D, tight your clutch a bit more and dont change the stock 1st gear ratio. You will not notice much difference in acceleration conparing with 705 1st gear ratio(7.12)

I'll do that. My 705 is not "stock" so with a 7.12 gear ratio, it launches very hard !

Sorry, but no need to get angry Don't try to post as much as D and maybe i can keepup with reading the post's.
Still i have placed a small spacer between the ballcup and the wishbone (and still have alot of spacer with the wheel) so the shocks moves a little better

I've made too many enemies here already just driving a Serpent and you want me to post a pic of myself? That would be the last nail on the coffin !

If you want to change things to the car that is fine. But don't create problems when there isn't one
