I do wait for the KHM too...
But here is the fact, that Serpent is release the SS version (to catch up to the NS technology) in less than 3 month right after they releasing the MCP version(still base on RS).
So I think they will not releasing the KHM shortly.
Beside that the RR(long stroke) is coming..

The only thing that i hope is that crystal does not touch the throtle servo..
Thanks

Have you seen the xtal extestions? Basically they are just a short wire that plugs into the RX and you then have the xtal plugging into the end of it. I'll find a pic. But if you got your hands on one, you might be able to trim the section of the reciever that wraps around the xtal. That way you should be able to turn the rx around and allow it to be closer to the mount, without the xtal hitting the servo.

I guess you hold the chassis down and with the other hand tried to pull the shock tower backward or twist it.
That force is never on the shock tower. What you are doing does not happen during driving so it is not an issue.
I have never seen the HPI car you mention so I don't know what the problem with that car is.

I'm not so sure that the car will not see this....if one shock is loaded and the other is not ie. going around a corner, then the shock tower will see a similar twisting effect.
What you effectively end up with is the rear shocks are softer...but this softness is not entirely controlled by the springs.
In most cars...you would try to have the most rigid platform to mount the shocks so that all the suspension work is done by the suspension and not but the unpredictable gearbox flex.
Anyway, time will tell...if Serpent does not modify this area with options then we will all know it is part of the design.

I tried this crystal extension years ago- I think in either my old Serpent Veteq or an older Impulse Pro. I didn't much care for it. I lost the reciever crystal a few times as it seemed to me that the fit of the crystal in the adaptor was a little bit loose.
