Well, I decided this morning to venture over to the on-road side of this forum. I haven't been here in a good while. I see the new Serpent 747 and I saw the pics in the beginning. Holy modernizations batman.
I still have a Serpent 710 which when I ran 6 or 7 years ago, was an awesome
car. I do remember blowing up the clutch several time and could not get
the clutch to stay together. (Even had team drivers try to figure that one out)
Anyway. Can someone explain what the two adjustment are on the top plate in the front of the car are???
--------------------------
Scratch that last question. I saw the video. Thanks

[QUOTE=GPXJOE;12390366]seriously,the nipple for the tank is very hard to screw in!why can't it be screwed in right off the pack?had to reamer the hole then the hole lost its thread,had to put c.a. glue.this should not have been this difficult serpent people.just sayin[/QUOTE
The Serpent centax wrench is also use to install the fuel nipple into the tank. Its a breeze with wrench.
Pass you soon...

Fellas quick question, has anyone did back to back testing with a low profile steering servo vs a standard size? I have the Ko response and the one 10! On my cap i ran the response on the steering cause i was told the car handled better with a standard size steering servo! Is that true for 747 or opposite??
Pass you soon...

RECEIVER BOX??????
Can someone please design a RECEIVER BOX for this car. Or a mount to use another brand box! The few grams u save in weight is not worth the $100+ electrical hardware that's getting drinched with fuel or smashed in a T-bone accident. Makes absolutely no sense!!

Hey just a quick note.
The 2013 Great Lake challenge in Toledo, Ohio, hosted by the One Eighth Racers of Toledo is coming up Aug 23-25. I am trying to make sedan the biggest class out there this year. I myself just switched back to a Sedan this season. If you are interested in racing registration is open now. You can register online at http://toledooneeighthracers.com/event_registration or grab the entry form from the website and mail it.
It is always a good time that draws ~115 racers each year. Give it a thought.

The Mugen MTX5 receiver box almost a perfect fit. I run one on my car. If you use a couple of receiver spacers to connect it to the top deck you shouldn't have issue.

What radio are you using?
And how often do you crash?
The weight is an issue for me as my car is balanced with out a RX box with the extra weight out to one side the car would be out by a fair bit!!
I have been running my RX reversed facing inwards you just need to take some plastic off the mount so the plugs and cables fit nicely and i have never had an issue all wiring is hidden away and only thing exposed is the back of the RX but never had an issue.
i'll have it apart over the next couple of days ill take some pics.
if you have issues and feel better with the RX box the Mugen one does fit and i have seen CDS70 and will do the job like a bought one.
Enjoy.

its great that that receiver vox worked out but dang!it looks like the snake ingested a small animal!hehe.nonetheless still better than nothing!
about the tank nipple,lil bump,the problem is not the tool that I need,its the hole for the nipple,its too small.its sure looks like a manufacturing mistake altogether
