Thanks so much for taking your time to help, brother. Really appreciated over here, I am sure I'll be back soon with more questions in the near future. 🤣👍

With those screws, tihgren them just enough to come on contact with the OD of the bearing. You don't want to hinder the bearing.

What are you guys running for clay loose track on the diffs? Is 5-7-3 too loose?

Also on the suspension inserts, 2U-2D for front and 6U-6D rear seem to be ok?
Thanks

Hi,
Has anyone tried to fit the srx8 wishbones on the 811 2.1?

I have not seen anyone try yet, no.

Chad Millikan

From looking at the manuals, it looks possible. Inner hinge pins are the same and outer are same on rears, also same length driveshafts .Just use the srx8 casters and steering block

On the V2 uprights SER600476, which is left and which is right? On the 2.2 pdf they say to use the right on the left side of the car and the left on the right.

As these have no markings, which is which?

I also took measurements between the 811 vs SRX8 wishbones. I do not think they would work, unless you manage to file enough on the SRX8 to match the 811
















Sorry for the bad light on some of these pictures, but you can see the difference on the mounting points. Personally I do not think it is worth going through all that trouble in trying to make them fit.

Looking at the pictures its a no brainer. Not worth the effort. Thanks a lot Sebtarta for pictures and go through! Doc

The flatter side goes towards the front for the 2.2 . Has nothing to do with hub location, you're just moving the camber link forward so that it doesn't touch the shock

If it would stop raining during the weekend and rain during the week, I might be able to run the car!

Well I managed to drive the car on Sunday. YAY It was fun, running like a champ. Many crashes, no injuries. Any recommendations on clutch springs for clay low grip?


Does anyone have any 13T (non)vented clutches to off load? If so let me know, thank you

I did something last night...So I got fed up in cutting the lexan for the mud guards. I went ahead and bought some DE Racing Mud Guards for an HB



Had to make the hole for the screw that matches out suspension arms, fit [AceVentura]Like A Glove[/AceVentura]




These fit the SRX8 cars as well.
I added some stickers for the extra 2.5s quicker until I roll over and crash and the bling factor is gone.

The truggy comes stock with mud guards... you think they would've done them for the buggy too! I don't like the lexan on my SRX8e. Crack way too easily.

Yes, I got fed up buying the lexan mudguards for both buggies, 811 Cobra and SRX8e. Decided to try these and worked great. Bought 3 more sets, to have as backup. I hope not to have to use these at all. Same price as the Serpent lexan ones as well.

They fit the SRX8e as well with no issues.
