Red RC Pro Tips with Michael Salven - Part 1

Serpent chief designer and former World and European Champion Michael Salven is the subject of Red RC's second series of Pro Tips. In this five part how-to, the German runs us through the preparation of his Serpent 966, this episode focusing on the drive shafts, gearbox and giving other helpful tips along the way. The remaining videos in this series will show how to build the Serpent's shock absorbers, setup the perfect clutch as well as setup and tweak the chassis ready for racing.

Awesome, finally someone is doing videos on how to work and set-up an 1/8 scale on-road car, i fly heli's and have always seen good videos on set up and all. I have always wanted to do the 1/8 scale on-road thing but was a little afraid i recently bought a MRX-4X and this video is PERFECT! Thanks Mr. Salven and REDRC!
