Had some track time was have some issues with rear traction track was very loose.

Oils were 7,10,3 changed to 7,5,3 moved rear link up added from droop added 2.7 sway and decrease front height to 36 front 38 rear.

This helped but had some push coming into tight turns adjusted brakes with more bit in the rear to swing its ass but was wondering if you guys had some pointers increasing rear traction and limiting its push

I'm running pretty much the Charles setup with 35 oil all around 8 hole 1.3 drilled, 5-7-3 and lowered rear link to the lowest inner hole on the tower. Stock swaybars. You could try 4up in the rear front holder and 6 in the rear of the hinge pin holder. That loosened up the rear of the buggy

ok guys, need your help. I'm still not 100% happy on how the serpent truggy feels. I haven't ran it that much and i haven't played with any particular setups. Since it's been please, please send me a setup sheet i can maybe follow. It turns O.K.A.Y. I would like to get more steering (i know it's a truggy, but i like TONS of steering) and i would like for my tail to slide a little more. so, if someone has this setup, please let me know..

thx

What shock oils are you running I have a lot of steering actually too much I have a hard push on low traction areas but on high bit areas OMG it turns on a dime.

im thinking it has to be more than that. i want a completely different behavior then what i have... maybe some antisquat adjustments, camber links, something along those lines.. do they have like a 10deg front hub? that should help A LOT!

See you on Sat



I have an excell spreadsheet that has what parts are interchangeable and what parts are specific to bug, trug and E bug. Gimme a min and Ill post up a google docs version.

Heres the link. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spre...FTR2c&hl=en_US
the sheet doesn't make sense for part SER600136

this part says for 811T and 811E. Amain says this same part is for 811 and 811E (which makes sense). which is correct?

they are for the buggys but.. the only diffrance is they have a lower roll center then the truggy ones. billy should be working on 10 truggy ones.

so, what does that mean? how would that affect the truggy's performance?

when will the truggy ones be out? The 10deg got my buggy hugging corners!
