Serpent 811-Be Build Thread
As the new Serpent 811-Be is about to arrive, and as ive been asked by a few to do a build blog I though I may as well do one, especially as the serpent is rather unheard of on UK tracks it be good to let you all know what I think of this kit during the build process.
First of all those who havent seen the serpent yet, take a look here - http://www.serpent.com/product/600004 The Serpent is due for delivery today (Hopefully I wont miss it as im out later  ) I thought id start with a build area to keep its as easy as possible to access everything I need. Ive also included some of the electrics going in the kit.I will apologise right now as the camera used is Via an Iphone as my Canon is not available right now.

Instruction Manual is a full colour booklet and is very clear and easy to follow.
The chassis is VERY nice indeed and finished off extremely well! Included are 2 pages of decals and a blank setup sheet to photocopy.

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.
