Thanks! :D I can't take credit for this one, though. I started with F1 photos well after the great Gilles Villeneuve died :( G.Villeneuve and Senna were, for me, the last great F1 drivers.

Woow, Rene was is exile all this time (2 years??) when testing the 710? :eek: Ummm, sounds like Serpent is more of a prison camp than anything...:lol:

Hooked I am not ... curious as hell ... yeah I am! Hehehee ... still love my Mugen.

I bet you'd like to be thrown in that prison, though, InitialD! :lol:

Both were great drivers but I guess times change and MS took it to a new level with sponsorship, PR, branding and commercialism. Well, Bernie did well for a used-car dealer!

2 Years for me its more than 2 weeks that i didn't see him:weird: (driving there new project a Mini-Z):ha:
Nice to live near the Serpent homebase:nod:

As a slave to the camera man? :lol: :lol: :lol: Anything !!!

S710!
 

Congradulations Serpent on the new S710! It looks great and can't wait to get my hands on one and am looking forward to having a great future with Serpent, keep up the good work guys...

SN :nod:

One of the reasons I got out of F1 - it was such a pain-in-the-arse!!!
The path of F1 was enevitable once sponsorship became big in the late 80s. Today F1 is something different to what I remeber - I gave up following it a couple of years ago :(

He Rene if you ever want to clear the rookkie stage better post in here! We like to have the experts (all the Serpentguys) in here:nod:

Schrijver99, I think you only need one more post to transcend to the next level :D

It was not like prison :nod: . Testing that long time and already knowing to have a better car, but still driving on races with the existing car:cry: , was the hardest part of it.
I’m happy that it’s over. Now we can really go for it.
:cool:

Rene:

I read somewhere that to turn the one way to a solid diff you need to buy a option to do so? What is it and does it have a part number?

Also,

As i am new to serpent, are the springs for the 710 the same as previous models and do you offer them in a full kit or just in pairs etc?

Taken from the 710 FAQ;

is there a solid front axle included in the kit ?

Almost; the standard front shaft with one-way bearings can be locked by using the optional set #802252; in this set are 2 pins to lock the front shaft (there are 2 holes in the shaft and holes in the 2 driveshaft adaptors and an alu bushing to slide over the pins). Pictures in the product-section soon.

So I guess you need to buy the optional part that locks the one way front.

The shocks are the same as the 705. The yellow springs in the pics look the same as the ones from the 705. But in the FAQ, it is mentioned that there are going to be new optional springs.

Thankyou InitialD! I appreciate your assistence...
