Yippee. I'm on the 100th page !p/s: kriedel, got your PM. Got a few PMs also requesting to post the larger size PDF / JPG file of the setup sheet here. Be patient as I'm working on it !

make it a tiny bit bigger
then the wheel will fit perfectly
It may not be the thickness problem...
try it

For those who requested for a clearer and bigger setup sheet that I posted earlier, I have attached the JPG file below.
Perhaps since Michael is online, we would appreciate if you could walk through some of the things you did and why you did it.

Try raising the DRS up; shortening the rear anti-roll bar; tightening the diff.; lower the front roll center; disconnect the front anti-roll bar.

You can still mount your receiver with the crystal facing towards the tank and be able to access your crystal albeit more difficult.

I've damaged one xtal in the past doing this in a hurry before a main. Not willing to rush anymore ...

Last week, my 710 is handling very differently.
And last night, I just found this:
With 0 deg toe in, 1.5 camber, 6mm setup ride height
Ball end mounted on top: maximum turn is 25.5 deg(inside tire) and 14 deg(outside tire)
Ball end mounted bellow : max 24.5(inside), 15.5(outside).
In real condition, as the car leans hard (1 side of chasis hit the ground) the inside tire angle is increase about 2 deg and the outside is reduces about the same value.
As you can see the ackerman is angling so extremely.
I think this is playing a big part to resist the car to turns tighter, coz the tire slip angle amount is too big to overcome.
Please share your thought....




The other day a buddy of mine ran the +2 offset rear FAST tires on the 710 and did not have any issues...
