Put some Mugen Super Grease on a paper tower and rub the 4 mm balls with it so that the grease is lighly coated on the balls. That's the only trick and one of the best tricks yet for this car.

We already told that many times and it seems like that difficulties is still persist creating frustated racer and headache for us..
That is why we asking Serpent to release that option just like they releasing front ball diff. Who knows...that rear diff gear would make this car more competitive, at least someone must try first.
And there will be more happy beginner and less headache

Waiting for number 18, 28 or 38 ! Actually, still waiting for my friends to get up to speed on this ! 
So Mr. Salven and Mr. Vrielijnck is coming?
I see that Mr. Fantini and Mr. Domanin has already registered and you guys are all using Max 15 engines ! Hey, have you tried them on the 710? How's the feeling compared to other mod .12 engines like Max and JP FX? Fuel consumption?

Not yet, that race would be our first time putting .15 to S710. As for fuel consumption, its been suggested to reduce 5.4mm reducer and EFRA pipe to get maximum milage.. which is around 5mins

I meant even a serious racer like them still need someone else to show them directly to realize what they think is enough, but actually there is better way to do it.
Lets see this Bali Open result...

If the pulley does turn that means the diff is too loose. If you try to drive the car in this condition will the car pull to the right under acceleration and go left under braking?

Usually slight turning (but your finger hurt a bit
) is a nice start.
