D, with such a short prep time before the race I think you need to kick my ass first for me to kick anyone else's

From time to time you could even do a Blaine imitation and slow wave to us

We're planning to go to Kuching for the Asean Cup
One of the 710s were being driven by the country top driver.
All stock except alu wheel hexes.

Is the Asean Cup confirmed for Kuching? What are the dates?

Guys,
I am trying to mine a little more setup, i disconnected the frnt and rear sway bars and shocks. Then set the droop as per the setup book, when i reconnected the shocks and swaybars i measured it again and it is out? Is this normal?

If they are uneven left and right it may be a tweak in the sway bar.

Now this does not mean that its not good for the low-end either but I find the TP04 a little better. One thing for sure, some people I know don't like the Shark in-line version, not sure why.

What is most interesting is both inserts were used to make the pipe even longer...
Gotta try the shark inline with my NovaMax.

Sow&Steady, I assume your running a 5 port with this pipe is that correct? I've only just bought a Novarossi NSR12-S3 because I was running in the rubber class, however as Brooklands is a fast and flowing track I imaging the pipe should work OK. The pipe looks a little sturdier than my existing Novarossi which is now distorted after over freezing it.

The pipe should work great with the NSR12-S3 because as I understand it this engine already has gobs of low-end. The combo will be a killer on your track because of the fast and flowing layout.
Look at D's last post on this pipe a little earlier too ...
The Shark is definitely one tough pipe, I promise you that it'll take a huge t-bone to even make a small dent on it! The price for this? Well, its a little heavier than other pipes. I've used it for over a year now and there's only a small dent on it plus the stinger is intact ... not THAT makes it all worth it!

I have the same problem with the rear sway bar, when connecting it, my right arm goes up 1mm. my sway bar links are the same size and the sway bar is flat (not bend)..

If they are equal left and right but just lower (about a mm is normal) there is nothing wrong. The droop is measured without shocks. When you mount the shocks the springs will push on the arms making the downstop seem lower. As long as you always measure with the shocks off it's ok.
If they are uneven left and right it may be a tweak in the sway bar.

In the end, I end up with a slightly more droop on the rear right side to get the car balance the same and track straight upon hard braking with a one way front.

If that's the case, I guess we're related and in the same family then !

On a serious note, I actually tried to balance the car staticly on two pins in the middle of the car. I found that with everything installed minus the bodyshell and fuel, the car tended to lean heavier on the right side where the radios and servos are.
Any comments on this Julius? How important is it to balance the weight equal left and right? Should we add static weights on the left side to balance the car? I thought that the design of a center tank was just to get equal left to right balance all throught full to empty tank...
