Home Technical Information FAQ Tips & Tricks Site Map Forum Links  
  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.

Although the body posts on the rear body mounts on the Veteq are tall enough for you to move the body up (or down) this straightforward tip submitted by Bhajan Panesar provides much more rear downforce on the Veteq.

  The Modification
This modification simply involves changing the Veteq rear body mount support arms (part# 901324) for the Vector ones (part# 909342). As you can see in the image on the right the Vector ones are taller and so lift the rear of the body, thus creating more rear downforce.

The Vector body support arms fit straight on and do not need modifying in any way, so you can change the parts back whenever you want.
Summary
This modification works well, but you have to remember that the gain in the downforce at the rear is matched by a decrease in the front downforce generated by the body.
Many thanks to Bhajan Panesar for informing us of this inexpensive and straightforward modification.
