Serpent 720 Building Tips

ZZ Hobby

 

 

  • 720 uses same length shocks for both front and rear.  Already marked on my shock of how much weight oil should be used.
 
  • You may have to use a hinge pin (not a drill bit) to enlarge the hole with a Dremel at the A-arm and anti-roll bar mount in order to ensure the smoothness of the front suspension.
  • The reason for using the hinge pin instead of a drill bit is to make sure a more precise measurement without binding. 
  • Most option parts of S710 can be used in 720 as well, for example, Aluminum Anti-Roll Bar and the front big bumper.
  • The front suspension part is so easy to install. 
  • Just follow the track and push the upper arm in.
  • Once it's installed, and it's easy to take it out too.
  • I changed one-way bearing instead of the gear diff.
  • Before you screw in each hole, better use a few drops of bearing oil, especially the screw hole in all A-arm.
  • This is the brake part in 720.
  • Better use (6mm x 0.8mm x 0.3mm) shim between the E-clip, otherwise it will be too loose in brake shaft.
  • Also you need to shave down the set screw a bit  (See picture below), otherwise the set screw will be too sharp and damage the chassis.
  • As shown
  • The rear part is also very easy to take it out.
 
  • You need to polish all metal ball before you install the ball joint in rear anti-roll bar.
  • Cool!!
  • When you assemble the gas tank, make sure it fits to the radio plate.
  • Drill the small hole in receiver holder.
  • Better use the option anti-roll bar, as picture shown.  Part#:803169
  • Use sand paper to shave down the white spacer, otherwise the ball bearing will be too wide and will not fit the belt. 
  That's all for now, if you have any questions to build S720, you can come to ZZ hobby at  anytime.during working hours!!  Thanks! Enjoy to build this car.
