Serpent 811E Buggy Thread

The inner toe block on the rear has a protruding diameter that goes into the plastic diff. The diff has a round counter bore that the toe block nub inserts into. Then you run the screw thru to hold it all together.
If I have the wrong inserts for the toe block, does that mean the setup sheet that came with this buggy is wrong? I have not built to many kits in my life so I apologize.

Hey guys do I have a problem????? I noticed with the servo hooked up if I manually move the steering to the left all is good. If I move it to the right the servo saver brings it back to center. Is this right or did I do something wrong???

Has anyone tried the firm servo saver spring on this car yet? The kit spring feels a little soft. I finally got 2 packs through my car last night and was impressed for a quick shake down. The car jumps and lands very smooth.

Race report:
With 2 practice sessions under my belt I ran my new 811E at the RC PRO nationals in Houston Texas the last 4 days. Coming from a Mugen mbx6e I felt the car was instantly as good out of the box as the mugen since my 1st practice session had me doing identical lap times. I only adjusted the center diff to 7k and went up 2 lvls on the springs in front and down 2 lvls in the rear.
It handled the rough better than my mugen and I could take corners faster as well as recover from undershooting jump landings. The proof came in the race results. About 4 other guys I have been racing around the state who had been kicking my ass when I drove the mugen were now eating my dust at this last race. I used to get laped by these guys on 10min mains and now I was doing the lapping! TY Serpent! I'm loving it!
