Hi JKA, welcome to the 710 forum - the friendliest and most helpful forum there is :D :lol:

To give you a head start in the world of 710, here's the 710 FAQ, which is a maintained collection of the best postings from this forum....so don't worry about having to read every forum entry :blush: :eek: :lol:

http://www.rctech.net/forum/attachme...&postid=786381

There are a couple of things which break on the 710: the rear shock tower - this has now been improved by serpent (a thicker version is now available - ask your LHS).
The front shocks can break under certain circumstances (refer to the FAQ chapter 8.5 for a mod).
The lower rear suspension arms: the pivots balls can come out a little too easily - to prevent this, you can either use the older steel pivot balls, or screw the alu pivot balls in a bit further and then use wheel spacers to get back the desired track width.

Best advice: print out the FAQ and have a good read through. Also, ask away, even if the questions seem dumb :D :lol:

Cheers, Mark.

Hey guys,

Long time Mugen owner...just asembled my 710 and kicked the MTX3 out of the house...

Anyway,

Where are you guys mounting your switch? I searched for some pics, but couldn't find one that gave me a definitive answer.

Thanks!!

Mike

Does anybody know the factory settings for the Novamega SX12 SS? High-speed? Low-speed?
Thanks.

Hey,

Im curious, in what ways does the 710 kick the mtx-3 out of the house in terms of assembly?

thanks

or,

do you just mean you've gotten a new car and ditched the mugen:sweat:

Just ditch the switch ;) One less thing to worry about.

Ditched the mugen...sorry if I wasn't clear...

Not having a switch means I have to plug it in every time I need to power on the elec...not a option I seem to like..

InitialID is a book of knowledge?

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.....

HE IS THE GURU.

and not only 710.... try ask him 705 and impulse.

HE IS THE SNAKE. DARTH SNAKE i would say.

:deathstar

and not only him... i think all of you here are getting BETTER and BETTER eveyday... provided you browse in rctech EVERYDAY.

I know that if I want more acceleration i must go to a smalled pinion and if I want more top end i need a larger 2nd speed pinion. however I noticed that you can change spurs..? so now i am a bit confused. I guess you can achieve the same effect depending on if you change spurs or pinions? or is there a difference / advantage to changind one over the other?

can someone point me to some lit. in regards to the difference between a one way and a locked axle? (front of the 710)
and their benefits and idea behind it. I want this info in efforts to decide what is best and when to use it.

so far I know that with the one way i only have rear breaks and i must be smooth breaking so i do not sping out. I also know that it lets the front wheel spin at their own speed independently... (but doesnt a diff do this also?)

thanks in advance !!!
