Serpent 710

One thing to remember when talking about the spilt sizes (front-rear) is that this also dictates the amount of overdrive. For example, if you look at the overdrive table, you'll see with tyres of equal front-rear diameter, you'll get an approximate 1.02% front drive advantage - good for wet or slippy conditions.
If the tyres are mounted so that the front is 1mm smaller than the rear, then the split is all but a perfect 1:1 split. This provides the highest top speed, but probably not quite the same performace out of the corners as the 1.02% front drive advantage.
Cheers, Mark.

Hmm ... you find that it gives a lot more acceleration? The internal ratio becomes 1.917.
Does this pulley fit perfectly fine on the current ball fidd hardware? I have the part but its in my 705. Wouldn't mind trying it out on the 710 if the acceleration/pick up improves!

To fit SER-6357, here is the only way to do it..
Please refer to the black book (rear diff) for more info on how to put it in.

i think it has been asked, but, does anyone make good universals for the 710?

is there a transponder mount for the 710?

For normal ones I just ream a hole on the front right of the windshield.

A few folks mentioned that Michael Salven used some combination of the Hudy spring steel stuff from an XRay car. Don't know how that works but you can see it in the WinterNats video.

Lo and behold! The new Mechanno 710!

Info for these items are officially out on mytsn.
Diff clamp-ring 2 parts S710
Anti-roll bar rear set 2.5 +3mm
Engine monoblock M12
Somehow I prefer the look of the one piece engine monoblock from East.
Also, did any of you notice that the newer parts come with bags that are with orange designed tags and not the old purple one?

Noticed the engine sits rather high on the std purple two piece engine blks. Does these one piece one lower it? I think the engine can be lowered another 1 or so mm without the flywheel coming thru the chassis slot. Thanks.
BTW, finally tried the car with 15 size max. First run and it's awesome. Will need some fine tuning to improve.
