Originally posted by Rene C. The car will come with the standard springs (not the long one). |
Originally posted by fastharry Do you feel the rear suspension will hold up to the hits it will take,without breaking,or tweaking?..... |
Originally posted by InitialD Having the adjustable roll center feature on the front and rear of the car enables one to adjust the roll centers of the car accordingly ! :lol: Lower roll center (further away from the CG) permits the car to roll more. This means more grip on that end where the roll center is low. But more grip can mean more sluggish. Higher roll center (nearer towards the CG) will resist the part of the car from rolling. This can mean lesser grip but can also mean the car can react faster in and out of corners. |
Originally posted by InitialD Would you think there's problem if one was to use the Veteq version springs on the 710? Any expected performance difference? But be careful, because a blue (rear) veteq spring is only a little harder then a yellow normal spring. |
Originally posted by tIANcI funny bit was when the tire got stuck under the fence ... |
Originally posted by Rene C. But be careful, because a blue (rear) veteq spring is only a little harder then a yellow normal spring. Perhaps, you could give us an estimated rundown on the difference of springs (Veteq vs normal) and their different colours from hardest to softest if possible. |
Originally posted by InitialD That was the first time I "rubbed" against the fence. All I could say was "oh my poor bodyshell or what's left of it" :cry: The second time the FC steering knuckle popped out of the pivot balls on both up and down. Both times was not hard though. Hey you dare say that the shunt was not hard and the knuckle popped out? And you will always taunt me about that happening to my Mugen! |
Originally posted by InitialD Cool.:nod: Thanks for this new info ! :D Didn't know that the Blue Veteq was just a little harder than the normal yellow... What about the Veteq red? Which stiffness do they fit in? Perhaps, you could give us an estimated rundown on the difference of springs (Veteq vs normal) and their different colours from hardest to softest if possible. So when you use a white veteq spring it’s softer than a orange standard spring. |
710 on Rubber Tyres
Can anyone from Serpent comment whether the 710 has been tried on rubber tyres, unfortunately for us Serpent racers in the UK the rubber class is by far the biggest which hasn't traditionally been a Serpent playing field, it would be nice to know that the 710 will be more competitive than the Impulse Pro/705 on rubber tyres with the solid axle or front ball diff. :weird:

Originally posted by InitialD Mark, I think you should do a service to your club's website... Give them a stunning pic which your track so deserves !! :nod: :lol: :lol: Until then, my fav pic of the year - the body doesn't do the pic any favours, but I'm still a better photographer than body builder :D |
Originally posted by Rene C. It's simple. Veteq springs are always nearly 2 steps (colours) softer then standard springs. So when you use a white veteq spring it’s softer than a orange standard spring. |

Originally posted by InitialD :lol: Just noticed something from that pic... Was that pic taken when the car had the Impact front dogbones? The front tires looked a little wide. |

But we are getting some good tyres from UK soon. So then we can tryƒº. I have no experience to drive on rubber tyres. The only thing I know, that the car should be good in balance. And the 710 is good in balance. So I¡¦m pretty sure that it will work well. I know, that it is very important for UK to have a good car on rubber tyres but this is not an international racing class. So for us testing with foam tyres was more important. With rubber tyres we even don¡¦t know witch tyres are good, so we would start from begin. Now we use the knowledge from a UK driver to get the right stuff. We keep going. |
