Hard (stiffer) suspension bits are usually for very hot weather and/or very high traction but you can often get a reasonable setup on them under average conditions.

I only use the hard upper front arms. These give more steering than stock. The other hard parts don't really make much difference as I've found. The hard parts are also slightly heavier.

Racing here involves quite a bit of travel. And if I first travel I want to race. As the weather is quite shifty in these parts of the world I have prepared a extra chassie for a wet car. Will try to get my hands on some kiss tires (https://www.kiss-tyres.ch/)
Anyone raced in the wet and have som ideas for what directions to take with the set-up?

Usually I don't change the setup too much if the race turns wet apart from disconnecting the rear ARB if the car is particularly difficult to drive. Kiss rain tires are the go to if there is standing water - you MUST have standing water on the track before you use the Kiss tires otherwise they won't work and overheat within a couple laps. If the track is wet but not standing water then stick with foam DAMPS.

Rear Axle pin
What are the reasons that this rear axle pin (2.5x22) drops or falls off when driving the car?

Hey all
I got to use my 977 at Adur yesterday, first time running a 1/8 car ! just need some advise , first I really struggled coming out of the last corner that leads up to the back straight, as I struggle to keep the car straight ( steering feels twitchy ) and then I scare myself and back out of the power,
Also at other times I keep losing the rear end and spin out ! like maybe entry into a corner
Best Regards

I have several 977 parts that I forgot I had when I sold my car last Dec. Since I do not have the now "required" 90 posts before I can post in the for sale section, I will be posting these on the Serpent 977 FB site. Keep an eye out. Location:Canada/USA
