Summary of Contents for Serpent F110

  • Page 1 THE BUILD STARTS...
  • Page 2 I have been waiting for over a year now, for the release of the F-110 but SERPENT held off the release to do extensive testing to make sure the F1 was as near perfect as could be. Below is a short wrap up of the past year...
  • Page 3 Germany has raced the Serpent F110 proto- type since the 2nd round of the ETS championship, and has won the 2012-2013 ETS title. The F110 prototype was also used at the TITC in Thailand with great success, and Team-driver...
  • Page 4 SERPENT web page, easily read with full colour pictures of the processes you re undertaking. I have built all the SERPENT Off Road Range 811T, 811B, 811Be and never have I come across any mishaps with installing or with any parts...
  • Page 5 After letting it dry completely it was time to start putting it together. The next step was to start with the front suspension components. There are 3 different height spacers 1, 2 and 4mm this will give you a various range of ride heights, easy to adjust simply by loosening the two holding screws removing or adding spacers then re-tighten...
  • Page 6 Servo brace - the two bottom servo tabs of your servo need to be removed I cut them off with a hack saw then smoothed it off with the dremal.
  • Page 7 When fitting the king pin use a 1.5mm tool in the end of the king pin and screw into the steering block, the manual doesn t mention this, don t want you using pliers or similar as this will damage the pin and bind the spring movement.
  • Page 8 SCREW BACK INTO THE STEERING BLOCK ELIMINATES A LOT OF PAINFUL FAILURES, NO LOST E-CLIPS OR SPRINGS. Next is the rear pod and wing, I attached the factory wing for the build but I ll use the 3 Racing FGX wings as they were laying around may as well put them to use as they fit, just need to place an extra 3mm spacer so the wing mount clears the rear wing CF mounting brace...
  • Page 9 Above: Rear pod and factory wing ready to fit to chassis. Below: fitted with the now standard pivot ball system.
  • Page 10 The rear axle supports for the top deck and side spring installations were next on the agenda. The side springs are to be set at approximately 3mm down as that is where mine worked well. The manual has them tight against the top plate.
  • Page 11 Centre spring mount, Mono shock spring, body posts and aerial are next and the rolling chassis of the SERPENT F-110 is nearly done. With the spring piston I went with the two hole, the factory one is the 1 hole.
  • Page 12 Front wing is next. The one shown fitted is the low down force type. (THERE ARE 2 FRONT WINGS SUPPLIED BUY SERPENT IN THE KIT, LOW AND HIGH DOWNFORCE MADE OF LEXAN SO THEY NEED TO BE CUT OUT CAREFULLY AND PAINTED WITH YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH)
  • Page 13 The following picture shows the CF ESC and receiver plates that attach to the side, I chose not use them as I ll be using the Shorty battery and there is no need for them with plenty of room to put electrics on the chassis After all the Electrics, motor and Wheels are on the F-110 is ready for the next meeting which happens to be the VIC CUP F1 SERIES Round 3.
  • Page 15 Now looking at the top deck it seems too much to remove the battery, when the spring and wiring are in place, this question has been asked on forums a few times since its release. In the previous picture you can sort of see why the questions were asked It does seem to be locked away and a headache to change, but looks can be deceiving.
  • Page 16 Reverse process to refit battery Now, to give you all a small rundown of what bodies will fit the SERPENT F110. · All Tamiya F104 body kits fit but may need some slight alterations in the rear pod area · TRG bodies and wings fit (in Australia these can be sourced through http://topracing.net.au/shop/index.p...ewCat&catId=33...
  • Page 17 · Tamiya F103 bodies may be too bulky in the rear but that s just a visual preference I have. As for any other bodies on the market try and see is all I can say. #HINT: I MOVED THE FRONT BODY POST TO GET MORE CLEARANCE OVER THE SERVO AREA.
  • Page 18 The body posts are cut where the body sits when all squared up. There are also four different types of nose cones and 2 different rear air dam wings, not shown. I like the look it gives to the SERPENT F1.
  • Page 19 Photos of a few different wiring jobs follow to give you an idea. Total weight for my race F110 is 1093gr great race weight.
  • Page 21 Enjoy your build and as usual -DON T RUSH TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE - HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED BEFORE YOU START. NOTHING IS WORSE THAN WAITING FOR SOMETHING HALF WAY THROUGH A BUILD - READ AND STUDY EACH STEP CAREFULLY - THINGS TO HAVE FOR SPARES IN YOUR PIT BAG * Front arm components lower and upper * Spring sets...
  • Page 22 * Spare rod ends (Being honest here, they do seem on the brittle side, excessive force could crack them, and they may wear quicker due to the hard feel of them, time will tell) * Front lexan wings if you re going to use them, lexan wings can be torn up or off in race conditions The build has been finished AND it was a mission.
  • Page 23 RACE DAY The first race was on Sunday 04/08/13 and finishing the night before had left me with the 13t as the motor as I was too tired the night before to put in the new HOBBYWING, picture in while building below. Last year motors were open using a handicap system and my 13t motor would have simply given me a 2 point penalty.
  • Page 24 The SERPENT held its own on a damp cold track; I was very impressed with its performance especially coming straight off the work bench onto the track. There were some screws that worked themselves loose and I had a wayward e-clip release the front spring, BUT THAT S RACING NOT THE PRODUCT.
  • Page 25 All in all I was very pleased with the first run and look forward to next weekend at TFTR I ll update any changes I make or things I come across; you can also follow the SERPENT F1 forums and general F1 information on these sites below, http://www.rctech.net/forum/australian-racing/748956-serpents-new-f- 110-a.html...
