Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to the factory.

So I bought a Cobra RTR and ended up buying a new 811 2.1 with upgrades to 2.2


I love it. I used to race on road Impulse, 700, 710 etc. New to offroad.

Question, can we use the SRX8 radio tray? Of course changing the center diff carriers as the brakes are different.


That POS trackstar engine is getting swapped with a Novarossi Paloma. Just trying the car, so easy to work with except the servos and radio. I hope to be able to use the SRX8 radio tray

The SRX8 radio tray isnt a direct fit however I do know folk that have fitted it to the truggy car and so you might be able to get it into the buggy but you do need to redrill the chassis. Go over to the 811T truggy thread and have a look a few pages back - its either in there or on the Serpent 811 Truggy facebook page.

That being said I had no issues with the stock 811 radio tray all the time I ran 811 and I still run it in 811 GT and Truggy. Personally I actually prefer the 811 tray over the SRX8 tray! It certainly looks nicer...

Some new pics. Time to break in the engine now







I still need to finish adjusting the break as the fronts do not engage very well.

Also need ot adjust the exhaust wire so I can use the Novarossi EFRA-2096

Does anyone know any other bodies that fit the serpent besides the serpent ones?

I also did 4 tanks on idle, 2 tanks at 1/4 and 1 half throttle. Need to do one more at 3/4 and then start opening this engine up.

Was doing some wiring during the weekend. Had a small piece and decided to make my own air filter holder thingy





Gave an extra 1hp, you should try it!!
