See how you feel when you've raced with it Nasir, I guess your one is balanced to an extent but what do the lipo's weigh compared to all the gubbins the other side ?
Also are they doing battery changes on them yet or is it just the obligatory go into the pits as if you were a nitro. You can run it for what 18 mins ? Have you timed that yet ? |

The run time will also depend on what kV rating your motor is, I see from your build thread you are using CC stuff but no mention of the motor rating.
The other trouble of using 1 4S battery is your kinda restricted in what you can buy in hard case, some people seem to use 2 x 2S stick packs linked together then you can easily get higher mAh ratings to get the longer run times. There was a table on rctech.net that gave rough battery consumption data in mAh per minute, if you confirm what kV rating your motor is I'll try and find it. |

If you look in the 1/8th Electric off road section you will find a link and attachement to help select the right kV motor and cells.
From this table it looks like you will get approx 15 minutes run time with those cells and motor, but this can obviouslyh change with gearing/track/driving style etc. |

As promised....
I use a racers edge alu servo alonng with one of those flat head servo screws slightly filed down and an m3 nut to hold it all together.... works a treat! As you can see there is ample clearance either side, you need the 5mm spacers on the servo to bring it forward to clear the servo mount. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7152/6...1e442e97_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7152/6...86bdc9c2_z.jpg |
But it's not straight in line with the steering arm like the original is, does this give any issues? I wonder how the official Serpent fits?
Jimmy let you back on them. |

Have you run the Serpent in anger yet, if so how does it run? Some pics of the shell would also be nice. It would also be nice to hear how much run time you get from those Orion lipo's, I'm running 5800mAh Intellects and was going to get a pair with higher capacity for finals etc.
I've got some pictures from my build, was thinking of posting them on here but gonna wait till I've run it first. |

Defo post some pictures for us fella! :thumbsup: I "SHOULD" get 23 mins from them, but I need to gear it down to 15t and may help a little. :confused: |
Did you have any trouble with the shock pistons? Mine were a bit tight and needed to be sanded down a bit with 800 grit wet and dry until they were smooth in the shock bodies.
