This section of the RcTek site covers tips and modifications that can be made to the Serpent Veteq 1/8th scale radio controlled model car.
Apparently the alignment of the rear drive pulleys can make the drive belt not run centrally. This can be corrected by performing the simple modification submitted to us by John Russell. |

| The Problem |
Shown right is a drawing of the two speed shaft (part # 901610) with the brake/pulley adapter (part # 9614) in place.
The square driving peg on the two speed shaft does not sit into the bottom of the machined slot in the brake/pulley adapter as it is round and therefore holds the pulley off to one side. |
|
| The Solution |
|
|
It is relatively straightforward to file the bottom of the slot in the brake/pulley adapter so that it is located further across the shaft.
The pulley will then be in the right place to line up with the rear axle pulley (part # 909372). Be careful to only remove enough metal in order to line up the pulleys, or you will create more problems for yourself. |
| Summary |
| Many thanks to John Russell for submitting this tip. Please feel free to submit any radio controlled model car tips you have that may help your fellow racers. |
