What? :eek:

I hope you're wrong. A company in US, whether it calls itself Serpent USA or Moogen USA, can distribute anything they want, in their own packaging. Only Serpent BV can take any parts they want and package them into the official packaging or make decisions as to what parts are official Serpent parts. At least, this is the "normal" business conduct unless Serpent BV and Serpent USA has an iron-clad agreement that they are each independent in doing whatever they like!

If Serpent BV takes 3-racing's universals and pakage them in plastic bags with the new orange Serpent tags then I guess you are right but this is not what I've heard. The universals may look like 3Racing ones but I'm told they're made for Serpent by someone else, better quality etc etc.

Ah! Doctor Rene was much quicker than me!

Dr. Rene is not quicker... You're just too Slow&Steady. :nod: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I Believe so as for the universals I will get confirmation when I speak to one of the team drivers. When the car first came out 3racing was the only company to offer universals. I received confirmation from serpent like three months ago that Serpent USA is now carrying 3racing products. For those that have seen the spring steel axle carriers for the 950R it is mabe by Hudy exclusive technology Can't wait for them to be available for the 710 it smooth's out onpower steering like the XRAY cars.

What more proof do you want when the chief designer for the Serpent 710 himself has spoken and confirmed on this very forum a few hours ago that they are of Serpent design and not from 3Racing? :confused:

That is a fact. :nod:

And that's already yesterday's news... There are also pics to proof that Serpent USA distributes 3Racing products. :lol:

Ah, yes the picture of the Merc....
Did you see the pic of the wheel on the other side???? Indeed other way round installed it was :nod:

:eek: Master Yoda? :deathstar :deathstar :deathstar

So, do you mean to say that it does not matter the direction of the disc?

So Master Yoda...are you saying matter it does not?

If you guys keep asking/wondering.. I think the next batch will come in straight holes pattern :lol:

You know, I'm getting the distinct feeling that D and myself wasted our times looking for the Ring in far off lands......seems someone else has had the Ring the whole time :eek: :cry:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very glad to hear the truth !
Thanks Rene.

But are the 3Racing universal one's good parts ???

personally speaking NO i've used 3-racing universals with my RR-Evo and my FW-05 and they bend easily better wait for the original Serpent ones :nod: guys if the serpent universals are already available what is the part number please,thanks :)

hi
i have two motors for sale x12 5 port mod by dennis richey and ns3A1
$300 plus shipping

thanks

soory thats RB X12 mod by DENNIS RICHEY

Dont waste your money on such crappy junk products. Get the original Serpent parts.

Not all third party products are bad.
The CVD's may not be as good as the serpent ones, but the 3racing carbon/graphite parts are easily as good as the original parts. I broke my radio plate (don't ask) and replaced it with a cheaper 3racing part. It fits perfectly, and in fact looks a little bit better than serpent's part.

thank you very much Pyramid

Hi Everyone,

Finally got a chance to run with the 21T option pulley and the car was absolutely dialed. I also achieved excellent wear rates using 40sh front and 37sh rear. One other thing I changed was using the front ball diff, so far I have broken two friction rings because I did it up to tight (Rene please design a aluminium part). To counter this problem I had the 3racing friction collar that i tried on the rear diff and didn't like it because I found it didn't improve the car. So i put it on the front and used the dremel to make it the same size as the diff pulley (required only if using the optional servo saver).

I don't see me changing back to the oneway as I had no perceptable loss of off power steering and gained improved and consistent braking. I should also mention I'm using the race brake pad set and vented brake disc.

I saw Richard Keur (dutch driver) drive with a allow clamp, micht be 3racing but i don't know.. he is a serpent team racer, so i gues it's comming....

Ok, we will make an aluminium clamp ring. :nod:
To be honest, it is already done. I used it a long time, to find out the right material, also Kolff and Keur used it. Both where happy with the result.
You wish it, we do it. :)

Rene

:eek: Its the one true ring!!! :eek: :lol: :lol:

Great support Rene :nod:

O' Master ... will there be a 16t pinion that works better than the current one? Or is there a tip or two that ensures it works consistently without problems? :sweat:

I'm going to wish for some more things Rene.... I check tomorrow to see if you have also tried them.

Simon

hehe, give one vinger, take the hole hand? :D

Wish list
 

I wish the Alloy radio tray mount had 4mm mounting holes, and the same holes in the chassie were 4mm and countersunk to fit the 4mm screws.

It would save me some machining time.

Here's a tip: Use a Mega and you don't need 16t :D :D :D

proto 3.1 stratus
 

I tried the new 3.1 stratus body yesterday and boy let me tell you.That body made such a difference in the cars turning and stability it was amazing.You guys should try it!! :D :D :D

Hi!


My used 710 came with a shim between the 1st and 2nd pinion gears, but in the manual is no shim visible.
Do I have to use the shim?

Many thanks in advance!
