Re: Solution to Alu Anti-Rollbar Arms
Originally posted by markp27
After installing the alu anti-rollbar arms onto my new 710 and finding that the arms were binding just the same as on my original 710, I decided to take more drastic action this time.
With my original 710, I followed Crashed's advice and lossened the hinge pin grub screws on the front lower arms - worked perfectly, but then the hinge pins move around during a run, so the solution wasn't optimal.
This time, I took the bull by-the-horns and drill out the hole for the hinge pins in the alu anti-rollbar arms. The hole is already 3mm, but I think the tolerance is a little bit tight. After letting a 3mm drill bit slide through the hole a couple of time, I remounted the arms and found that there is no binding anymore
There is also no additional play on the arms, so it seems to be a safe and effective fix.
Cheers, Mark.

Well, one thing about that old "Tech Elite" you're referring to did not get the latest 710 kit. Our friend the ever hip Uncle Crash (another Tech Elite) did up one last week with a new batch of the 710 and check out what he found in the kit;
1. Rear shocktower with old design (gives you opportunity to throw it back to Serpent
)
2. New Diff clamp for rear diff
3. Additional 1.2mm shock pistons on top of stock 1.0 mm ones
4. Additional 0.5mm spacers for front roll center
5. Old lower rear arms...
6. Reinforced upper and lower bumper brace
7. Black anodised flywheel

Problem is I have no chance to run in my JP FX at the moment
And with the winter rapidly aproaching, I may not get another chance before the Winternats

Winternats Markp27
Hi Mark,
I have read that you're going to race the winternats.
That's great man, the best way to improve your skills is due to drive against all the topguns.
Go there with a new Mega, maybe the team can tune it for you
Good luck there, and enjoy yourself!
Bye Thomas
