Wow, what a deal! Considering how much winyou got with that purchase, you really should splurge and buy yourself those blinged out aluminum chassis braces, Ha!

Any of the new parts for the Pro car start with a 601 part number. So if you go through the manual you will find them in there.

Example, the new diffs

FR/RR Diff SER601068 - https://www.serpent.com/xcart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=10849
Center Diff SER601069 - https://www.serpent.com/xcart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=10850
Rear Wing Mount SER60166 - https://www.serpent.com/xcart/cart.p...oduct_id=10847

The manual shows the default setup settings in each step.

Piston size it is the stock one 6 hole 1.2mm, 500CST front and 300CST rear. Ride height 25mm F/R
For the stock setup you use the SRX EVO default setup. The only changes are on the diffs which are 5k-5k-3k
The steering linkage changes from 11mm to 9mm, but this is part of the manual.

Are the kits shipping with a manual or only the USB?

it comes with a USB for the manual. Or you can get the pdf through the Serpent site.

I printed the manual and placed it in a binder. At the same time I printed extra setup sheets in order to take notes or any changes made

I have every manual and every set up for every car on my Google drive. Wherever I go they go. Easiest way to double check orientations during rebuilds, and reorder parts when you're at work. 😁👍🏻

Yes I have it on my phone as well (which is a nice way of having it right there), at the same time I enjoy flipping pages and not stare at a screen. I find it easier to complete the setup sheet with a pen. When I get home and have a moment I transfer that to a setup sheet on the PC and print it out.
