When are you guys going to start putting some video up? There should be plenty of people with some run time on this thing by now. I saw frankL's video and the ass end looked a little loose and floppy. Anyone have any video that shows a dialed setup? If not, get some and post it up. People need to see this thing in action.

Okay, great. Lets see some footage guys. I can't believe FrankL is the only one on all of youtube that has posted one video of the 811e. Serpent should take some marketing tips from JQ. That guy has video everywhere.

same thing we went up in front shock oil.

ron ran a 2.3 rear bar. i thought it let the car roll to much so went back to the 2.5


i got a few more things i want try but my cars pretty dialed in for me indoor any way.

After my build, the only thing I dislike about this buggy is the really long motor wires. Not only are they long but they have to be run over the battery tray that you have to open after every run.

I'm considering chopping off the RX tray, and turning the RX8 so the posts point towards the motor. This moves the wires out of the way and shortens them a great deal.

You need to grind the tray a bit to fit the RX8 sideways.

Default Reciever Box is to small?

Hi everyone,

I'm having difficulty getting the Airtronics MT4 receiver to fit in the receiver box - everything is to tall and doesn't fit.

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, radio box is a very small one

Most of the receivers will tight fit
Don't turn the screws all the way in , you should leave a little space
And you can cover with electric band of the sides

I Hope this will work
