Default S400 front drive/knuckle update.

This is a quick and very useful update for the current Serpent S400 and gives the car a big increase in turn in and stability. All parts are easy to purchase and will benefit this great car until the next update!





If you have any questions please just get in contact with myself any time via PM or email or from the contact page on my site. www.rabhobbies.com.au/estore/catalog/contact_us.php

Cheers

Ren


P.S. DOE in description is supposed to be FOR.

More pictures for the interested parties......SERPENT please take note!







These are JET Hobby alloy replacements for the S400 mated with the SPECR 416 CVDs.
All the alloy chassis parts in stock at "rabhobbies.com.au". The SPECR CVDs from Precision RC or ERG Racing.

Cheers and a happy new year from Australia.

Ren.

speedtechrc.com has the spec r universals in stock. what other parts are needed to use these? how nice are the C hubs you are using. i am currently in korea as a u.s. soldier and I am thinking about ordering a set and shipping is adventurous.

C Hubs are very well made and as shown in the pics have been a very clean fit on my S400. All that was required with the installation with the alloy knuckles were some .01 and .02 metric shims. The C Hubs were a direct fit to the car with no mods.....
The ball ends in the top of the C Hub is the genuine Serpent S400 kit item.

Cheers

With the Spec R CVD's so far so good but as stated by Spec R themselves these are not recommended for any motor under 11 turns.

Cheers
