Serpent chief designer and former World and European Champion Michael Salven is the subject of Red RC's second series of Pro Tips. In this five part how-to, the German runs us through the preparation of his Serpent 966, this episode focusing on the drive shafts, gearbox and giving other helpful tips along the way. The remaining videos in this series will show how to build the Serpent's shock absorbers, setup the perfect clutch as well as setup and tweak the chassis ready for racing.

@infoplasma Concerning the two speed clutch: Michael prefers not to use the grub screws for adjustment since he finds that when he uses them the shoe response is not so responsive and consistent. Alas the shoes will require replacing more often.
