All my clutch bells are original Serpent, and this issue happens with both my
Pico Boost or the GO engine.

BTW, the Boost is used for fast and high jumps tracks, the GO engine is used for tighter, slower tracks. Both engines are awesome even though the difference in price is so ridiculous!

I have been using the 2.0 in the front and 2.3 in the rear a lot recently. I am going to end up getting a 1.8 for the front here at some point to test it out as well.

Going to my first race meeting in 15 years on Sunday Goomba_7.
The nerves are twitching already.

The local club here has just completed a 6 month track refurbishment and it looks awesome.

My Serpent is already to go and I have been doing practice runs at a friends farm, mainly to run the new engine in, test shock set-ups and familiarise with my radio.
All good but without any serious jumps like they have on the new club track.

Should have plenty of photos and stuff to chat about next week.

Wish you luck Palebushman. I know I use to always get a little nervous after not being on the stand a while. Best thing to remember is to race your race, and just have fun.

He uses the truggy hubs in the rear of the buggy. Also the front axle and front drive shaft. Make sure you use the same down travel because the hubs change the down travel by about 4mm. You'll have to use the truggy shock shafts or un thread the shock ends.

Yep wichitafc98 the Serpent 811 Cobra Buggy 2.0 is a very appealing model.
I fell in love with Serpent, when they were a Dutch company, making very serious and impressive inroads to RC car world.
Not that too long ago

Any chance of some photos of your re-build progress?
