In certain ways, I like the 705 receive replacement better. A good balance of accessibility and protection. The Impulse PRO receiver placement was good but it was difficult to access the crystal. Not to mention certain people had problems with glitches due to the placement of the receiver.

My opinion? I don't like the placement of the receiver on the 710. Just like I do not like the placement of the receiver on the MTX-3 and V1RR EVO. My 2 cents.

You've got a point there D:sneaky:

Strange that the Futaba receiver is different from the PCM and HRS receiver layout. The PCM (R113iP) and HRS (R203HF) receiver from the 3PK looked the same like the Sanwa receiver in terms of the crystal and plugs placement.

Correct me if i'm wrong but i allways have to put the wires etc at the outside so i have to make 2 slots in the protector... And thats nearly impossible i think:)

The only sullution for me is that i connect the wires of my reciever directly to the reciever( without the connectors)
Any comments on this one?:rolleyes:

If you understand my explenation...:blush:

I'll try...:D

The additional rear lower arm link that is nearer to the front of the car is like another arm located slightly higher (or lower or at a neutral position) relative to the other main rear lower arm located more towards the rear side of the car.

When the suspension compresses, this other additional rear lower arm link (located higher than the other main rear lower arm) will push the rear hub out in such a way to create less toe in. This results in more steering. The opposite happens when this other additional rear lower arm link is installed lower than the other main rear lower arm when acceleration and braking becomes more stable.

I think you misunderstood.

Don't cut the protector, cut a slot in the lip to which you stick the receiver. Then mount it with the wires on one side of the lip and the crystal in the slot you made.

Hmm... Pretty good idea!:cool:
I'll try that!
The only thing that i hope is that crystal does not touch the throtle servo..
Thanks;)

Thaasman,
You should try putting some heatshrink wrap or a bicycle intertube to hold the receiver in place on the receiver mount. That will also insolated from fuel and also you wont worried about the crystal touching your throttle servo. :cool:

You could use some 2-sided tape in 2 or 3 layers between the receiver and the lip. To space it away from the servo.

Dang,

and I just bought 2 new futaba PCM Rx:s tfor my 710 to be, looks like they will not fit.... First person to come up with a mod that fits the Rx AND offers protection from side impacts, please post here.

..be patient , tomorow I will start building. And I have no choice, must use the R113iP.
Anyway, what throttle servo you are using ?
I use S9550 in all of my car, should be no problem if I try to mount the rcv in Rene style.
