Out of the box the SRX8T-e runs 350 cst front, 350 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 SRX8T-e come with?

The kit springs are 5.0 lb Blue (#600403) front, 3.6 lb Blue (#600864) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.

What diff fluid does the Serpent SRX8T-e come with?

The kit diff fluid is 7,000 cst front, 7,000 cst center, 5,000 cst rear. Thicker front adds steering on power; thicker center sends more drive rearward; thicker rear stabilizes the car under throttle.
