Do i need to run a longer pressure line from the exhaust or are we simply filling the tank with too much fuel?

From my experience, like what Goldfinger suggest, the thing about refuelling is you need to blow out a few revs just after refuelling to blow out excess fuel. That's what we normally do before putting the car back into the track.

S710, just do a quick check for your low needle setting.

if the cap closing kills the motor it is too rich...
you do have to be a bit gentle on your throttle yank after a pit but you can fuel drop and go...

Serpent 710 Setup Sheet in Editable PDF file
For those who have asked for the blank 710 setup sheet and still have not realised that it is already available, you can download it off mytsn here.
Once you open it in Adobe Reader, select the Select Text option and you can change, type in and edit the file. I don't think it allows you to save the changes to the files though... You need to print it right off !

One for cooling hole (any width of the hole (square, round or rectangular) must NOT exceed 50 mm) and the other hole (20 mm) is for refueling especially if you're using a refueling gun. I have attached an example of my old shell (long live the 705 ! ) for reference...

I can't believe this guy can claim he is the "official" Asean Cup organizer when his knowledge about IFMAR rules and 1:10 nitro racing comes from his knee-caps!
This year he has again put in the same stupid rule about banning the use of PCM. I suggest the main motivation for repeating this childish behaviour is because he is a Sanwa distributor!
Strewth!!!

Ummm, this one rule perhaps has it's reasons... I read somewhere or I am told by someone that in large IFMAR races, the built in fail safe in the Tx must be switched off. They prefer having to rely on dicipline and regulation of radio compound to avoid frequency clashes.
Well, if shit happens (we know this happens at almost all races regardless of radio compounds) and a car glitches because of a frequency clash or something else, they prefer the car to continue glitching and perhaps chances that the driver is still able to control his car on the track than to have his car stop dead in the middle of the track and causing other accidents. That's one way of looking at it and if I'm not mistaken, IFMAR (or even ROAR) sees the same angle too. Can anyone confirm this?

Could that be your reason of getting a complete M8 set by having the pleasure of burning the Tx/Rx in front of his face?

Of course, we're talking about mere mortal racers against unlimited factory sponsored drivers here ! I guess it's just a case of one man's meat, another man's poison !

I'm not stooping so low as to do that to him, the M8 was for a friend who thinks its the best thing since sliced bread!
OK, OK, I know ... one can argue about that too.

Seriously, Mr. Official Asean Cup needs to stop this archaic mentality and get on with it. Plus get a little more creative with the track layout too.

Anyway, enough from me on this ... I choose not to go but I encourage everyone to do what they feel is best for themselves. It IS a free country.
