Mark,
How did you get your avatar pic so big? What settings do you use? |

Originally posted by cyba888 Was at the race a week ago and most drivers that I saw did not or barely use brakes. Maybe it has to do with the track that we run on.:p At the indoor track where I drive my EVO III when we drive clockwise, then I never have to break - simply let the car roll through the corners and left off the throttle at the correct point. But when running anti-clockwise, then I have two places where I have to break. For both configurations (for the EVO III) I use a one-way although most of the other guys prefer the ball-diff/solid axel for the configuration where breaking is required. For me I think I'm still quicker using the one-way whatever the configuration of this track. |

Originally posted by InitialD Well, for me I thought having lots of brakes was better but on the fast track, braking just means that you go slower. With the one way, you can really push in the fast sweepers. The car carries more speed. Yes it's true like what Mark mentioned that you get more consistant lap times if you're on full time 4WD brakes but there is where we need to strive for perfection ! :lol: Anyway, welcome to the fold and enjoy building your 710 kit ! :nod: |
Originally posted by Picard Thanks ID and everyone that responded, it good to have different points of veiw. Now I hope my kit arrive on time, i can't take the waiting :cry: |

Originally posted by markp27 I panick sometimes though - out it blurts and suddenly I'm in big trouble! :eek: |
Originally posted by Picard Hi MarK I have been driving with a oneway at my track for 4 months now and dont have any problems, i feel very confident with a oneway but that was on an R12, so I am not to sure how the serpent will react with one. I have never tried a solid front and was curious about it and didn't know what the difference was between the 2. No-one from my knowlage had used a front solid at my track before so I will be the first For our upcoming race here it appears that I need to remove my front roll-bar as well as go to 4 holes up front just to get comfortable. May need to do more to be fast ... we'll see. ;) |
Originally posted by markp27 It is great fun to drive a solid, as the breaking is unbelievable! You can therefore drive very aggresively, which most probaby won't translate to a good lap time. One the other hand the one-way promotes smooth consistant driving, which is rewarded by quicker lap times. The 710 won't give you any problems with a one-way if you have already gotten use to one with another car. Cheers, Mark. The problem is sometimes I end up in a heat with some "L-plate" drivers and unpredictable manouvers often call for unexpected hard braking. That means rear-end swapping for me ... :( |
Originally posted by InitialD Yes, the track you run on is very nice and flowing ! :nod: |
Originally posted by InitialD As far as I know, only Serpent has the optional solid axle in the front. Shhhhh! Don't tell them knukerheads! :lol: |
Originally posted by InitialD I notice that on my local track which requires a fair bit of braking, I feel that I'm faster on the one way. Anyway, what does using softer front tires do? More steering? Wouldn't that make the rear unstable? |
Originally posted by Sow&Steady Actually, Kawahara makes an Al. insert to change the MTX diff into a solid. You could even use it in the Evo with a small mod. Shhhhh! Don't tell them knukerheads! :lol: We used to put silly putty in out front diffs on the HPI Racer and early V-one R's. But once you learn to drive a oneway its hard to go back to anything else, unless the track realy needs a front diff/solid. Nice flowing lines will always be quicker than screaming up to the corners and grabbing a handfull of brake. |
Originally posted by Sow&Steady One other thing, unlike the 705, the 710 loses its steering only marginally when I locked the 1-way. Again, depending on the track layout and available grip, you may find that you need to refer to the "bible" and get more steering afterwards.
