2. A so called "D-License", shouldn't be too hard to get
3. A heck lot of parts, training and help

Now this Gourry has stopped answering emails and a new person called Angela come into the picture pretending not to know anything. The email today says "Please send us your order number so that we can check your status".
Blimey! What do they do? Start a new file? All the previous polite exchanges of email about how they are following up with the missing parcel were lies.
Part with your money if you wish. I don't wish it to anyone to lose USD 350 in one pop, gets accused as a potential theif of a customer and never see a single item delivered!

It could be the bell housing (902413) has already worned out. Has this part been changed yet?
Before changing, you may want to try this. Set the 2 speed shoe and clutch bell (902413) spacing as per the manual on page 29, Step 9.2.
There will come a time when this resetting of the gap would not help and that is where you need to replace the 902413 after all when the wear is bad.
As a guide, set the two M3 screws to 5.5 to 6 full turns out after fully tighten and fine tune from there.
The 2 speed shoes rarely need to be replaced. Don't clean it using sandpaper or take out the aluminum bits that get stuck to the shoe. That's the secret to the shoe working correctly. Just clean to make sure no oil on it.

You will want something like this or this to hold the flywheel. The good thing about this tool is that it does not scratch the flywheel is it's easier. With the latter tool, you can use it to check the clutch gap of the Centax clutch.
With the flywheel holder, you also need a wrench to tighten down the 10 mm clutch nut. For this, you could get the Hudy one which also acts as a wrench glowplug and also the other side acts as a 10 mm allen to tighten the aluminum pivot ball retainers in the knuckles. One of the more useful tools in the toolbox for me.

I have the Qworld and the Hudy tool, and don't my mates have a shot at me for havig the right tool for the job. I just don't see the point of not doing it the right way which is usually the easiest.

Thanks guys, what does the "New type looking wheelnuts" look like? I know I bought a bunch of the wheel nuts that originally came with the 710 because they were going to stop making them and I found that they really helped keep the wheels from warping so I bought a bunch and still have them. Whats the deal with these new ones? Also did Serpent address the issue with the way the front shock was mounted soo on hard impacts it wouldn't break the shafts on the shocks?? Nice looking aluminum parts on that car. Almost makes me want to go back out and buy a 710!! Is RC-Mushroom still the cheapest place to get the 710?

Yeah, I know what you mean... I get shot too and sometimes get sarcarstic remarks why I'm lugging too much stuff to the track. But at the end of the day, the ones borrowing these tools from me are none other but these same people...

I turned the lever forward 1 tooth and shortened the link almost as short as it would go (without modifying it) and it turned out perfect. The servo saver lever is centered and I get about 26 degrees of steering both ways.

Rubber Tire Setup for 710
Anybody have a good rubber tire setup for the Serpent 710?
I am going to be running it on a smooth asphalt parking lot track. I have tried searching through myTSN but I could not find any way to search by tire type? I also searched through many (but admittedly not all) of the 690+ pages in this thread and did not find a good rubber tire setup.
