Look to install a TRS on your carb.

I guess I'll use Julius' tip of putting a double sided tape first. But for some receivers, it makes it a little taller in the receiver box making mounting of the receiver difficult.

But don't worry. Your male instincts will be your best guide.

Other than that, you'll get to know some guys at the track and they'll be able to help out on race days - on practice days you won't need much help in re-fuelling

I'm currently using a mixed pipe combo. Inline RDLogic .15 pipe with a Novarossi manifold. That makes for a short pipe with a pipe length of 88 mm. Pretty good high end but perhaps slightly soft on the low end. But that perhaps is made up from the agressive clutch setup.
Makes driving out of corners easy.

Funny think, they do not even perfect fit for the Tmagic G4 as its manifold is below chassis. I believe it is also the case in Mugen or Serpent cars.

- Alfa Romeo 2.1 bit under overall especially high speed sweeper. But make the rear of car feels more planted (stable). Very good to cover "unfinish" rear setup

Hey, how does the Lolita or the Lola shell compare with the sedan shells on the 710?

In very tight twisty tracks an overdrive might be helpfull. We'll see if a 21 pulley is a worthwile option.
There are no plans yet so no need to ask for release dates

Thanks for the little bits...
A slight front overdrive in the drive can also be achieved by using the 705's 46T rear diff pulley instead of the 45T. You need to do some things to make it work though. That'll be worth about 2.5 mm of tire split.
Or you could use the 23T pulley and the necessary aluminum pulley adapter (also from the Impact / 835 / 705) to get overdrive in the drivetrain. Using this would make for about 3.5 mm of tire split.

Hey don't thank me ! Thank Julius and the other team Serpent guys that posted their setup !

Don't mind posting your setup which worked well on your track? I may want to drop by there one day to take a spin !

Macros, nice pics.
Your rear tires need changing. Too small compared with the front.

I've got round to upgrading the FAQ to be more the document I wanted - here's the V1.0 version of it - clearer and more professional layout. Comments would be nice
Cheers, Mark.

After changing to a higher roll center the car does not have traction roll as much which helped alot. The only way without traction roll is to true your tires down alot. But some how im still having traction roll
My front toes out -2 which gives me oversteer which still has traction roll. I need some help with this setup, its frustrating me
The only thing I have done to the settings is red springs, raised front roll center, stiff front sway bar, soft rear sway bar. Everything else is pretty much factory setting.
Does traction roll only happen when the front tires have too much grip or can it happen with the rears as well? Im running 42 shores all around. How much affect does droop have on traction roll? Just want to narrow down my problems so I dont have to be wrenching all day
Im running on high bite track. What about changing to a harder spring? Will that help or make things worse? Sorry for asking all these questions.
