That looks cool, but why did you build it?

I am looking for a header/pipe setup for my 710 that can be adjusted for length to tune the powerband for different conditions. I have heard/seen of these setups before but can't find out where I can get one.
Does anyone know where?
Does anyone use such a setup?

Novarossi 2630 pipe is good depending on the motor you use. It also has a number of different header lengths available. Check RC-Mushroom this link will take you to the correct section of the site.

I just started racing a 710. Im using the suggested default setup.
Can somebody tell me why I should set droop at 0 when the springs dont push the arm down that low?

Are you sure that's for the 720? It looks like the front ball-diff for the 710 or maybe my eyesight is failing me.

Just use the threaded ring on the shock body to reposition the spring.

You can set the droop to another setting but try the default set-up first.

Guys, got a 710 and i'd like to know whether it'll still be competitive and how different is this to the 720.

Also how is the spares backup for this car?

Thanks for any help and pointers

I just picked up a used 710 myself.. The car is still very fast.. I have laid down some really fast qual. runs setting TQ for the past 3 weeks.. The car is a bit twichy, i think this is why the got away from the rear steer on the 720.. The main differences are the front and rear suspension.. As for parts still VERY easy to get.. If you need a good starting point for set-up PM me and ill give ya what i run on med grip asphalt..Great place for parts in the US.. www.ashfordhobby.com

the car still competitive, its just the driver give enought maintanance on the car and the setup. 710 and 720 which is faster I would say its on the driver, setup and engine.
