Instruction Manual
2
Congratulations on your newly acquired Serpent 710.
You have chosen the highest quality, ultimate-perform-
ance 200mm racecar that is easy to use, assemble,
and set up. As part of the worldwide team of Serpent
drivers, you will also get superior technical support.
Serpent has a tradition of excellence with instruction
manuals, and with the new Serpent 710 manual we
have yet again gone a step further. The new layout
has easy to follow step-by-step assembly instructions
and building tips, richly illustrated with 3D rendered
full-color images. Following the instructions will result
in a well-built, high-performance racecar that will soon
be able to unleash its full potential at the racetrack.
Instructions
This instruction manual has nine sections that will lead
you through the assembly process of your Serpent
710. Follow the assembly steps in the order presented
to ensure that no problems occur during assembly.
Each step indicates all the fasteners and small parts
used. Bag numbers are also shown to identify the kit
bag that contains the appropriate parts for the step.
When building your 710, do not empty the parts bags
as you will need to refer to the parts by bag number
several times during the various assembly stages.
Set-up
In certain assembly steps you need to make basic
adjustments, which will give you a good initial setup
for your Serpent 710. Note that fine-tuning the initial
setup is an essential part of building a high-perform-
ance racecar like your Serpent 710. The Set-Up Book
included in your Serpent 710 kit will help you to adjust
your car. It contains detailed information on making
basic settings, as well as in-depth information about
the effect of changing the settings. Be sure to follow
the procedures and be accurate with your adjustments
not only now, but every time you prepare the car for
practicing or racing. This is how the best drivers in the
world do it - simple, straight forward, and accurate!
Exploded views and parts list
The exploded views and parts lists for the Serpent
710 are contained in a separate Reference Guide.
The exploded views show all the parts of a particular
assembly step, together with the Serpent part number.
The parts lists at the end of the Reference Guide indi-
cate the part number and name of each part for easy
reference when re-ordering.
Safety precautions
Included with your Serpent 710 kit is a document enti-
tled “Read This First” that covers safety precautions
for the assembly and use of this product. We strongly
recommend that you thoroughly read and understand
that document, and follow all the precautions.

Differential Adjustment
Adjust the diff friction collar to adjust
the differential action. Tighten the
adjustment screw to increase the
spin-resistance of the differential;
loosen the adjustment screw to
reduce the spin-resistance of the dif-
ferential. The tighter the diff collar,
the more the differential resists the
difference in speed between the inner
and outer wheel. As a rule of thumb,
the more grip a track has, the tighter
the diff collar should be.
Use this screw to apply pre-load
to the differential. Tighten it so
that the diff pulley doesn’t slip
while holding both diff shafts but
still turns as freely as possible.
Tighten this locking setscrew to
lock your initial setting.
