hi,
i am having some shock towers made for the 710. they will be made of carbon fibre and 4 mm thick. if i buy 100 of them, i can get them for roughly $500 to $550. i am looking for 10 people who would like to go in on this. it would be roughly $50-55 for each person. we would split all the shock towers evenly, 10 each. i have three people who are in so far--- francis lee, omar (twister tires), and robert (all from south florida). please email me to [email protected] if interested.
francis, i am having trouble finding others to go in on the deal. do you know of anyone else. i talked to the person who makes them today and he said he could probably let us slide with doing 70 of them. let me know.

I found the 3racing carbon fibre front bumper to be quite weak, too - I will replace it with the new standard upper bumper plate.



Mark, it was great visiting and racing with you. I would say that my experience with the 3Racing upper plate is very different from yours. I use it with the S705 LOLA bumper (#808121) for practice, where the rules don't count, and with the (#802209) for ROAR racing. The latter is very strong and resists deformation well. I have yet to break the 3Racing carbon fiber plate, and I think you will agree that I do a more stringent stress analysis of body parts than you!

I tend to agree with you also on this, Jack... If it's anything, which CF are you using? The normal black CF or the SSG one? I know Mark uses the black normal CF while I'm still using my SSG one.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Engine Problem source found.
 

That's probably the explaination; I'm using the "SE710-004 SSG Graphite Upper Bumper Plate For Serpent 710".

:lol: Hi Jack - I think I must have had a localised high stress test on that carbon fiber plate :lol:

It was great meeting up with you - the people of RCTECH really made the Winternats even more special for me - to meet all those great people.
I saw a couple of cars with the LOLA bumper - D also mentioned using this.....is it possible to cut it down a little to conform with the roar rules?

Cheers, Mark.

Swoosh! Order placed :D
Maybe you only do more strigent stress analysis, as you think you're still flying that fighter jet of yours ;) :lol:

:D :D :D :D :D

Maybe 1 or 2 more Margirittas at that mexican restaurant might have helped you too Mark, ha ha ha ha!!!

I doubt I would have won that bet, though - in fact I'm sure no one would have felt comfortable driving WITH me :lol: :lol:

2 more of them and you wouldnt have been able to drive for 2 more days.:D :D

I think some people had this impression anyway :cry: :cry: :lol: :lol:

Yeah..........including the poor guy that had to drive!!!

:blush: Now who was that again :D

Next year we will take a cab and I'll show you guys how to have 4 of them!!:D
