As most have stated...one of the easiest spurs to remove on a TC

I would not say it's complicated. It's just different.

Once you get a hang of it though, the car is great.
What worries is a little now is that Team Serpent don't seem to be having much luck with the car on the intl competition level. They just did poorly in Thailand. I worry it will suffer the same fate as the SRX4 (original innovative design) and give way to the 'standard' design like the SDX4.
TITC was crazy for sure. Felix Law did awesome in 13.5 Boosted consistently being in the top 10. Stick King from Asia was up there early on as well.
I owned an Xray T4 prior to this car and it worked very well. Almost set and forget. My first packs on the 4x I could tell there was a definitive difference in handling. The 4x just handled the entry and exit of corners so much better. Why...I'm not sure, but I was more comfortable with the 4x.
Now that a lot of guys are running we are seeing more and more setups. If you are running black CRC carpet just copy one of Paul Ciccerllos/Jeff Dayger setups and you should be good to go
I'd also follow the Facebook page if you use FB. Way more Serpent users active on there.
