I seem to be having the same problem as Killa G. On right hand turns my car has a nasty problem with the a$$ end wanting to come around. It only seems to happen on exiting the corner on power. Initially I though it was a problem with the droop or may something not built correct. After changing everything (one thing at a time) I have yet to solve the issue. I've even had Brandon Hess (local Serpent fast guy) look at the car and....nothing I need help!!! Has Serpent ever had a problem with the plastic molds or chassis being out of tweak......I know this is probably not the case but at this point I just need a solution.

I do not think it is a chassis thing. If it is teaked, maybe, but not just the weight. Maybe you have a problem with the drive train. maybe a cvd or dog bone issue. Maybe a belt issue. Something with the drive train is most likely your problem. Check your out drive, cvd's, dog bones, pulleys, belts, etc. Also check sway bars front and rear for issues.
Hope this helps,

I have had this problem every since I purchased the car. I ran the car first with the stock 4mm chassis and it would spin out. I then put on the LCG chassis to see if that would solve the problem and the car is still spinning out. I will be doing a total rebuild on the car this week so I will check the belts pulleys and diff. Hope I find something....

Something to share and assuming you meant pushing exiting corners ON FULL throttle. It was exactly what I experienced first time driving the car, box stock setup (1way) with 37s all around back in 2006. It was also on a race day. I was (actually Rene did) adding more rear toe in (about 1deg, total -3) and solve it. Surely other setup changes (as suggested) could be made to get where you want the car to be.
S720 seems 1step ahead in design till now eventhough almost a year old already. The one I like the most is that when you change rear roll center (lower arms), trackwidth will remain the same. Not all car design (maybe none in 1/10?) putting attention to this small detail.

In terms of droop should you run more or less droop when the traction is high and the track is semi smooth? Or does it depend on the rest of your setup? I believe I read that more droop less stable but more responsive?

I depends on the rest of your set-up. When the track is smooth and I have plenty of rear traction. I run less travel in the front, typically.
