I haven't but if Serpent can do better than K-factory and Kawahara ones for the other cars (MTX) then I'm all for it.

I think when you hit "Notify me of updates to Serpent Chassis 4MM for 710" to the right of the product description, you will get an e-mail when it's back in stock.

Nah... I'm using the hollow Hudy one. Its a beauty, just took a little shortening and a little filling to fit.

Thats correct. I had it on my 835. They are still about. A very good investment if you can get your hands on them. Much like the front doggies from the impact/835, and the hudy oneway outdrives and front axles. All very good items and they fit the 710 perfectly. (the outdrives need a little shortening)

I've ordered the front 835 ones but it was out of a big guess. I wasn't sure if they'll fit. In any case, I'll need to wait because they're out of stock.
Where can I get the hollow shaft? Do you know?
Which Hudy 1-way outdrives do you mean? I mean from which XRay car?

The out drives I'm talking about are the hudy steel ones from the 705/835. The ones with the 4 slots.
Oneway Outdrives
Wheel Axles (fit front and rear)

High speed sweeper will cause the tires to do that when you do not swap it around. Worst still when you go through the sweeper ON POWER !

Onkel Sow, I think you were sleeping when Onkel Sparsky gave tips on what he did to his 710 late last year way before Serpent came out with the options...

Serpent option bits that fit the 710....
ok guys.. I know we cant all keep out 710's stock so has anyone tried any of the existing option parts that serpent have to offer?
808223 Inner Driveshaft Adaptors Light..... fit the front oneway, although you loose the locking function of the stock parts.
808220 Driveshafts Front... the Hudy spring steel bones for the front of the 835 fit both front and rear of the 710. They are actually just a smidgen(less than 0.5mm) shorter but fit very nicely.
Also the stock mid shaft is a fair bit shorter than the optional hollow midshaft for the 705/835 so it shouldnt take much to modify it to fit. I havent got one on hand to try, and I'm too lazy to pull it out of my 835 to check.
