Out of the box the SRX8 runs 500 cst front, 300 cst rear (Serpent oil), on 6 holes (#600818) front, 6 holes (#600818) rear pistons. That is the kit setup; you will need to adjust it for your track conditions. The RC Setup App can help dial it in.
What springs does the Serpent SRX8 come with?
The kit springs are 5.5 lb Green (#600859) front, 3.8 lb Purple (#600865) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.
What diff fluid does the Serpent SRX8 come with?
The kit diff fluid is 7,000 cst front, 7,000 cst center, 7,000 cst rear. Thicker front adds steering on power; thicker center sends more drive rearward; thicker rear stabilizes the car under throttle.
