Hey hey hey, I have to start turning on the invisible mode from now :lol: :lol:
Btw, you have a good point about some starter box design ;)

Thanks!

Currently my chassis is being checked to see if it strait... i'll try the next time i assemble the car :)

Serpent 710 parts
 

We just add a lot genuine serpent parts. Also, check out the specials on OS TZ and NovaRossi RR12 series engines

I'm gone for a couple weeks and everything changes. :)

Woha !!! What happens, a guy decides to focus on F1 racing for a couple of months, and when I return to the homeland I start to see discussions about team chassis etc... Markp, give me the rundown of what is going on for new cool stuff with the 710. Basically everything from winternats and forward please?

Hey Fredrik - keep your eye on the ball, man!!! ;) :lol: :lol:

Here's the new chassis:

This is a very nice tuning aid - lowers the centre of gravity and gives quite a bit of stability to the car.

New CVDs:

These are very nice, too - the drive shaft diameters are 0.5mm larger than the dog bones and the pins are also bigger, reducing the amount of slop between the drive shafts and the diff outputs.

So at the winternats, you car won't traction roll and you can't loose any more dog bones.

Other than that, you can leave your car the way it is from this years winternats.

You booked your flight yet? http://www.3hobby.net/images/blocks/...wistedevil.gif

Cheers, Mark.

Oooops!!! Almost forgot.....new Alu 21T side pulley - brilliant!!! This will be perfect for the long right-hand sweeper at the nats. I find on power, then car really can now stay tight in the corner, whereas with the 22T standard pulley, the car drifts out a bit.

Here's an article from Julius about the 21T Pulley

Two things about the new CVDs.

1 DONT'T replace the pins with the 3mm ones from serpent. They will crack the ball end of the shaft. For the adventurers: you could try to enlarge the hole so a 3mm one fits snugly.

2 Do lube the cvd side often. I take the cvd apart and grease them after each day of running. That will make sure they last a long time.

I'll try and look into the rplacement pins but the pin is slightly smaller diameter than 3mm. Could be an inches size.

What lube/grease do you recommend for the CVD?

Thanks for the updates. Any chance these itmes would be included if you buy a new 710 kit? I am thinking mine is getting slowly worn out and it would be time for a new kit anyway...

Mark: where did you buy those Serpent CVD's :confused: thanks :)

Prob. the ball bearing lube from serpent itself.... i use the stuff for nearly everything :D

Any light greas will do. I use a stuff called Tri-Flow which is teflon based. I've had that stuff for years though so I don't know if it is still out there.

Some of our drivers indeed use the bearing oil. Putting a drop on the cvd's after a few runs, and cleaning at the end of the day (or before finals).

Hi Julius,

will that new pulley fit on a Mugen MTX3 shaft (6mm ID)
