the stock rear toe block is 600155 and that will give you between 2deg. up to 4deg. of toe in, and there is an option low roll center to that, and that number is 600267. And for the anti squat plate, that is the one in the front of the rear diffcase. The stock piece is number 600156, that one will give you between 0deg. and 2deg of anti squat. The other option to that one is number 600265, and that one will give you from 2.5 to 4deg of anti squat. There are downloadable sheets of this on serpents site

Lol... car build was great. One small problem. I have a orion r8 pro and a trinity r8 1950kv motor. And.... the motor doesn't fit and the esc is hugging for dear life. As some may imagine I'm pretty upset. But the show must go on. What combos are you guys running?

sorry to hear you made that so called mistake. I havent read anything about guys using the orion stuff since the late Porkchop tried it early on in this car. I think guys are using hobbywing stuff with tightness. I am using Tekin esc and motor with great fitment.

I run the Hobbywing 150 which is the same size and form factor as the Orion and was easily able to make it fit but I do use the lightweight electronic tray (I didn't try it with the stock). I'll try to post a picture later today.

I need some help.. can someone that has a set up buggy get me some measurements. I broke 2 ball joints on the front end due to the cold weather, so i had to remove them from the turn buckles. I have a digital caliper and went by the measurements given in the manual. However my front wheels look like they are both pointed outward severly. can someone give me a good set of measurements to start with for the steering and camber turnbuckles. I would really appreciate it.

THe 1950 is a truggy motor I think which would explain the larger size. If the gen2 is a 1900 you should be fine.

Interesting. I run the ESC 90* off from you. It looks like you split the front and rear of the top deck into 2 pieces. I was unsure what that would do to the flex, not that connecting it on the one side does a lot. Just seemed cutting it in half might have unintended consequences. Your wiring comes out a lot cleaner then mine, but I am also using deans batteries (mostly for reliability) and 10ga all the way around.

Additionally, my transponder is on the chassis under the front drive shaft, extra wiring is coiled under the ESC mount.
