Try setting the rear sway bar harder. Or if you want, you can get the optional harder rear sway set (

It's standalone. But note that weather the DRS arm is above or below would depend heavily on the rear roll center pivot inserts (see page 25 of the setup booklet).

Hey Wap, welcome back.

You should be looking at the following stuff...

SER-802145 Servo lever front long S710+diffring
SER-802162 Middle shaft alu coated S710
SER-802212 Body-mount front long alu (3)
SER-802220 Bracket front up alu L+R orange
SER-802337 Anti-roll bar sets 2.5+3mm
SER-802362 Body-mount short rear aluminum (2)
SER-1388 Thrust-bearing 5X10 ceramic
SER-9607 Race brake-padset L+R
SER-802155 Bracket middle shaft alu
SER-802136 Bracket radioplate-support alu
SER-802552 Engine mount mono-block S710
SER-802241 Anti-roll bar levers + ecc. Alu
SER-802235 Spacer st-block-uprights (4)

You could also look at Thomas' post on what he added to his 710.

BTW, I would suggest that you check the rear diff outdrives and the rear drive cups. Check to see if there is any kind of wear. You need to inspect closely in order to see it. If they are worned out, change them. That's probably the cause of the problem with the rear spinning out to one side.

Yes, make sure the rear ball diff does not slip. You could detect that the ball diff is incorrectly built when the car sways to one side when you throttle the car on a straight road.

Yes. Try the red harder spring. Makes the car respond better especially if you have chicanes and fast switchbacks.

I used a sharp Xacto hobby knife. You need to get some spacers. The Serpent caster clips is perfect for this as it comes in 1 mm, 2 mm and 4 mm.

For more details, you could refer to Onkel Sow's article here.

The only drawback is that the gear ratios of the 710 are different. So you'll have to use different pinion/spur combos.

Using 18/60 and 23/55 when using the 710 gears on the 705 wil give you the same rollout as 15/50 and 19/48 with the stock 705 gearbox and clutch.

Of D's list I think these are the important ones.....

SER-802145 Servo lever front long S710+diffring
SER-802337 Anti-roll bar sets 2.5+3mm

Especially the servo lever and diff ring are imrovements to the car. The anti-roll bar increases your tunability.

InitialD

Aren't those aluminum parts important as well to make the car heavier? (j/k)

InitialD

That's the idea. I think it's very good for smallish tracks.

I haven't got the 802145 set yet, but the Anti-roll bar kit is brilliant! My setup was always very good for my track, but after trying the new anti-roll bars out, the setup is exceptionally good!!!!

Cheers, Mark.

I installed the new servo saver last night. You're right to say that you need to shorten the servo arm to servo saver linkage more so that the steering linkage is more centered.

Just popping the new servo saver in your existing car would make the neutral center of the steering about 30 points off to the right. Also the wheels will toe out more like -3 or -4 per wheel. I have not checked that.

InitialD

What? !! Not yet? This is unexceptable.

markp27

What!! only last night, that is unacceptable!

InitialD

So we don't differ in this instance.

Had it very LONG ago. I just wanted to test out all the things I wanted to do before swapping for the new servo saver in.
