I think 3 is the wrong way, need to raise roll center, not lower it. 1 on the tower raises.

Got your email I'll send one off. Don't start changing multi things around. You will get lost you won't know what works. Get a good base setup, then make one setup change then run it. Use the same tires your planning to race on practice day for testing.

Read the JQ tuning guide it very informative. I run CSI pistons so my shock setup will be very different. Also if your squirreled try turning down your epa on your radio a tad if your running on a loss track.

Chicky posted his lcrc setup. Make sure you use f10 m12 r6 on the diffs he made a mistake on the sheet. For the front csi blue pistons take kyosho 16mm csi blue pistons and drill the center hole out to 3mm. On the rear take a set of 8 hole conical pistons and drill out 4 1.3mm holes so drill every other hole. Any other questions direct them to chicky!

I heard this month. I like the look of it, I think well worth the wait.

Is anyone else running a castle 2200kv in their serpents? I'm curious of gearing and torque settings. and center diff fluid.

Remember Dave, most have the V2 internal diff gears so it is hard to compare. Probably 10 on the old gears, just have to go by feel though. If the car is really squirrlley go lower.

I think it is on Serpents website. It is one of the partially pre painted ones for now. I am sure a clear one will follow.

I don't use the rear body mount. I cut all if the back away that wraps around and use Velcro to hold the body in back and the one front body clip. Works awesome, let's a little more air flow thru and you never crack the body anymore due to chassis flex

Those big flat battery tray side are a perfect spot for some Velcro
