i’ve been running without the grub screws on the clutch shoes. the shifting point is a lot more aggresive, the downside is the 2nd gear engagement needs to be setup correctly so it wont shift in the middle of a turn.

@mustafa – He means you need to replace the two white gearbox shoes more often if you don’t use the 2 small grub screws.

I have a question. In 2 speed explanation, he says that he doesnt use the little capscrews, and adds ” if you dont use the screws, you have to replace them all unfortunately.” What does he mean by “them” ? Thanks

MS should have included his own Pro Tips in every Serpent car instruction manual.

the oil he used was from Serpent bottles before
Premium Lube 20ml (transmission) (#1683)

He was using xceed bottle which I think is the same thing.

Thanks to Oisin and Michael Salven for the great video.
Can anyone tell me what type of grease he is using on his driveshaft joints and pins?
Thanks
