I actually dont care what the guys drive, as long as they are cool about it and that they share what they know... I dont know much about the 710 as mine has not arrived yet, but I know a small amount about engines, and I try with fuel... I actually want to mix 6% oil, and 16% (race legal) and see how the motor screams then... I will use Sidewinder oil as it is my personal favourite.

. I agree. It doesnt matter what the next guy drives. For my sins I am trying out a MRX3 soon as I am getting back into 1:8th this year.6% oil sounds interesting. I wouldnt mind trying that myself.
We all should definately contribute what we know. Its the only way to get new blood into the hobby and make sure they enjoy it enough to stick at it. Otherwise in the next 10 years we wont have a hobby to promote.

Hi guys,
I suspect a few of you guys running the beastin' 710 used to rock the 705. I am just wondering if any if you know a good site to find hops.
Thanks

remember that's 6% good quality oil. I might want to try 4% oil, BUT, it will be a mixture of stuff that I will specify, and it will be an old engine. Top quality castor, with some top quality synthetic, about 1% only.

How long was the 705 released for before the 710 was available?
