InitialD,

dude can you suggest set up on cement surface?
help must appreciated.

Hey there rice, in fact on the smaller tracks, I run on a cement track on a weekly basis and a tarmac permanent track for a moderate high speed track also on a weekly basis. The setups I use are pretty much the same as I have listed. I just change tire shores accordingly and perhaps shock angles (particularly the rear shock).

I don't know how rough your cement track is but we are able to use 40 shore or even 37 shore foam tires. 40 shore would be better as 37 shore would wear a little faster.

Sounds like they're having too much success with their M18 car then eh? No need to sell pewky dogbones to fussy racers like us!



More wishful thinking on my part for the Serpent Ti!

Yes, I sapu the 3-Racing (no choice mah) front shaft but the rear one is going to be the Shooter hollow shaft.

do you normally have to recharge the premaid battery packs from serpent when you first get them?(5 cell 730mah) because i bought this battery pack yesturday and it didnt work i was just wondering. because i called the store where i bought it from atomic hobbies and the guy said you always have to charge them when you first get them, but i dont believe him i think he was lying to me tryna sell me defected product thats why am checking with you guys to get the truth out of this.

Yes, you should have to charge a new battery pack for it might not have a full charge on it.

Yes you always have to charge any battery pack you get from anyone.

Hey baller Atomic is a very reliable shop I have dealt with them and they sell only good products. I am quite sure if you bought something that was defective they would stand behind it. But a gain battery paks all have to be charged when you first get them .They never come fully charged. Hope this helps you out.

I'm writing this post to merely ask for some clarification about the downstop suggestions in the setup book. Since increasing downstop means lowering the downstop value, what are you supposed to do when the book suggests to increase/higher/lengthen the downstop, or vice versa? In the case of the book suggesting to increase/higher/lengthen, is the book suggesting that you increase the value, therefore decreasing the downstop, or is it suggesting you lower the downstop value, therefore increasing the downstop?

it means to increase the numerical value. ie on the droop gauge if it is at 7 and it says to increase make it 8

hi to all serpent fans here recently I have been given the oportunity to own a brand new s710 in an even exchange for a brand new mugen mtx-3 should I do this I am really in love with my mugen but I also want to give serpent a try

If you were in my shoes would you do this trade

With new one i ment the one he gets after i take the one he now has (old one) And i don't think he will be driving the Lola version cause its illegal at our 200mm International.

And what about Michael Salven and Julius Kolff who drive at my track! Don't think i can ever get near them (still dreaming do ) And also the other Team drivers who i still have to pass on the way to the top

I think everybody here will say "Do it, get the 710" but to be honest can't you try before you swap?

Or right, the MACH International.

You racing too?

Do it ...
