SERPENT 811 Cobra-BE won 2012 Tasmania State Title

“Quick summary from weekend racing Tasmania EP Off Road State Title

The entire event went perfect for me only dropped one race from 6 qualifies due to lapper issues. I TQ and won all three legs of the A mains finals. Also broke the track record for EP by over a second, so to date I have only lost 1 final since owning this car, was its first race and placed third… and no mechanical failures. We also run 15 min finals in our local event so it is a good sign of a durable buggy. It was also the first race for me running the new LRP IX8,and SWEEP tyres and neither could be faulted.

Tech-tip: Diff Organizing 411 / 811 / 733 / universal

Diff Organizing

With the introduction of gear diffs to 1/10 ep Touring cars I suddenly found myself with a lot of diffs sitting in my pit box.  It is convenient to have more than 2 diffs (I have 6) as gear diffs take quite a longer time to rebuild compared to the ball diffs.  And once they are build finding which has 1000 and which one is 1200 is almost impossible.

Well,  I decided to end the confusion in my Pitbox and started marking my Diffs.  Permanent marker is an option but with oil and ever changing diff oils it becomes caos after a while.  So I started carving marks on my diffs.

I then created an Excel sheet incase I forgot what I put in them.  You can protect this using PVC coating then you can mark and write on it with permanent marker.
