SerpentCT4S,

For the Tamiya shocks 50 wt oil front and 40 Wt oil rear. I use three hole pistons front and rear. Ride height should be around 5mm front and 5/6mm rear. The lower the car is the less likely to traction roll.

3Racing front and rear graphite braces go across the top of the front and rear chassis and use the screw holes used for the top mounting point for the shocks. These are not legal for TCS racing but will not worry you for driving around.

3Racing front and rear hubs are softer than the Tamiya hubs. They will not take abuse and bend easily. I have had one degree rear hubs become 10 degree rear hubs from being hit by another racer at full noise.

I advise you to visit http://rc-mini.net/joomla/index.php. There is alot of useful information on the web site.

Regards,

Calvin
