missing gear
Yes it is a 35 tooth gear and yes I also have the 45 tooth for rear.Stange it seems.Maybe this is the gear you will need if you install a diff in front as I can,t imagine using it in the rear.

Originaly posted by Gold Finger... now we in bussines!!! the rear is holds very well in fast chicane.
And tomorrow we going to add more traction in front.

Congrats on your new ride
, but that's it, how about aceleration, top end, 
, A lot of building process have been made and talk around here, did anybody else have test the car yet??,, seems that the car have no bugs in the building process, that's awsome
so lets see now in the trackCiao!!

I think i am right in saying the S9550 is a low profile digital servo? Spec wise how does it compare too the S9451? I think they also have metal reinforcing on the case?

Schrijver99.. you must put 2mm in between when using S9550 on your 710 and it will not touching the belt. Actually the front belt is already touching carbon upper deck as well as the lower chassis as you could see the smear on its print right after 3 tanks (standard front belt tension setup)

Alternative antenna mnt...
When i placed my sanwa rx311 into the rx box, i had to face the crystal and connectors inwards and towards the front of the car.. that meant the antenna wire would exit from the rear and travel to the frnt to use the antenna mount...
Sooo.. i cut a small piece of fibre and made two holes (countersunk the bottom one or there won't be enuff space for the screw head). Dunno about other guys, but i've had 3 cm of extra antenna height make the diff btwn glitching when 9 other antennas are beside me on the stand..
Also, i've always liked these types of antenna mnts.. you can pick up the car by them! (though thats not a good practice..)

10% done..
About another 90% left... I.E. figuring out the set-up, troubleshooting, learning to drive the damn thing...

It's done on purpose. It's to keep the screws in place when you take off the front shocks.
No need for superglue round the edges of the graphite.

holy crap, reading this thread is a B.I.G pain for me as my 710 might get delayed a week or so.

Re: Should you grease the ball diff

The instruction doesn't say but should you grease the diff rings?
The 705 instructions are the same in regards to building the diff and they don't show putting grease on the diff rings.
All it shows is greasing the thrust bearings only?
Can anyone elaborate about setting up the diff. I'm not sure about the part where you tighten the screw. I tighten the screw and while holding both outdrives I try to turn the pulley. I set mine to where you can turn it with some force. After that I use the grub screw to hold it in place.

The way you have set the diff is correct. To be sure of the setting check if you need a considerable amount of force to make the diff slip when you try and turn the first gear of the 2-speed while holding the rear wheels.

Also i've adjusted the servohorn, so that it's 90 degrees with the servo link and not the servo.

Or the servo horn is too weak
