    Do you need to wash out the grease first

  • @redrocketracing7617
    @redrocketracing761720 сағат бұрын

    @bhansen9468 YES! I used paper towels, cotton swabs and blew out with compressed air. Grease will lessen the viscosity of whatever oil you put in.

    I just ordered the same serpent truggy and supposed to get it this Thursday. Im excited because it looks awesome, has great reviews and was less than $400 shipped but I also hear a lot about the lack of parts availability. Regardless, great video and hope to see more videos on the Serpent truggy in the future.

  • @redrocketracing7617
    @redrocketracing76175 ай бұрын

    It's a nice truck! Plenty of power. A little heavy but that leads to sturdiness. Check out DeSoto.com for Serpent parts. You should be able to find parts for this. My 811bE? Not so much. Good luck man. 👍

  • @redrocketracing7617
    @redrocketracing76175 ай бұрын

    I do not have a code number off hand but if you search for 1/10 scale rod ends TLR on ebay or amazon, they should pull up. They are a little tight and a bitch to get on, but once they are on they wont come off. There is a tool you can buy to make it a little easier, but it will scuff them a bit.

Best regards man and good luck with the races!

    Yo! So we got TLR 1/10 scale rod ends [ebay] Carbon fiber kit [makerfire.com] You will need a front kickup plate for the kit to work. On ebay there's a guy selling 3d prints. Look up 104002 front kickup plate. They are white. LOSI 1/10 Soft Springs Change Shock oil to 35wt to compensate I have a Castle Mamba X in there now...but honestly could be okay with stock on 2 or 3s Spektrum SR135 Rcvr Generic servo for now Any aluminum servo saver on ebay would work. Search for 104002 servo saver Watch my video on battery mod tray. Super simple to allow for shorty packs. Pro line buggy wing Be sure to pull all diffs out, clean, and use diff oil Get a screw kit and replace them all with hexes. Will make life much easier. The chinese screws strip easily. Good luck man!

    ​@cwatson42785 backflip LP tires, 50/200/30 diff oils. Removed swaybars, shocks/suspension is fairly stock..replaced busted pistons as needed & maybe thicker shock oil but can't remember weight. Heavier oils drastically improve acceleration & throttle control. I'm hitting big air-triple backflips. Tried a few quad backflips but haven't landed cleanly 👍🏾

    First, I need to use the GoPro app more 😄 I needed to reformat which I had forgotten how to do. Got it done though. Bluetooth wouldnt connect to the app at all. Figured out you have to delete the bluetooth connection on your phone and reconnect. Also found out the GoPro purposely chops up videos at around 4.5 to 5 mins. Apparently its a failsafe if the camera has an issue you won't lose a bunch of footage. If only I could figure out the overheating part 🤔
