But this Saturday I will have to go back home town for a friend's wedding.
I hope I can come back in time on Sunday though...

Yeah... Don't worry. I guess it's how consistant you can go around the track. But don't get too much influenced by that Slow&Steady thingy... Does not work.

Does not work.
Certainly on Saturday, I was able to put consistant laps in without any spins due to the brakes. I'll have to get myself a front diff, I think.Cheers, Mark.

Calvin, Mark is correct. Only ball diff is available. Why do you need a gear diff when you need to mess around with the diff lube when you can tune the ball diff to infinite possibilities on the track without taking off the diff?
And no, the ball diff is pretty bullet proof. Not like some other cars where the diffs will wear out very fast. This is because the ball diffs on the 710 does not use pressure of the balls on the plates to set the diff tightness but rather rely on a plastic clamp system to set the diff tightness. I still have the same rear ball diffs and plates after close to 11 months of usage.
If you have any question, please do not be afraid to shoot.

ORANGE tubing ! I think you need to get Mark's trial version of the dirt filter. I see a little bit at the tank. That JP FX engine heatsink also does not do justice. Sell it over to ME and get a new one !

Yeah, real men do do diffs. Just buy it and keep it in the toolbox.

Finally got the 710 and I need to ask a question about assembly. On the rear diff assembly the big c clip is supposed to lock the thrust bearings into place right? In other words I should compress the clip until it snaps into place inside the outdrive, right? Page 9 step 2.3 just for reference. Thanks.

I believe you need a C clip plier that specifically does that. Or if you do not have it, do like what I did. I used my lexan scissors (with two sharp tips) to compressed them to shape.BTW, congrats on the new car.

XER987, make sure the conical washer and the thrust bearing (the 2 plates with different inner diameter) is installed correctly as per the manual.

Thanks...I'll probably be checking back for other tips...all help is very appreciated.
