The best upgrade for the Taipan is the shock conversion for the front. It transforms the car into a real racecar, and provides a much bigger setup range. It also lets you run a much larger range of tire sizes.

check out the posts above for some more details. Also the serpent 1/8 electric car facebook page has a lot of info.

it handles great 100% better than our 2wd 1:8 IC cars did in the 80-90s...

Some can get close to 1:8IC lap times
