Can I run the serpent quick change engine mount with the losi clutch?

Which M2C clutch can I run?

And the robinson xhard losi clutch bell should work fine with the serpent spur?

Thanks
The Robinson meshes great with the serpent spur.

I'm 99% sure you're good with the serpent qc mount and the losi clutch setup.

Sort of! I tried them and they make the car high in the front. I never ran them so maybe they'll settle enough. Also with the serpent collars they rub the shock body badly. I recall that chop said by using an HB adjustment nut that they fit better. A fellow racer used just the rears with good luck but he's back to white serpent springs now.

I had the m2c engine mount and m2c clutch setup with an ofna style bell. I think ascendery is the actual bell I'm running. But m2c does make losi top plates so you can use the losi clutch on a m2c engine mount in the serpent.
If you wannto run the losi clutch this is the he's option. There's nothing wrong with the serpet clutch though.

On the springs. Orange Durango rear and serpet orange, red, blue, or green front.

Anyone running the truggy shocks and tower behind the tower? Everytime I see Eastons car, it is setup like that.

Does anyone know what springs, pistons and oil he uses in that setup because he wont say.

no one running the mod yet because well the things you have to do to make work might cost you a race and form what i understand it still in testing.

when you flip the arms around put the hubs long you still got grind 6mm out the arm and hub to get back farther just to make to arms the other way and forward hubs

There must be an advantage because he never runs the buggy rear shocks or shocks foward. It would be nice if Easton's real setups were posted. I have almost everything I need but I'd like to know what springs he uses.

Last week at our state race his truggy was dailed but he wouldn't share his setup with anyone

I've never known Billy not to give his setup out. Did you go up to him and ask if you could see his truggy? Usually he will unless he's super busy. I have the setup for the truggy if you want it. Email me@ [email protected]

The buggy is more complicated to explain about what is different with the rear end, it has more to do with just truggy shocks and shock tower. To be honest its way more complicated than it's worth to try and copy it. There's a lot of machining and drilling. The parts he is running now will be available in the near future. At the jc clash in december I was competitive with the stock parts as well as Josh and JP with stock parts at the fl state series races. Billy could win with a shoebox.

Actually it's been like that since about July or august of 2011. He testing new stuff all the time. Just because the shocks are on the back does not mean everything else has been the same since then.
