Rebuilt the diff. Great to get in and get more understanding. Easy to understand, seemed very modern.



Building along side the aluminum car is my runner using as many used parts as possible:





Here are the RPS graphite in fantastic condition. Not to be used on the runner



Taking this on in my spare time is incredibly different from my usual vintage projects. My rc10t is a car i run week in week out, never being without spares. The Serpent is fantastic! But I'm out of my "vintage" comforsrt zone and is demanding my patience and respect. It's going slow, but I'm happy to take this as a learning experience for both 1/8 onroad and vintage. Thanks for watching

Tommy was so kind to give me the opportunity to build my own RPS conversion, and permitted me to post the photos of the progress in his thread. So here goes!
Lower chassis plate is easy to replace, as is the radioplate. The rear stiffener however is a bit more work, because I had to replace the inner steel brakeliner with another one...the original one sticks out and is in the way of the brace. So i used 3 of the smaller identical brakeliners. Still need to replace the rear shocks.
The donor car was a new built Quattro 4wd that I've had for a few years. Never driven.

The car was a local team drivers and was built with the rps conversion, delta shocks. I cant remember his name but I think it was Jim Slivay not sure.... in any case it's ben one of my favorite things for some time...
