You are right. Somebody mentioned about it. I believe it was Michael Salven. It was actually to give a reason why the shaft on the 710 was not hollow. The weight reduction in terms of rotational mass is insignificant considering the fact that a hollow shaft would greatly reduce strenght. Rotational mass savings would be insignificant due to the mass being centered very closely to the rotational axis.
Yes you are right. No doubt that there is some savings in rotational mass as well as static mass. Don't know about being more resilient though. I know that the 2 speed shaft on the 705 is pretty susceptible to bending upon impact.
I guess !

Just to clarify, is Titanium stronger than steel for the normal shaft? is titanium brittle?

how often do I have to make these changes?? between heats??
what happens if i don't? will my car handle poorly?

thank AMGracer,
BTW
which one you race more often / like better?
VoneRR Evolution
HPI R40
and.. please dont laugh
what does AMG, stand for?
and DTM .. id like to know that one too

AMG is the in house tuning department of Mercedes. AMG is derived from the original founders' initials: Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher, as well as the town in Germany where Aufrecht was born, Grossaspach.
DTM is Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.

Slowly the 710 is getting there....
Well, I've cancelled my order for my 2106 Novamega engine with my LHS here in DE and am ordering it via those nice guys at The Border Now it can't be too long before I get the 710 onto the circuit.
Tomorrow, the 705 makes its first venture onto the circuit since October - everything rebuilt, re-lubed and reset.
In rebuilding the 705, I saw all the mistakes I made when I first built it last year. It was then my first RC and I thought I'd done a good job in building it - now I recognise that there were several things which I hadn't appreciated when I was building it.
I just hope my engine still starts!

There's this thing about being harder and tougher. Titanium would be harder (hence more brittle) but steel would be tougher (bends but does not break). Those are general characteristics BTW.

It depends what type of Ti you use. Most types of Ti are softer than Steel (6AL-4V for a starter which is the most common Ti used in R/C cars). The problem is using the Ti correctly. For instance, you cant use Ti outdrives with steel pin dogbones as these will just cut through the Ti outdrives in a matter of runs. yet you can use the steel outdrives and use Ti dogbones without any great deal of wear over a full year.
You then have to take into consideration whether the steel or Ti has been temp treated. This also alters the material making it more or less brittle than the next.

Right now my R40 is getting a good workout. Darn nice car but not without its faults I think for my driving style it handles better than the V1RR. Not faster outright but more stable.

Finally ! Ummm, since you are ordering from the Border, why didn't you itch for the new JP FX12 engine?

I wanted to go for a Novamega due to the avalability of spares at my LHS - don't think he has JP engines.
How's your bodyshell coming along? It's Friday!!! Show us the pics
