I decided 1/12 as it is cheaper than 1/10 on road after it is all said and done. Where would be the BEST place to get SERPENT parts for this KIT? Also from all the 1/12 drivers experience what should be ALL the extra parts i should order when i order the kit? In other words what are the parts that break the most after a crash, being that i never drove a 1/12 car and never a 2WD car at that, i am more than sure i will be eating the wall a lot
I still have my LIPO chargers and will only be running LIPO'S. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind i will NOT be racing yet, i NEED to practice a ton before i dare even think of racing a 1/12. Again thanks to all who can help and guide me in the correct direction.
Love Bob Stormer, Stormer is the best. BUT, Serpent parts can run low so if they are out, you can try A-Main or Ashford. Both carry Serpent and give very good service. Running on a slippery track with lots of traffic, I have broken lower front arms, a Kingpin, bent a front top link, had to replace the steering block because the broken kingpin wouldn't come out, and broke a side link. The latter I replaced with 12R5 parts because they are a little beefier, likewise on the body posts. Get some shock rebuild kits, mine seems to wear quickly and be very careful not to over tighten the shock cap, the seal is thin and distorts easily. Once you overdo it you need a new seal. Good luck, I'm sure you will be very happy with the car, I am.
