R/C Tech Forums - Serpent 710

I'm having Mugen diff oil of 10000, 30000 and 50000 weight in my tool box. Mugen has got diff oil ranging from 3K onwards; although I vaguely remembered that I saw a tube of 1K diff oil in my LHS, not 100% sure about that. ;)

the one 1K is mugen b0324
;)

I've switched fuel line, tanks, pipes and motors and nothing has helped. I never had this problem with my NTC3, impulse or vector and I've run out of ideas.

Is this with the Mega ZX 12?

The 1st thing I did was change the tank and all the lines. It didn't seem to make a difference. It originally did it with a JP X12 with half a season on it in my NTC3 and then I switched to a brand new Mega 12 as a last resort. The 1st 2 tanks after break-in ran great. I had the motor set rich and came in about 180-190. After letting the motor cool I went back out and about half way through it leaned out all of a sudden. By the time it came back around it was lean bogging and temped at 300. No one at the track could figure it out. I had at least 5 or 6 guys that tried to tune the car with no luck after that 5 minute mark. Of the 7 weekends I ran I only finished a total of 5 heats and 1 main without motor incidents. The previous year I finished every race I entered.

The car itself ran flawless.

do you take your motors apart before you break them in and clean them?

So, i'm already warming up for the comming outdoor season here.. and i'm planning om making my car a little lighter. With the new rear diff being one of the improvements :D

Now what hop-ups or mods do you guys apply to the 710 to make it lighter?

It is very wise to complete clean out the motor and carb before breakin to make sure there is no burs or material left over from the machining of it.
