Back With The Serpent SRX8GT

[@electricnitrorc]

Nice run with the Serpent 👍 Great tune 🙂

Thanks for watching!!!! It’s been a few weeks since I ran a nitro. I had to get it in before the rain starts up again🫡

The stock wheel n tire on this car I love the compound can’t find it anymore anywhere but Sweep had them at one time

[@hobbymanrc79]

@@MikeKing-t9i Thanks for tuning in. Yea, these wheels and tires are good. They are bigger than GRP rims to. Thought I could run GRP on the Serpent but they are to small. Bout to check the Serpent web site to see if they have more🫡

YOOO UR WHIP IS RIPPING!!! I just got mine and am looking for the 2 cm lower engine mount to starter box it. Haven't found it you have any suggestions?

[@hobbymanrc79]

Thanks for tuning in!!! Yea, man I’m really enjoying this Serpent. I was actually looking for the same mount a as you so I can get rid of the pull start. I was looking on the Serpent web site but haven’t found one yet. I believe they have them. I going to ask around in the Facebook groups to see if anyone can help with some info🫡

[@MrCaulkdiesel]

@@hobbymanrc79 Right on I'll do the same and let you know if I find something compatible.

I have the same RTR serpent but with the novarossi orange head would the LRP .21 pull start be faster ?

[@hobbymanrc79]

@@2259alfie Thanks for tuning in! To be honest , I don’t know if the LRP will be faster. If you can, check the specs to see what the max rpm is for both of the engines.

[@2259alfie]

What’s the rpm on your srx8 engine

[@hobbymanrc79]

Sorry I don’t have that info bro. I never looked it up.

[@MrCaulkdiesel]

Do you use 25% or 30% I've been running mine on 30% vp fuel and it runs hot AF!

[@hobbymanrc79]

I’ve been running 25% nitro 9% oil Bones Brew. I recently purchased some VP 20% that I plan on running soon. I’m no expert on tuning but I think when you run 30%, you have to run a richer tune than when running 25% and 20%. I also started using cold glow plugs and they have been lasting way longer. In fact, I’m still using the first cold glow plug I switched to.
