Mark, I feel bad for you.
I guess it wasn't your day.
But at least you didn't break anything.

I only started with RC last year and never really had the time to do much driving with the 705. To improve my driving, I bought an EVO III last November. Now returning to the 705 my driving is much better than last year - my only problem is my memory! 
I actually didn't have one "off" today - which is amazing considering how twitchy the car was - the EVO III winter practice really paid off

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!!
I installed a KOPROPO electronic swith on my car and used the tips on MYTSN. Here is a link. You must login I think? http://www.mytsn.com/publ/publ.asp?pid=9658

and I hope things go better when I get back
Cheers, Mark.

I just got back from the US and thought I'd join the race at my club (the outdoor one). Of course, all winter I've been playing indoors and the outdoor track had been wet all night.
It wasn't a good start for anyone including me. By heat 3 I got the car to perform better but the problems go on and on. They were small ones but enough for me to say "bugger it, I'll pack up and go watch the Bahrain F1!"
Time to rebuild the car ... it hasn't been serviced since I bought it and its done at least 5 races in Asia and Europe!

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..

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.

I think you missed that Serpent has updated the DRS arm too. It's now longer so the pivotball threads in deeper.

I forget that the 710 has two "arms" I'm still "playing" with my 705, but the 710 will soon hit the track

Anyway, let me know next time when you update the FAQ so I can upload it to RC Reviews.
The latest version (1.0.1) is on there now folks!

Cheers, Mark.
