Since I built the 710, the 705 was orphaned. It was made worse when I had to cannibalised my 705 in Thailand for the servo and receiver because I had some problems.
Just got a cheap servo for the throttle. I'm putting it back slowly and planning to run the 705 this weekend just to kick those with a 710 !
Oh yes, it is slightly modded with Centax 3 and the gearbox from the 710 fitted on. 
I'll run the 705 with a salon shell.

Here's a link to the 710 FAQ which has been put together from postings to this group.
It's a good idea to read through it (even print it out for building tips), as it contains a lot of useful info.

Here is how it looks like. This was on my 705. I believe it's the same way they have lightened the aluminum pulley adaptor on the 710.

Yup, you need Jedi mind tricks to do that. Just think very hard about making the binding dissappear and it will. That's how I clean my car. I don't use your expired Photoshop filter anymore !

Cableties... I am glad to see it in use as when a car flips over for whatever reason, traction roll, movie stunt, whatever, the engine head is the first thing to get scratched... which is painfull if you spent a few hours rebuilding your new engine as you should... These just help releive the pain a little and protect the engine head\cooling fins.

If its the size of the glow starter I dont think in any way it will scratch unless your body tears open or cracks big time.

Cyba, you are right, I know that there is a body and a handle\roll bar but anything can happen... you know... I was told once that the internet is addictive, I have been on the net for years, but one thing I am addicted to is this forum. Thank you guys. It is the 11th today here, and payday is the 26th... then I can place my order on the 29th... I CANT WAIT, nearly time for delivery...
