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.

0,1,2,3 are for the front end , 4,5,6 are for the rear end. The front ones will be loose in the blocks if you use them in the rear. They are slightly smaller than the rear ones.

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.

I'm all but done buying used buggies from people. I invariably lose all that savings having to fix broken items. Even on cars that look nearly new, I've been screwed.

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!

I have just sold my RC8BE. I was looking at the ECO. Sounds like the Serpant is the way to go. Can anyone else share comparison between the RC8BE and the 811BE.
