Its almost worth coming over to the UK, buy a new kit, join one of our races and then go home with a "used" 710 (so the Swedish customs can't moan!).

We just need to wait and see. Serpent are normally good to keep the card very close.

@ Sow&Steady
Thanks for your reply! I´m from Germany, and was just curious about the EFRA rules. In Germany we use the so called DMC rules and I just want to check where the differences are.
Thanks for the link!
Fulcrum, where are you coming from? Are you preparing for the upcoming Euros in the UK?

Read-end assembly
Hi,
I'm having a very hard time assembling the read-end of the car.. i alwasy have to fiddle with it to get the arms moving freely.. now i think it is wearing out a little, but we all have to agree that the read-end of the car is an enormous complex peace of work...
Have any of you had problems building it, or having problems with the downstops and/or staby being 'tweaked'? It's really driving me mad!

Also if the pivot ball caps are on too tight, this would lead to the arms not dropping freely - check these first.
Other than that, check in the FAQ, where Julius describes how to better assemble the rear end.
Cheers, Mark.

..Or you can order it in Hong Kong and kindly ask RC-Mushroom to mark it as a gift worth 50 USD
