What front and rear trackwidth are you running? Wider front trackwidth to 200 mm. Like some already mentioned, raise the front roll center by putting all the shims (2 mm + 2 mm) just under the CF radio tray, stiffen the front sway bar.

Well, you gotta give some chance to the other guys at your track to get to the podium !
Else, not so nice if you keep hogging it throught the whole nitro season !

True. I would not get parts like CVDs from them. But from the looks of it, they seemed pretty OK. I got the front upper SSG bumper brace and the titanium 2 speed shaft. The 2 speed shaft seems to hold fine after a weekend of continuous playing.

If you have an engine / pipe combo that is high end biased, gear the car such that it will take advantage of it. This means smaller pinions and bigger spurs. Vice versa if you have an engine / pipe combo that is low end biased. By gearing correctly, you can actually make a torquey engine / pipe combo have the same top speed as a high rev engine. You just need to use smaller spurs and bigger pinions to achieve it.

Yup. That's the one. Let us know how it goes. What I know is that the 3 Racing CVDs for Mugen are very brittle. I hope the 3 Racing ones for the 710 will hold up.

I also believe in that.. but funny thing.. those made in Europe/Holland cracked plastic arms mentioned before because of weahter changes... at such that price, how the hell didn`t you put them inside humidity chamber and do strength test after the whole 2 years of research?? I just don`t buy that kind of excuses.

I guess there are exceptions.
Well, seriously, the 3Racing parts are not that good. However, different people have different opinions.

I don't think I should raise up front roll center coz It was not enough steering and I believe I should raise up rear roll center first . I feel I got a lot of rear traction and make my car got traction roll !
I will try out a few things this week end ... I hope my car will not be traction roll until broke thing again !!
Last week, I broke front absorber and rear wishbone because of 2 time of traction roll. My car flew like SpiderMAN to the wall

Looks good. Track is mostly high speed. Perhaps a solid front axle would be good for this track.

But if you look the other way around, decreasing rear traction by higher rear roll center increases the front traction and you'll have problems again !
Perhaps you can list your current setup and post it here. From there, we can brainstorm and give you our inputs and the changes that need to do. Always remember, change one thing at a time.

Normally, during the week, I'd have been up nearly an hour by now - I get up really early! and for some reason, only known to my brain, he has decided that 5:30 is a good time to wake up on the weekend!!
