NICE

I have to say that Serpent America is on top of it. I sent out an email on a missing part and they responded by sending me what I was missing. No questions, nothing but prompt customer service. One happy customer here

Frank, are you going to whip out your snake for the next norcal race next weekend? Can't wait to get the electric car. Gotta get all my old cars sold off now.

Just a little info about the Serpent clutch springs

Soft = .85mm
Medium = .90
Heavy = .95
X-heavy = 1.0

The buggy kit comes with the Medium springs stock.

I hope I can buy parts to convert a nitro! I bought a second buggy to convert to electric, I may just wait for the 811E to be released and buy parts to convert instead of getting the RC Monster kit.

The e car is defiantly cool. It's laid out like the Durango pictures I have seen. Looks like the split battery is wining across the board compared to a single 4s and the reverse mounted motor.
