Thomas

This thread is today 1 year old......

It had a average post count of 50,41 per day
and a average of 873.87 views per day.

Congrats :D

Today? :confused: I thought it's tomorrow !

Anyway, congrats. :nod: We've come a long way. :D

Wow, really?!

I thought it was a lot older than that. I think there's too many old farts in here, err ... I mean MarkP and InitialD of course. :blush: :sweat:

well, the top three posters account for about 44.3% of the posts. an impressive effort, if the contents of the posts does not matter.

by the way, good job on 3hobby, hope it does not turn into a mini mytsn, we have that already.

:rolleyes: I know you're right but I hate to admit it that you're right so I'll just twist the matrix. Standby ...

:rolleyes: I know you're right but I hate to admit it that you're right so I'll just twist the matrix.

... wait a minute, this is a 710 forum. :p

Data! What's the screen saying about the matrix! Get us back! :lol:

Thanks, a lot of work but a lot of fun in these cold winter nights!

There's a mini MyTSN? Where? Which one? :eek:

:rolleyes: I would say it takes on to know one, but you're too old to be called an old fart - I think the term is decrepit http://3hobby.com/modules/Forums/ima...wistedevil.gif

99% of the 44.3% must be from D :rolleyes: he never takes care about the content :eek: http://3hobby.com/modules/Forums/ima...wistedevil.gif

Nice anti-roll bar from Massimo Fantini:

I agree with you ... it takes one to know one ... does that make you a decrepit then? http://3hobby.com/modules/Forums/ima...wistedevil.gif

Wait a minute, didn't I know a friend who didn't like blade type ARB for the rear? :weird: :sneaky:

Who, what, where - hey man I don't know who you are :D :lol: :lol:

Ehm :confused: I'm too old to remember :cry:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I know that friend too. Anything he sees orange he'll like and forgets all the bad points about it before when it was in a different colour! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:rolleyes: :o

Ok, as your "friend" has a leaning for orange things, ask him where we can get one from :D

Done installing the new servo saver and new diff clamp ring.
I have yet run the car, though due to weekdays activities. Please let me know what the new servo saver does to a car. From what I see it changes the ackermann angle quite a bit (more ackermann angle). What'd be the affect when running on a small track with lots of switchbacks (180 deg turns) ?

I've also not tried it yet. Hoping the rain will go away. :mad:

I believe the new servo saver gives LESS Ackerman angle but you physically get more turning angle on each wheel. Julius mentioned that mid steering would improve on large sweeping tracks. I think someone mentioned here that it was good for him too on smaller tight tracks with 180 degree hairpins.

What is the significance of the egg-shaped spacer on the front sway bar? I find that when I tighten that screw it will cause the suspension to bind.

Thanks,
Jim

The egg-shaped spacer is an eccentric cam and allows you to correct the droop once you install the anti-roll bar. You should set the front droop without the front anti-roll bar installed. But once you have re-installed the anti-roll bar after setting the droop, you'll find a slight difference in the droop right and left. You use the cam to correct this back to what you set.

Cheers, Mark.

I can adjust the droop by rotating the cam? Why does tightening the screw cause the suspension to bind? I have the aluminum sway bar mounts, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

You set your droop with the screws without the anti-roll bar connected, but then you have to re-adjust them once you re-connect the anti-roll bar with the eccentric cam to get the left and right droop equal - otherwise there would be a difference between the two sides.

Ah, yes, forgot to mention about the alu bar mounts. You need to clean up the hole where the bar mounts mount onto the suspension bar pin.
Take a 3mm drill-bit and let it run through this hole a few times - it just takes a tiny bit of material off - enough to free up the movement of the suspension arms again :nod:

Cheers, Mark.

Rain rain go away, little prophet wants to play!

Well, I'm ok now that my worshipers have sacrificed Dr Koo :lol: :lol: :lol:

Although the forecast look good this end, I'm sure we could do with a little help ... so pass over Dr. Koo's arms or laegs will ya? :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

WHAT NEW XMAS GIFTS ARE WE ALL GETTING THIS YEAR?I WANT A SERPENT 950R...:D

is tat the anti-roll bar from east?

Yup.
But far as i know, thesy only had natural-polished color

Perhaps Uncle Massimo got it anodised to orange colour ! :sneaky: Should be easy. Just go to the same supplier that does his orange heatsinks.:sweat: :lol:

If that is EAST product, there is orange one I saw in Mushroom:nod:

Suppose that show that the quality must be ok and that the bladed anti-roll bar is an effective mod for the car. Would be interesting to compare his setup with Michaels, to see if the 2.5mm or 3mm is approximate equivatlent to the setup which Fantini has.

Mark, this blade rear ARB should be better (stiffer) because unlike the other one, the cross-members are made of al. If the fittings are all precise then there is no slop or flexing.

Most if not all 1/8th cars use rear blade ARBs. Like the front, you now get fine adjustments in the rear too.

anybody wanna buy anew 710 with x12 engine? pnm me pelase i need to get rid of it adn to get money

tyr postin g it ni the Fro S ale for um.

They do have it in orange, just not serpent kind of bright orange;)

HEHEHEHEHE:D

i wanna buy a titanium screw set for my 710, and have been looking at the set from East, are they any good, and can i use metric tools on then?

Is there any other brand that is better?

Also need a full bearing set, any recomondations?

I can say that this is the best set I've found because it includes the different ones you need under the chassis as well. Screw heads are as per originals.

Full bearing set? I use the SpeedMind MTX3 set but seems that they're hard to find these days. Maybe you should try this set and let us know how they are.

Hi,

I would get the Acer racing ceramics. The quality seems to be among the highest, and they are easy to get. Just go to: www.acerracing.com, and you can order from there.

I wouldn't get Ti screws. Your driving style needs to be very consistent and smooth for that, else you will bend them very fast.
Go for the Serpent Alu screws only on top of the chassis. Having more heavy screws on the downside of the car will not affect the CG.
