To fix the sway bar kyosho make a 12x15x.4 shim grab some if you can and stick 2x of them under the hex on the sway bar mount and tighten it down, then ream your rear arms and check the hinge pins! Worked for mine.

By the way i am another serpent driver from Geraldton Western Australia, there are a few of us in Aus!

Yeah the kyosho shim trick is the best one so far, it works a treat cause you can do the nut up fully and not have to worry about it coming loose!

As JDe said there are about 8 or 9 of us In WA that run them and we all trade set ups and little fixes when we find them, as far as i know all the boys here love the car, we are still yet to have a servo fail and the only real complaint so far from just about all of us is how sh$t the screws are, the heads strip out just by looking at them!:nod: Other than that the car is killer, im very happy i made the switch!

We are always happy to have international racers here for our events, and from the feed back so far the crew that do make the trip are happy they did.

thanks and have a nice day :smile:

Lets keep the BS off this thread and lay off the Marine comments. It's a tittle that "only" few can claim.

You should come "Down Under"! We have many better reef's then the Great Barrier on the western side of the country and you don't have to worry about the poisonous snakes and spiders, the crocodiles ate them all...

International drivers have a god like following here, I should get a Canadian passport :lol:

oh give me a break, u know the car is good, but bc of this thread u didnt buy the car, get real, if you really wanted it u would get it, not bc of some talkin on a thread, so u rather buy a car where the thread is good and the car is crap??

I could care less if you think I was or was not going to buy the car. I saw the car drive and it looked great on the track, I have also seen a ton of posts about how good the car is so YES I was ready to have 2 kits delivered to me for our final RC pro race.

Whats with the jibberish about the thread is good the car is crap??? You have no clue what kind of car I am driving so just like all of your other posts it basically a waste of server space for RCTech. Maybe you can email Serpent and tell them you are representing their product so well you deserve a sponsorship.

Keep up the good work ladies!!!! :nod::nod:

how rude, wow, dont need a sponsorship, my life isnt revolved around rc like some, all i am saying buy the car u wont regret it, i have not had one issue, not even a servo, so if it makes u feel good to tell me off then do it, hope it was worth it and made u feel good, anyways chad how can i get a wider wheel base? are those option offsets make the wheel base wider??

I dont think most ppl know this but the car is at the maximum width. Billy made narrow wheel hexes so you can narrow the car.. really a genius thing.. if u need more steering narrow the front end, if you need more traction narrow the rear end.. :D
