where did you get the 7k ?

I'm using Losi fluids and I believe I picked it up from AMain.

I'm just curious here...does anyone know or has broken it down and found out what parts are different between the 811-be and the 811-be sport?

Anyone got a good set up for a hard pack Tracks with medium size jumps?

I was just curious how long your bearings are lasting. I haven't changed my bearings in almost a year. I hardly ever do maintenance other than squirting some grease into the wheel hubs. I'm guessing the straight drive train has something to do with the long bearing life.

Wow one year as long as your drive train is free your good another feedback comments about how well these serpent kits are designed and how well they perform. Honestly I bought so many spare parts but they sit . I feel guilty so I change out cause its abnormal. I change out for appearance cause I like my kits looking new.

I believe I made the right choice getting this car over the SWORKZ 350Be Completed the build over 2 days. Kit went together without a hassle. Had no problem with screws going into plastic. Yes they were tight so I used a large hex head to tap out the holes 2/3 the way down. I like the engineering that has gone into the buggy. Everything is access-able. I have raced mostly Associated buggy's for the last few years and they are bullet proof. Probably the reason they weigh so much. The Serpents diffs are small and light. After owning the associated cars it makes me think they may be weak but I read no one has problems etc etc so that makes me happy. Only gripe is I paid $550 au for the Kit not more than a week ago and I didn't get the kit with the updated diff gears. No biggie really I suppose as for $45.00 I can buy three sets of the new diff gears.

Cant wait for the new electronics to arrive. Some say space is limited but from what I see everything has a place and routing wires will be the only boggle I will have. My soldering skills are somewhat novice but I am sure I will manage. I havent seen many pix up on the forum showing wiring etc. So please upload your buggy with the shell off

Next purchase will be the Truggy (nitro)

it really depends on your driving conditions and the ammount of packs you are using.

the track we have here is pretty brutal on cars. we are talking 80 to 1.5 meter ramps that launch cars about 5 to 7 meters in air if you miss the jumps and no landing ramp on the other side so we replace bearings alot. usually the 8x14s I usually sell about 4 packs a weekend minimum and usually 1 or 2 full sets. we only damaged one large bearing on the pinion and the other one gives out qucikly as well. 2 - 3 a weekend.

if the track is not rough they will last longer with out problems. Our track basically has a diet based on RC cars.

Has anyone installed longer M3 screws and locknuts on the shock towers at the 4 camber link mounting holes? I used thread lock when I built the car and had a screw come out within the first few races.

Yes that's a must

we use m3x25 then use a locknut on the other had to keep things together. I dont use locktide on that screw. just make sure your lock nut is in good shape.

I am really enjoying my Serpent. Thanks for the great buggy. I am the only one in town, all the rest are losi and asc.

Congrats on the win!

Hoobywing 150A not going to fit is it?
Size: 58mm(L) * 46.5mm(W) * 35mm(H).

Anyone done it and with what mod?

I just wont to say what a nice piece the motor mount is, I'm going to use it in a ofna nexx8 build.
