Hi - I have heard of this before - usually its because the tip has not be pushed in hard enough to make contact - failing that, I suggest you return to your retailer. It will be the first one I have heard fail though - Good luck

@@TonyEvdoka Thank you! I will try pushing it in even more. Appreciate it

I have not had the experience with them as distribution in the UK is poor to say the least - I am sure they are nice too but without back up I would have hesitations

Hi. The kit thrust is of high quality and doesnt need replacement. I highly recommend it

Its low grip Astro 👍🏻

@@TonyEvdoka Oooooooo that's as planted as it could be then :))

@@thenameisrwac5239 well more grip could be introduced at a loss of some steering but it wouldnt be as quick at this track. Hope that helps

@@TonyEvdoka driving aggressive stagger ribs fronts on the rear motor on road and car steers (sort of?). Turning it 90 degrees? No problem. Turning slightly going straight? Swerves. How should I combat this lack of steering? Thanks Tony. Whens the next vid?

@@thenameisrwac5239 I would guess it's the wrong front tyre ... lol ... new videos coming soon ... I have been spending some time coaching so please excuse me

Hi Gav. The rear end can be found on the 2wd Gen3 build and yes i will do a build with the front too

@@TonyEvdoka sweet!

I haven't driven a rear motor for a long time but adding weight will help and make sure you have enough ride height for ground clearance

Hi. I think if the need is there for a ball diff, then front and rear would be my choice. The car has plenty of steering so that wouldn't be a concern of mine. Let us know if you do try though

At the moment the car is being used everywhere to get the feel and the neutral set up. From there on, its always with me ready to be raced 😉

Can't wait for the races! Side note, why do you think that serpent is not well known on youtube? There are very little videos on serpent products and it makes me a little sad. Driving a serpent rm myself and I'm easily destroying touring cars. What are your thoughts on the situation? Why isn't the serpent not well known? Prob not well known but not widely discussed

I am not sure if that's a good comment or a bad one but Serpent is overlooked and this car is just great :)

There is a set up now available for specifically that type of track as used by the designer. It can be found here www.serpent.com/xcart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=11556#product-details-tab-Setups

Thanks for the info. Have to make some big changes for hard packed dirt. Had to move shocks to outside and remove roll bar. Grabs nice and hard now into corners...grab throttle and off like a rocket. Have you had any issues with left front wheel (looking from rear ) coming loose? I have lost three wheel nuts. Have to really crank them on to secure.

If you are unsure of anything I would be happy to help

@@TonyEvdoka Car is together, just seems that everything is tight. I did ream the A-arms etc, but the biggest issue seems that all the ball ends are extremely tight, limiting g free movement.

It probably needs a few runs and everything frees up nicely. If not there are Titanium pivot ball options that really free it

My full set up coming very soon

Lol .... for the odd lap. 😉

It's a real pleasure to drive. Very easy. Look out for an email in the morning.

And as proved today, mega fast too

Hi - The belts and the tensioners are extremely easy to fit with no difficulties what so ever. Some have found the split lower front gearbox casing a little difficult to slot into the chassis. I used some sandpaper on the split joints to make sure no burrs. I then used a blunt flat screwdriver to push from the inside into the corners of the chassis slot. It was easy then :)

Hi. Have a look here. www.serpentuk.com/?s=Tx+lipo&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1

Hi. 12v

The company is not active any longer

Hi yah. Yes they would fit but its a different geometry for the shock tower and the shocks. The Gen3 tower will not fit. You would have to make a tower to fit the older car. Also the length of the shock shafts are different too.

@@TonyEvdoka Thank you very much for this detailed answer, thank you also for your great videos. I will take the arms of gen2 then. I am riding astroturf, do you think hard arms are a good option.

Hi Sylvain. Personally I would choose a harder wishbone than a softer one in higher grip conditions and surfaces. Low grip scenarios stick with the kit ones.

Hi yah Jamie - with great success may I add - stay safe mate and see you soon :)

Hey Tom - Loving your channel too mate - speak soon :)

@@TonyEvdoka Thanks buddy

Under normal circumstances I would delete a comment like this BUT I guess we all have opinions so I will allow!! I have been using ArrowMax tools for the last 7 years and never had a breakage or screws being rounded off. The Tungsten Steel tips are superb and fit perfectly. Make sure you have GENUINE ArrowMax tools and not the black gold copies circulating!!

Hi Derek. The Iron simply plugs into any power supply. My charger happens to have a power supply that I can connect external products to. Hope this helps

@@TonyEvdoka Thanks Tony! I just wondered if I could plug it directly into the power supply?

Take the adjusted all the way to the top before marking it - that way it will always be the same on all of them :)

@@TonyEvdoka oh see..just use the original adjuster came back to the place

The linkage is specifically for the Alpha fitment of engine and none of us have had any issues ....

@@TonyEvdoka No problem, I had problems with an OS and with a Reds engine and 2 good carbs. I asked Serpent directly and they told me that the leverage is higher when you mount the engine as you can see here. If you don't have any problems, OK, but you should note in the video that it is not built as Serpent and the SRX8 manual says and the possibility of carburetor clamps is increased. If you have other experience, ok, I can only communicate my and Serpent's experience. But basically, there are no advantages to mounting it that way.

The Truggy is obviously very similar and everything applies too :)
