The USA Serpent team are there as well as Mr De Soto and so I'm sure the guys would be glad to see a fellow Serpent visitor!

If I step up to 8th scale, this looks like a good entry level class before diving head first into a full bore 8th scale chassis.

Well, I stopped by the track today - didn't really want to bother anyone, as everyone was "heads down" as I would expect on any Mains day (not to mention the fact that I was like, the ONLY spectator there)... Anyway, I was only able to stay long enough to catch the last QF and the first Semi, which Joaquin Jr. cruised to victory in. Man, how I missed the sweet smell of Nitro, lol. Anyway, the cars look fun - seeing the cars run, they definitely have a "spec class" feel to them. Those rubber tires will keep you on your toes, especially as hot as it was out there today - anyway, I can't wait to both build my 4x Pro and get my hands on a 750. I managed to sell off my old Impulse today, so I'm one step closer to coming back. If I step up to 8th scale, this looks like a good entry level class before diving head first into a full bore 8th scale chassis.

Rctech on an iPad makes me want to pull my hair out.....
anyway, I participated in the pre worlds. 3 out of only 5 serpents present made it to the finale! I won every qualifier that I finished. Got second behind Desoto in the semi finale with a blown tire in the last 2 minutes and even with that run still managed to qualify 6th overall! Finished 9th in the finale but nothing went right for me in the main... had the pace I wanted but not the luck! Desoto didn’t have his car built til Friday. Bobby had never run GT before in his life and his car was also brand new. And me I had my car only 3 weeks before the race. So Desoto and I spent Thursday and Friday bouncing setups and trying everything we could think of! Ultimately I got my car dialed in perfect for me and was only a couple of tenths off of Joaquin’s fastlap s I was content! We have some nice “worlds” parts coming soon to prepare for the upcoming worlds in January!

Question for long time Serpent GT drivers- are the two speeds interchangeable between the Cobras 1.0-3.1 and the SRX8? I know there have been changes in the design, module of the teeth and the older ones had flanged 8x16x5 bearings while the SRX8 seems to have the normal ones but other than that, are the dimensions the same? If you would account for those changes, would you be able to use a Cobra 2-speed on the SRX8?

And what is the difference? Does it make the 2-speed longer?

What servos you guys fitting to the srx8gt

Anyone happen to know what the approval status of GT8 bodies in general is at the moment? When I went to watch the World’s warmup race, it seemed like everyone was basically running that Blitz McLaren body, because it was like, the only IFMAR approved body when they held the event?

Just started building the car yesterday. What is the trick to get the rear diff spacers aligned? The only way I could get them in place was to take the diff case apart, insert the spacers, they the diff. I could not get them in, following the manual. Great idea, because diffs are accessible without taking the whole car apart. just couldn't get the spacers to seat properly, when on diff.
