The X-ray info is good. I would start with 600 on low traction. Get the car close, then work on the diff. Not sure who makes the serpent gears , but they are nice, I have not had any noticeable problems with them.

No special tools needed

How about this XRay info? Any good for the S411?
LOW-TRACTION
600cst
700cst
800cst
Note : softer oil increases rear traction,
harder oil increases on-power steering.
HIGH-TRACTION
900cst
1000cst
2000cst

What pinion gears best to use? (the ones on the Serpent website are too big for me)
Are the spur gears on the Serpent website any good?
Any alternatives?
Would these fit? http://www.rc-mushroom.com/advanced_...sort=1a&page=1

Do I need any special tools, that are not in the kit, to build this car?
