it looks like the spur is slightly offset to the right as you look at it in pic ?? |
Added a couple more photos :)

It is wraggy, it makes no dfference, think of the losi 8:thumbsup:

Great to see another 4wd car on the market. Great for RC Racing and a variety to choose from.

Looks like it is held in position by that sliding plate on the top motor screw. Could be interesting to see one of these jump with a small pinion on it :) Actually it's not a bad idea, it means that the weight from the motor stays static when you adjust the mesh. Lateral thinking! :) |

surely a fixed motor position is even better? unless there's a downside that's not been mentioned.
|
The car comes with an 87t spur - the photo was taken whilst testing an 81t spur, which is why the centre shafts are to one side slightly. With the kit supplied spur gear you'd have a pretty much straight line from one end to the other.
To adjust the mesh of the pinion, you loosen 2 screws and slide the centre mount before tightening it all down. |
Why go to the expense of making own brand shocks if they are clones of Losi shocks, why not just use Losi shocks?
Also how do you get to the nuts on the top of the two screws that mount the centre bulkheads to the chassis if you want to adjust the mesh when all your electrics are installed :confused: The blades are good, I wish more cars used them :thumbsup: |
they are even larger diameter than losi shocks I think and despite the passing similarity on the outside, they are different inside apparently
Do you mean the square nuts that press against the chassis and don't need touching with tools? |
nice especially the motor mount,the square screw reminds me of meccano sure the tool of that would fit if nessersary
|
I really like how they have put extra holes in the driveshaft where the pins go. After a while when they begin to wear no need to buy a new shaft just go to the other hole. Nice touch.
|
the motor is a fixed weight, so keeping it in one position is better, the spur/slipper is in the center and far less affects the chassis handling and balance.
Bigger bore shocks are a new thing in Nitro, and there does seem to be an advantage. I have to say though, the packaging of electrics in the Serpent seems more tidy. |

As Jimmy says, the square nuts are there to lock against the side of the chassis. all you have to do to adjust the mesh is losen 2 screws under the chassis and slide the spur into position. The great thing is that when you are doing motor maintenance, you will not mess up you mesh. |
