Ummm, looking at it again, the front side and rear side can be pulleys of different teeth (both must be the same) and the results will yield the same.
So instead of 24T, they could both be 23T or even 25T and will still yield 1.875 front internal ratio. If other than these pulleys, I think Serpent has to make new ones as 23T, 24T and 25T pulleys are readily available from other cars.

Saw the 710 online, I am very disappointed!!! How I wish they had better pictures!!! The car looks great I have to say with a lot of interesting bits. Now only to see the car in the flesh and tinkle with all the little new bits.
Oh by the way InitialD was at the track with me this morning at 11:00 am and he seemed a little blur ... we all can understand why, those darn mushrooms!!!
Everyone in our LHS is waiting to to see if InitialD will be the first to jump on the 710. I am sure he will ... this will complete the Trilogy (Impulse, 705 and 710).

Dissapointed? How better can the pics be? Can you find better pics of the MTX-3? 
Perhaps Serpent should borrow Mark's D1.

1.Yes, the rear has an adjustable roll center and adjustable camber change as well!

As I'm still only a Tech Rookie
could you explain the benefits of adjustable roll centers
Great job on the car by the way

Well, I think we'll have to wait for them to recover from their hang over.
From the pics at mytsn, I can surely tell that the brake pulley is 24T. So going by the information that the internal drive ratio of the car is 1.875, the rear diff pulley is 45T.
Other pulleys remain a mystery to me but looking at the size of the rear side pulley as well as the front side pulley, I guess that they are the same as the brake pulley. So I think the pulleys are configured like this
30T
24T 16T
24T 24T
45T
Incidently, this gives the front and rear internal drive ratio as 1.875 which makes the overdrive 1:1.
p/s: Ooophs, Rene just woke up !

Not bad, but the real pulley configuration is :
_______________Front 35T
Middle side: 22T Middel :19T
2 speed side : 22t 2 speed mid 24t
_______________________Rear 45T
So it's not exactly 1:1, but it's close.
More info soon.

Patience is a virtue. Soon you'll see one in a flesh.

Lower roll center (further away from the CG) permits the car to roll more. This means more grip on that end where the roll center is low. But more grip can mean more sluggish.
Higher roll center (nearer towards the CG) will resist the part of the car from rolling. This can mean lesser grip but can also mean the car can react faster in and out of corners.

I'd agree with that - I come with the D1, though

Hell if that's difficult, I'll make it easy. Just send a 710 my way and that should take care for the year's salary.
