to me the stock setup spinns out too much. But in good hands the stock setup is awesome. One of our best racers is deaf. He races in pro truggy& buggy (nitro) wit an e truggy&buggy and gets such a lead he can do a batt swap and still be in the lead lol. he drove my bugy and said mann. he drives all associated platformsand was drooling.Says this is a dream

Webbed bladders
TiNi shock shafts (if that's your thing)
Alum shock towers
Hard ano shock caps are nice, but the stock caps will roll for awhile
Front springs blue and green
A couple swaybars rear 2.3, 2.0
I would stay with the stock saver spring That may be how guys are breaking the saver insert.

+1 on running the stock servo saver spring. I stripped out my servo horn in the 2nd qualifier last night, sorry to the guys sitting in the pits who nearly got snake bit Luckily I had an old AE servo horn in my box that fit nicely, but will need a slight amount of Dremel work to get the ideal clearance.

My snake has been hibernating for a while now. It needs to get out! Maybe some club races on friday night with make it happy again. I've been toying around with the TLR 22 for a while now. 1/10 scale is so labor intensive sometimes. I miss driving the snake after just about two weeks of 1/10 headaches. I got some new upgrades for it also, so maybe I'll throw those on today and completely ignore my broken 1/10 cars :P

The webbed bladders have a web structure molded onto the back side of the shock bladder. The stock shock bladders are extremely thin and will not provide good rebound without foam compensators placed behind the.

I was out practicing this past tuesday. I've been having a bit of trouble with the buggy wanting to turn off power coming into a turn after a straight away. It would alway push wide and I've got the chance to drive another E scale, mp9, and the thing turned on a dime. I ended up tighting the servo saver up some from the stock position and that seems to have helped. Not sure if the spring is to soft or the stock dem for the saver nut is to loose but it def helped tighting it up. Now with all that said, on power this thing will grab and turn. I just need to find a happy medium on the 2.

The serpent vehicles on a whole seem to like to be driven a little more on power than most. I know if I drove my losi like i drive these cars it would be out in the stands and completely off the track or doing doughnuts.

I went in one hole on the front shock tower and gained more steering like this.

the stock servo saver spring should be at about 4.5mm or so to get the car to turn

try 2.3 rear bar and then a 2.7 rear bar and see what one of the 3 you like best the middle is there
