Julius. Rene, Michael

Read sometime ago in this forum that you were going to do some tests with the 710 on rubbers with the guys of Serpent in UK.
Any news about those tests????
Can't make my purchase decision until I know more about the 710 on rubbers. We only run rubbers around here (sigh)
AFM

Can someone tell me what this feature is?

does this mean this car truns with all 4 wheels like a skyline?

I am going to get one today or tomorrow, and I want to know a little more about the car.

Serpent.com has no info...

No, it means you can adjust the rear suspension to develop more or less toe-in as the suspension compresses. How well does it work? I guess we'll all have to wait until we have tried the 710 on the track.

so I guess I have it toe in a little more comming out of a turn which will help keep the rear glued... it should work pretty well.

.... gosh 4w turning would be cool though

the rear toe angle on the 710 will adjust itself whenever the state of the rear suspension is changed. for more detailed description, check previous posts.


not exactly, the rear wheels adjust it’s toe angle towards or away from each other, instead of towards the same direction. besides, the adjustment will occur during a straight-line acceleration or deceleration too. wonder why serpent called this feature dynamic rear “steering”, but at least it is better than “active”. going to get one to see exactly how it works and how well it works.

Really!!!!!

really

so why don't you go get one and let me play with it ? punk !!!

Lima may have good weather this time of year, but it's not real technical weather here. As we have very limeted experience with rubber tires and no competition, we'll have to wait for the UK drivers to start testing.....

Technical weather is the Serpent test team's excuse for going out and playing with cars when weather is good and the rest of Serpent is having to work indoors

The DRS suspension has three main positions.
- Neutral, No change in toe.
- Up, The wheel gets less toe-in when the suspension compresses. This makes the rear steer more in corners.
- Down, opposite to up. It will make the car more stable under accelleration and braking (just using more static toe-in would make braking more difficult) but reduces the steering in fast corners.

Julius,
How hard is it to change the DRS suspension positions by track-side (on the fly)??

You might want to wait for the MTX4, but they won't even start on the MTX5 until Serpent comes out with the 800 to copy.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel???????????

It is not the easiest trackside adjustment. It's a little tricky changing the position of the spacers.
Depending on how handy you get with it, it can be from a minute to an hour (damn dropped the shim again!!! )

Thanks for the info. How much was the s&h charges ?

Cool. What excuses do you guys give to your girlfriends and wifes when going out to play with cars? Same excuses?
