This is just one example of battery strapping tape http://www.speedtechrc.com/store/ebp...id=386&id=7181 like I said, you should be able to get it from any hobby.model shop, I think Serpent even do there own version.

Pinion size is dependant upon the motor and track size/layout.

I have sealed all the edges of my carbon chassis parts, and rounded off the edges. It's essential that you do this as it will prevent the chassis splitting. i did once pretty much destroy a car in an impact but in all honesty, I have taken some hard hits recently with no damage

Put some threadlock on the adjusting screw of the servo saver as well.

I set the steering to the max the arms permit at 100% on my transmitter and then adjust dual rate from there.
