To have more steering without modding anything:
1) New Serpent USA Lola Body. Very similar to the Parma R10 feeling.
2) New front allu hangers: 1mm lower

With some mods:
1) Front softer sway bar (grind down and make ot narrower)
2) WOS steering block. Mount this upside down (left to rigth etc.) Just need to shave a little bit the lower lip of the upper pivot ball support in order to have all the movement when the suspension is all the way down
3) front wheel axle offset. it sounds complicated but it's easy. Basically take the eccentrics that we use in the 720 for the front oneway (they hold bearing 12X18) Make a notch on the steering block so you can fit this part. The axle when installed, will not be in the center anymore, but closer to the uppser side of the steering block. You can try this with the std steering blocks or the WOS. After installing this, downstops will remain the same but you have to adjust again the ride heigth.

With all this, my car is REALLY good. I am using long wheelbase even in small tracks and i have enough steering. Try it and let me know

The serpent site says they give different effects (more turn in, or more turn out of the corners on power), whcih way are they mounted for each of these effects?

Thanks!

I bet that is posible to make it posible to fit Mugen wheels on a Serpent
I will start reseach.

I also think that serpent must start making the 960 to use the popular wheels, Kyosho, Mugen, Motonica... and not to stay alone.

Have fun
