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?

Rear unstable no.. when the rear of your car being unstable right after using softer front tires ( no other change)
- its time to lower the rear too
- too much steering lock (thanks Julius)
When using solid front, yes the car is very dead easy to drive (thanks again Julius) but when you check your lap times...
Just quick check for you D :
Can you drive your 710 with 35F and 35R with your current setup?

Where do you live GoldFinger?
If I'm as old as the track in KL then this chappie is as old as ground its on!
Having said all that, he is one character you don't want to mess with on or off the track and yes, he IS faster than me despite bing much older

No. I have not had the chance yet ! Do you need to do that? Better / faster?

But when my setup is really dial up, it is not a problem anymore while using that shore. That is why Im gonna use that as my benchmark to dial up my setup too every track I race.
Better/faster? Not significant.. but easier to spot the setup problem.. like tire wear, camber adjusment.
Im using 37/37 or 40/40 now.

yellow springs
Hi
Is there anyone who think that the rear yellow shock absorber springs are a bit too short?
They are shorter than the previous one coming with impulse or 705 Kit.
It is not a big problem, setting the ride height the collars go down until almost the end of thread
But when I check the tweak lifting the rear, the springs don’t push the arms down to downstop. One wheel lift before the other because, probably, the suspension arms on this side move a bit less freely than the ones in the other side
The shocks length is ok, downstops setting is ok
Any tips?
Thanks
Ciao

The springs may seem short but once its installed onto your car it should be fine. Make sure both shocks are equal lenght.

After you determine that the sway bar moves freely by itself, mount the sway bar on and check the tweak. If they tweak is off, adjust the rod length connecting the sway bar to the lower rear arm to suite the tweak.

The only thing i do not like about this car so far is the e clip on the 2 speed. the cut in the shaft seems to be too narrow or the clip is not big enough
