Re: Weight
 

Stock/out of the box G4? maybe becuase the standard G4 lacks of plastic (teflon if you talking about Kfactory parts) pivot ball inserts as well as 69cc fuel tanks (surely the 75cc is heavier). Not to mention if you were using Kfactory AFL like fuel tank lid (heavier) and changing the original plastic wheel hex to aluminum one (heavier) to meet S710 specs.

I too agree G4 is a good performance car and have no problem competing with S710 in any area. On the other hand, as a matter of selling more G4s (happened to us to) is simply because the car is very cheap which reqires less marketing efforts. At least in our side with the G4s selling at USD260 (of course already with profit) while our COST is already around USD350 for the S710.. In my opinion is not the car, rather on the price/high side as you put it..yes

Wow! I should weigh mine too.

Let him ... its almost a compliment to be bashed! :nod:

Re: G4 vs 710
 

What a pity ... I was just "warming" to buying something from you but now that I know your slightly "higher than normal" attitude you've lost me as a potential customer. I suppose that doesn't matter to you ... I'm only ONE customer. :o


I don't quite get you. Are you saying it is irrelevant what car wins because it all depends on the driver? :rolleyes:


I take it that you have a less than good relationship with Serpent NL?

Agree with you Pyramid ... which was why I bought one just to test it. :)

Looks almost new to me! :)

Anyway, love the way you mounted the personal transponder but isn't that risky?

Have you had an accidental "bash" head-on?

Re: Re: Friday pics
 

It's better protected than on the rightside of the car, mine is in the bumper under the bumperplate, so it's better protected that way. Didn't you see the 2 holes in the bumperplate, they are there to mount the transponder.
I only need to place the wire under the frontdiff. just to hide the wire and make it easier to work on the front of the car :nod:

I think he has a good relationship with Serpent but a better one with Team Magic. There are alot of shops who sell serpent but none that sell TM (only the Border of course) over here

Re: Re: Re: G4 vs 710
 

Ahaa ... I gathered that. :)

thats nice , but dont you have to add weight anyway to race at a ROAR event ? When i raced my r12 it weight 1635 and i got disqualified until i added enough weight. By the way nice scale

Re: Re: Friday pics
 

That is actually the way to mount the personal transponder on the 710. On Michael's car, you cannot even see the personal transponder. I think he personally hides it in the bumper itself.:nod:

Re: Re: Re: G4 vs 710
 

I think Pyramid kinda put it to us already. Unfortunately, you get better profit margin with the G4 than what you can get with the 710. That's a fact.

Well, you probably could not feel the power to weight ratio difference with the Murnan anyways...:sneaky: :D

Well, for our outlaw races :rolleyes: , the lighter the better ! ;)

Thanks for the confirmation and information Jack.;) On a side note, I always take out my receiver pack to charge. I put a charged one in as I have more than a pack for spare.

Oh, really?:lol: I swear by the way the car handles, I can actually be fooled by it being a 12th scale ! :lol:

Well, I think we're too nice and kind here ! We should be like the other forumers on the other thread.:lol:

Can we say the 1/12th "scale"?:lol: :lol: :lol: :cry:
