Bugger! :( You're are just too quick, D! :cry: :lol: :lol:

Ok, I'll post some guts tonight! :D

Have a prob, though :cry: It seems some of my H11 grub screws are missing. I've had to fit some 12mm grub screws which I had spare from my 705 for the downstops :( I'll have to give the serpent guys a note to see if they could send me some.

But boy, does this thing go together easy!!! No blisters at this point! :D

For comp. body use .1mm thickness. For alu. body use .2 - .3mm in rear and .1mm in front.

So only 0.1 mm shim goes into the base of the bottom cap first for composite shock body and for aluminum shock body, 0.2 to 0.3 mm goes into the base of the bottom cap first and 0.1 mm in between the O ring and the aluminum shock body?

Tip: replace o-ring, everytime you rebuild the shocks.
Ummm, why do you need to replace it everytime? Does the shim cut the o rings?

Ummm, step 1.3? Those are the upstops screws which are not needed actually. The downstop screws for the 710 front is in step 1.7 on the upper bumper plate.

Anyway, if my memory serves me well, I think you can find those H11 grub screws packed in a separate plastic together with the spring for the carb linkage.;)

Spring for the carb?? Does the 710 come with a throttle return spring?

SupermaxxRich 03-03-2004 10:22 PM

OOPPS! Carb linkage! I should finish reading everything first!:blush:

No, this is actually the spring you put in front of the carb linkage to allow the servo horn to compress when you brake and push the servo horn back to neutral.

You can refer to step 9.7 on page 31 of the manual.

Yep, thats what I figured, too - but I still need an extra one for the Centax.

Ok, I'll check again - I went through all the bags last night, but, due to tiredness, I could have missed something :D

The most obvious one is the front but my recent experience with the 710 showed that the side one gave way first before the front ! :eek:

The rear belt would last the longest in my opinion.

SupermaxxRich 03-03-2004 10:36 PM

how long did you get on that side belt?
