Out of the box it greatly depends on how crazy you want to go. My self I grab everything but that's because I like shiny things. My advice would be to grab the plastic 10 deg chubs and a set of Losi 2.0 brakes (Ill post part numbers below). Take the car out from there and see where you want to go with it. The car can be set up in so many different ways and upgrades will only fine tune the car to the driver. Once you figure out where you want to go we can point you in that direction. If you want a full out build like I do I can list those parts as well just let me know.

Parts to get
600136 10 deg C hub plastic
LOSA3545 Losi 2.0 Brake Disc

Those are two cheap and great bang for the buck parts recommendations right there.

Just curious. What engines (and pipes) are in those?

Great li'l circuit you guys have there! We use the local basketball court but the surface just isn't smooth enough to give good traction.

In the yellow car it's a Murnan modified Ison GT (5 port) and the header is the short conical double bent. In the Orange car it's a Kappo Rally (7 port) and the header is the round short one.

Both with 9886 pipe

Is there any manual or tutorial for installing C hubs and steering blocks. I got the 0 degrees (600694 + 600611) but they look different from the stock ones. I 'm a bit confused. 1. How to remove the driveshaft? 2. Why don't the steering blocks have those attachments on top and bottom? The stock ones seem a lot bigger. 3. Do you need to remove the battery/receiver box to install the servo lever steering?

nice work

Should be able to do the steering with the radio box in car (at least in mine built from kit - the servo is upright) - throttle is another matter altogether.

@ Rick Davis
Yes, it's the RTR. I installed them now, thank god there was a little setup manual included with the car that gave me some hints. Nevertheless it took me 3 1/2 hours. And the tuning parts themselves should have a little manual too because they are different from the stock ones. Very confusing.

The only thing that disappoints me is that the steering blocks don't have these little holes to grease the bearings... Any hint on this?

Hello I currently have a kyosho inferno gt2 right now going to run this summer but it's tired. I want to make the switch to a serpent. I kind of need to know is it better to get the ready to run or the sedan kit. And Does the kit have the upgrades? Please steering me in the right direction.

If you are going to race, stay away from the RTR! Not enough adjustments for track conditions. The engine will not be competitive and the parts are terrible! You will spend double just fixing those issues and still end up with an inferior kit. If you're bashing RTR all the way!
