Not slugish at all. And its helped to overcome wheelspin on corner exit.

you can use pre-load set at its lowest thread with at least 60mm tires to get 5mm ride height.
last time i went with 59mm and 63mm tires front/rear respectively, and that was with a 21t pulley.

Damn. I should have known this and stocked up earlier. There goes our tires and fuel supply for 3 months.

Hi guys,

I am having problem with my 2 speed transmission... For some reason, it won't shift... I tried loosen & tighten both screws but still not shifting. How many turns out do you guys recommend? I have a Sirio Evo III 3 ports in this car. Anybody has similar problem before with their 2 speed not shifting? I am not new to nitro but new to 710. Please help. Thank you.

My 2 speed is a little old, and i have the problem that i need to make the screws very lose..... for a new 2speed, what the manual says is good... also read about the adjustmentscrews in the shoos itself... they change a lot of how the 2 speed gears...
