Serpent 720
#1951
Walter and I ran the chassis with the plate on. Well be testing the car without the plate next week at another race track.
#1952
I was looking at the Serpent site and saw part (803187) Break pully one way. Is that setup to make the 720 act like it has a center diff ??? If so, would that part compliment a front oneway and make it have the same characteristics as a gear diff but with a posi ?
I'm interested!

Anyways, in my case there was no way to use the chassis without the plate since I had to disconnect the front slwaybar to prevent from traction rolling.

Its not a diff action. It will be engage only if the brake and trottle applied.
During off trottle the car will glide very free just like asuming the middle belt is taken off.
If using this with one way It does not make any big different but smoother because it will disengage the rear transmission with the middle belt.

When you run a longer main, you will get different wear rates front and rear. Most of the time you will wear the reas faster than front. In the long run this will mean the drivetrain gets bound up, as the fronts will want to turn slower than rear. The 3rd one way as we call it helps to free up the drive train during off power phases (like coasting through corners). This helps to smooth out the handling mid corner.
It feels sort of running a front one way (when you are actually running a diff) without losing the braking power.
Also because of the way the 3rd one way is setup, you will also find you get more steering under braking when running a diff or spool up front.

Thanks Julius......so let me ask you,would you still be able to run an overdrive set up?...

RCPANAMA, what's that thing on rx battery cable.. it seems to be a good protection against rubbing..

New Ackerman
Hi Guys
Does anybody have more info on the new ackerman for the 720? For example, the diff insert positions and the result of each insert position. Which position will give you more steering and which insert position will give you less steering?
Thanks
