i think you might need the old serpent wing for this car not 100% sure still got testing to do

so for now this what you guys get give me a few weeks

also shock oil is based on 60 deg tempture you may have to mess with it a bit

Another option. I'm using this method on my pl6. Works like a charm. Check our epbuddy for your charging needs!

Porkchop nice to see you tried the crazy shock setup. What did you think?

frank i ran it on my nitro car i yet to get test it on my eletric car but it sitting here ready to go and i think be good

Gday there guys, I,m from australia and i just purchased a 811Be for our 1/8th NITRO TRUGGY and EP BUGGY nationals. To say the least, WOW, what a machine.

Never have i driven a EP anything, being strictly nitro, religiously XRAY, and more a successful truggy driver than buggy.

Got the cobra finished the night before with the build for our nationals and put 7 mins on the drive line and electrics on the road out front of home, that was my experience right there.

This thing is a weapon, running the v3 Hobbywing 2300kv combo, the only changes made at this stage was 35 oil in the front shocks with 1.4 hole, in one hole top shock tower, diffs 5 7 3, the rest is out of the box...... NOW for the result,................

happy to say i finished 10 th with the only serpent there, im on cloud nine for my first ever EP race and to finish 10 th in the final what can i say, the XRAY TRUGGY is now retired and i am on the hunt for the NITRO SERPENT TRUGGY to go with this little beast.

CHEERS WILL AUSTRALIA
HAPPY CONVERT

Awesome another EB cobrakai member

why is this setup called the crazy setup?

Ive had a quick run for 5mins to bed the diffs in slightly and the center diff has leaked a tiny tiny amount onto the chassis under the spur, is this normal or has the diff had slightly to much oil put in?

After the first run I've seen the diffs leak a little bit. The o rings need a chance to expand with some oil and they will seal up. One thing I do is put mobil 1 grease on the outdrive in the little groove before I put it into the diff case and gear.

super thanks.

Ive glued the carbon towers today, any other tips before it gets its first run?


I still need to make my order for spares and essential upgrades.

i did this to my front ST...
