RCQ, you can find their setups on the following pages and posts in the forum

Chad's Setup- Page 560 post 8388

J. Whiting Setup - Page 578 post 8657.

good luck. I'd hate to see another Snake up for sale.

Not that I really know what I'm doing but if anyone is having trouble trying to get their car to do what they want, I highly recommend either of the two setups I mentioned above. Like I stated earlier, about 8 months ago I was close to choosing a different brand and after putting Chad's setup on my car it was a different beast that couldn't do no wrong.

My buddy that I race with all over the place just swapped out his losi form a serpent buggy and he couldn't be happier. We were practice on a loose dusty track and he felt right at home with the car. I didn't think anything could pry his losi away from him but the serpent did it.

Hey guys, how's your fuel tank lid sealing? Can you feel a "pop" when you close or open?

Thanks guys with setup helping. Specially J.Whiting, it helps. Now Cobra is easy to drive on turns and with new tires it should be perfect.

What's wrong with the current one. With the radio tray fixed. This thing is perfect as it is, also the e buggy is on it's way out and the e truggy is still in the coming soon stage. All on the same platform

After racing it for over 1 year now the only complaint I have is lack of steering throw in low speed and tight track. I just swapped to kyosho to try and came from mugen before and the two buggies have a good bit more low speed tight steering.
