Hi there!
I have an important question (atleast it's important for my wallet
).
I've got an Impulse PRO upgraded with Centax Clutch and rear belldiffrential. Now my question is, will i have to throw away my Impulse/705 just becuase the 710 will be much better? I'm not a very perfect driver either (YET!). I don't have the money to buy a 710 but i want to know if i should keep my Impulse or not..

I'm still racing a 4 year old Impulse converted to Pro. Its still a good car. Now only if I could drive. Hoping to get a 710

Thanks for the replies (and hello Fmolzer ) !
Puh, now my worries are down to zero, especially cause i race in Sweden where R/C's unfortunately is a very small sport. But i think it increasing now when the 1:10 NT has come to stay.
But what ever, my question now is, does the conversion kit include the rear balldiff and centax? In that case I won't need it..
And yes, I'm posting the same reply in 710 forum too.
And again, thanks

Watch this space for a 705 conversion that I'll be doing on my Impulse PRO.

The upper deck (hence throttle servo, battery and receiver placement), left / right side carbon braces, rear sway bar ala Impact... That's all I can think of.

I already have the rear ala Impact swaybar, got it from my Impact .
Is the 705 radioplate much better than the Impulse pro one?
I gotta go so i don't have time to write more

Not forgetting the centax II clutch and smaller flywheel, different receiver pack, lower engine mounts, different chassis and top deck brace.

On another note, I guess that due to the different design and cut out of the 705 radio plate, it somehow does seem stronger than the Impulse PRO radio plate which broke easier upon impact. Just a very unscientific observation of mine...
p/s: I notice you mention that you're going to get a JTech engine. Are you based in Florida?

Well, the idea of the new radioplate on the 705 is to give the car better CG with the lower receiver pack placement. Also, the throttle / brake servo's new position is an attempt to redistribute the polar moment of the car for better handling. Of course then this is better than the Impulse PRO radioplate.

I don't need the super best engines, especially since i don't have money for a brand new racing engine... The one Fredrik's got can i get for 100 USD.. My wallet is not much thicker than so.. The only stock engine i got (or the only 12 enginge i got) is a Nova Mega SX-12 SE EV-2... Maybe not the fastest...

Johan: Hejsan! I'm racing at Staffanstorps HS in Skåne, can't wait untill April when they will open again after the winter... BTW, What car are you running?
ammdrew: Yea, i also thought it would be a great deal for my Impulse, i won't need more power than that in the beginning, a better engine will come with a better driver
