Thats because the motor is fixed in two holes and you move the spur/slipper unit in an out to adjust the mesh.. After realising this I am after a Serpent now.



So you can see the nut at the bottom and the two holes for the motor screws. 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!

Why? Could you elaborate why you think the serpent is a better car than the aero.

[jimmy]

surely a fixed motor position is even better? unless there's a downside that's not been mentioned.

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

The blades are good, I wish more cars used them

[jimmy]

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?

Rich, they are not clones of losi shocks, they are slightly bigger diameter and the cartridges are also bigger and more robust. They really are very nice shocks, and so easy to get consistent!

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.

That thing looks HOT

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

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