street weapon, anyways it was in that manual.
If you don't like it, its easy to remove by just buying another bracket.

Okay, so if I don't like it then I would I get "1" bracket to match the one that came in the kit or get a "2". I understand that there would be a difference in track width between using "1", "1" and "2", "2" and so on. What is the increase in track width from one number to the next?

Serpent 411 image on the Serpent website
I was browsing the Serpent website on the S411 page. Browse through the images and found this to be somewhat out of place.
It is a pic of the rear section. Take a closer look and its not a diff gear or ball. Look even closer and it lookes like a oneway bearing.
The manual doesn't detail a oneway being an option for either the front or the rear so is this picture a mistake?
Or is it a glimpse of whats to come?

My S400's fit and finish was really good actually.
