ahh i thought that it was the similer set up to the way the centre unit comes out of the BJ4WE and S4. then you lift the rear Drive shaft up then obviously then the thumb screws come off to relese the cells

You might be right you knowm but there is a quick fix if needed;)

definatly lee, personally if theres a problem with a car screaming and smoking and theres a safe way of killing the power by un-pluggin the car via corallys that tool issue cant really be a problem ?

i mean whos gonna try to take burning cells out of a car ??

Yeah if a car was about to go pop i wouldnt be trying to pull cells out of it even if its body clips, it would be going in the nearest hedge:)

yup...

BUSH IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER :lol: ....

never in wars LOL

good job they white then!!! hahaha :lol:

i blame my shite eye sight.. :lol: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH !

think that rule is connections to the batters ie soldering direct or gold tube deans;)

I have had confirmation from Mr Worsley on the rule.

It has been reworded if you look at the EB cell list again. It means the cells must be able to be disconnected without tools, i.e. a connector, not removed from the car.

oww hoo
Dear mister Latham,

As you probably saw at our website we are very pleased to inform you that we are finally ready to start shipping the much anticipated Aero A-one 4wd car (winner of the Belgian Grand-prix and the 2007 BRCA UK National series). You were with the first 30 people to register at our pre-order list and so you get the opportunity to get one of the first 30 cars! To make sure you can have your car as soon as possible the fastest way to get one is to mail us back you are still interested. We know we’ve already asked for your address on the pre-order list but to be sure we ask you to check your details again and we would like you to confirm that all the details are correct.

Cool, i hope every one does email them back evan if they dont want it

Oh there's no reason why either car is better than the other. I just seem to have a knack of not being able to tighten screws enough at the moment and I can deal with my motor becoming unmeshed but not my whole drive train flying out of the car because i have been a numpty :)

I forogt to put this on my post but edited it to suit about two seconds later. I am all for a motor not moving in and out as the weight of the motor stays exactly where it was designed to be.

does anybody think though that moving the drive train will affect the handleing of the car?

I dont think so, if you think about it you are only moving a spur and slipper unit 5mm either way max, it weighs a lot less than a motor im sure;)

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but at the euros the durango had the very same messing system.
so i would think that the serpent may have the exact same system,
i don't know this from fact, I'm guessing that gerd made the original, and both cars may have the very same system
sounds reasonable to me i hope someone from serpent can deny or confirm this .

You can see slotted motor mounting holes on the Serpent so I'm assuming they've done away with the movable spur idea.

well spotted ..
you can see clearly in this pic the slotted motor mount

Robbiej, in theory/on paper, changing the angle of the centre driveshafts will have a small effect on the drive train - on the torque reaction, and it's general efficiency. However, that effect will be so tiny i'd be fairly confident that no one will be able to notice that difference. The effect is probably a little bigger with those blades on the driveshafts, but it's still small. In fairness, moving the motor would have an effect as well, and i suspect moving the transmission is a smaller change.

Cheers for that explanation MattW, I just had a vision of that thing at the science museum with a gyroscope and a moving platform. Oh and good win on sunday as well mate :)

i wonder if i could do that to my s4 motor mount where the screws can always stay in the motor, not just the bottom one

lee are they plastic ? .....
