I have noticed this. I have the servo mounted pretty tight so there is not much movement. Maybe next time I am in there I will just remove the Rubbermaid grommets.

The 811 in the middle is running a truggy rear shock tower, some of the Serpent guys around here have been using it for additional shock mounting locations. It gives you the ability to stand the shocks more upright.

We race often with Billy. He lives around here. He is always trying stuff out and sometimes some of us try it as well.
nice! well tell him to send me some bling for creating such a good build thread on oople and making people decide to buy serpents

Any one using the rear aluminum uprights. Whats the difference between the original and the V2 set? Do the V2 steering hubs work with the e version?

The V2 rear uprights and V2 steering knuckles now have larger outer bearings. They both come stock on the ebuggy, don't think they have made it into the nitro kits yet.
