Hi guys, mine is allready ordered too.
I need Your help with setup so i can make build it right.
Here is link to video of track i'll be racing on, maybe it helps.
What tunning parts i need to start i've read that webbed bladders and tappered pistons is a must have, what else? I also need an advice with tires, here in Poland i can buy only prolines and lrp vtecs.
What is Your opinion about new LRP speedo and motors in comparison with Tekin ones, i also must choose between those.

I always think that the castlle products is for revo, savage and stuff like that, here no one race with Mamaba only Tekin and Hobby Wing. LRP is new one and i never seen anyone ho have IX8. Is Mamba Monster compareable to Tekin or LRP?

When I ordered my Serpent I was thinking to run with Mamba from E-revo, but the motor did not fit for Serpent, he was to long. After that I try used SPX8/ Vector 8 2500kv . After 20 min of running in race the motor have burned. This motor can't run without cooler. LRP says new one Dynamic8 is better, they can run without cooler. After that I buy RX8+2050kv set but in second race I have burrned RX8, but it was munufactured problem, I hope I will get it from warranty.
For tires you have try in your track. Now we in Lithuania have 0 celsius and we running Vtec banzai super soft, it works. In summer I like more Proline

Heya Guys, I'm right in the middle of the build, and the manual keeps saying transmission grease. Is this the grease in the small circular container?
This looks like diff grease to me, not transmission grease. There is no other grease in my kit other then this.
The grease in my Losi was dark, this stuff is almost clear.
And I put it on the plastic/metal gear mesh teeth inside the diff, correct?
Also one of my a-arms is binding, it doesn't flop up and down freely. I thought I remember back in this thread earlier about drilling those out. Or perhaps a little light oil? Any suggestions?
