If some one is looking for setups, there is some here: http://site.petitrc.com/reglages/ser...Serpent4X.html

I am running 17.5 blinky on a medium size indoor carpet track running jack blues. Anyone have a good recommendation for a starting fdr.

Does anyone have a spare heave damper they want to sell? Thanks.

Medium I'd say 4.20-4.0. I'm on a small track and way down at 4.59. Hats with a new actinium v2.

Could anyone tell me if this car run well in blinky class on carpet track?

Best regards

Its more than capable, maybe one of the best cars out there! It placed 6th at the US indoor champs in stock tc, 4th and 5th in pro stock and won open stock at the Stock Wars in December.

I love the car for blinky 17.5 and USGT. It is very consistent and reacts well to changes.
I think the design is the coolest by far, and it's been very durable!

I watched the YouTube videos from David Ehrbar. Wow, very nice design that makes a ton of sense.

Hi everyone just wanted to provide some feedback on the Alu Chassis from Mc Factory since I ran it this weekend in Modified and 17.5..

The two big differences with the stock chassis is that it's much stiffer and a little heavier (by 15g). Both of these characteristics are an advantage on high grip carpet. For the extra weight, I compensated with Aluminum screws on top (all the ones screwing downwards). One of the key things here is that some weight was transferred down under the Center of Gravity of the car giving it different roll characteristics.

The main differences on the track are faster rotation overall and the car enters more agressively into the corners.

This is definitely a great option for Carpet Tracks...

Edit: I think it calls for a slightly softer suspension setup. I'll test more things this weekend.

Thanks dude, im glad it worked well for you.. i have more time by far making the 4X plates than anything else.

You got it man.. Thanks for making great products!

Yeah the videos really helped understand just how easy the car is to work on and setup. I absolutely LOVE my 4x. Its the best TC I've ever driven and had the pleasure to work on.

Gents,

Finished the build, no issues.

I did go back and decrease the pullrod rod length from 15.5mm to 15mm to get the ride height right in the middle of the range I wanted.

What is the result in changing the chassis connecting rods?

Hi! If you mean the rods that are horizontal/parallel to chassis, the result would be the same. They are just harder to reach.

Thanks Joe...

My solution was easier, I'm an idiot.

I couldn't figure out why ride height at the front of the car was exactly 1mm off the rear, with all dimensions being the same. I switched heave shocks rear to front and back again...no dice, the front sat 1mm lower than the rear.

Could only be one thing...

In walking around the manual, I made the front horizontal pushrods 15mm rather than the specified 14mm...just missed it - 1mm off.

Perfect! Ride height and tweak are spot on. Geez...
