That must have cost me at least two seconds a lap. But, at last I've broken something on my glass car *phew*

Is this black spring an optional one or is it used somewhere else? I thought mine only came with only one silver spring. Thanks.

Thanks, D My 710 was the last virgin in germany
Maybe it was a lawnmower, or Sow!
With it being the left arm, it more than likely was broken at the AMCC.

Nothing wrong with enjoying it as part of the hobby. Your car must be real smooth and fast too.
I have fallen in love in those little cars, I'm thinking about 1/8 scale already. Is 950R any good?

You looked like you had fun bashing around in the video. Driving skills ain't bad ... just place some cones or something and practise in an imaginary track and you'll be good.

Doppler effect
Hello.
Has any1 ever used Doppler effect to estimate top speed of the car?
I played with my video and it looks like my car was making 96km/h (its around 59 miles per hour). I dont know how accurate this is, it might be possible. Next time ill try to take it to the limit and drive straight on the full throttle.
Here You can find out how this work:

Sorry its in German. I dont know german but my friend did translate it for me.
