For the record I feel similarly to you, as I've been building diffs for 15years without it. 😉

great review!!!
Thank You - and yes I do understand some kits are moving towards it. I actually play with a Kyosho MP9e from 2014-15 (same as all the years), and even it has the set screw for the diff.

As far as this Serpent goes - I did enjoy it thoroughly and ended up learning a lot about it. However since last month I've moved on to building and playing with TA's RC8B3.1e.

So if someone is in the market for a Serpent SRX8E - please hit me up. Solid car albeit on the heavier side and definitely one of the most over-engineering cars on the market .
