I rarely need to change the DRS but I know when you have to do it, it can be a PITA. When I have to change it (when changing the lower RC mount from bottom to top or top to bottom or when the DRS arms snaps...), I usually take the entire rear portion out by unscrewing all the Phillips screws under the chassis for the rear section. Detach the side CF stiffeners and the whole rear pops off. Then from the underside, it is easier to work on the DRS arms and the spacers.

Anyone install the new Spektrum 2.4 Ghz receiver in the 710 ?
I usually slap a balloon over my receivers but these new Spektrum receivers have a led indicator and a BINDING set button.

Do you protect it with a baloon ?
How about the FAIL SAFE is it working ? I can't get mine to throw the brakes onwhen loss of signal.

The front bumper with the 3 x 8mm grub / set screw (H11) is shown at the top on page 6 of the 710 manual (Step 1.7).

Yes you can. Look at page 5 of the 710 setup booklet. Serpent calls it downstop. You adjust the grub / set screw located on the upper front bumper.
