None that I know.. just make sure you tighten it enough on assembly. No locktite, you need locktite on wheel axle (as no rubber ring on it) as it might come loose on long usage (such as final).

well, i straightened the wobble on the front one way by lightly pushing the pulley over. That didn't work on the rear so I guess I'll have to to pull the rear diff out.

My car
Finally I got it all together 
Went to the track to run in the engine some and crashed at speed in the second lap... front right end gone ( the aluminum pivotballs are very fragile).
LHS's don't stock 710 parts yet so I ordered a second kit as spares. I think it's cost effective on the long run
I love this car!!

Nice paint scheme! Looks killer. When you assembled your diffs, did they wobble at all?

Back to your car pic - what do you use to mask the body work? - the lines look very clean.

Yes of course. Not blocks made by Hudy but a decent droop gauge and droop measured at the bottom of the knuckle.
No worries and no Jedi tricks to the numbers !

The masking tape I used is "pactra" 1/4" to divide the colors and than regular one to fill out the big areas. It's a very easy tape to work with!
Thanks for the good comments on the graphics! It's nothing special but been a rookie at paint jobs I wanted to to play it safe and have a simple yet racy look.

Updated my website to include my 710 and courtesy of markp27 there is a link to his 710 FAQ pages, I'll try and keep the link up to date for easier reference.

I only use on the grub screws on the aluminum pulley adapter. I only use on the grub screws on the aluminum pulley adapter.
I don't use loctite on my Centax pinions and on my engine screws as well as the wheel nuts. I just tighten them up very tightly.
