The shock towers are 2.5mm thick. Is the front upper bumper plate graphite or composite plastic?? lol...yes, please post more picture on the 710 gallery so we can get a better look at this masterpiece!!! :nod: :lol: |
Originally posted by Rene C. Sure we test also other cars to see the real performance. But to be honest, we only test other cars with some knowing setup. We don’t work on other cars. To get a car to his limit you must learn to setup, and that takes much time. We tested many cars to get much information. Ok, the other cars had not the perfect setup, but it gives an injection how the car feels. Saying it short : We are not scared of the others. :sneaky: Have any US drivers(including Flyin' Ralph Burch) driven this car..and were they involved in testing if they have?.. |
YBSLOW
I will begin building my 950R on Tuesday as long as the big brown truck shows up. One serious bullet to go between the engine mounts under way, no more screwin around in 04. U turn over a nevada rock and tenessee rolled out? LOL |

its accounted for in the wallet as the 16 has always been a belt eater no matter which 1/8th scale car it was ever on. LOL

Starter Box
Someone may have asked this already, however I am curious if a different adapter is needed for the Powerstart Starter Box ???
Or is a different starting method required ??? Hello Motorman !!!! Scott Az. |

Originally posted by InitialD How do you account for the 1/8th scale then that uses the 16T pulley in the middle bearing block up front with kevlar belts? Then, there is a 5mm option, (better lifetime) but could not turn very smooth since its rubbing the pulleys inside wall. |

At the product write up of the 710, it is mentioned below int he last lines... To enable you to start your Serpent 710 with the greatest of ease Serpent provide the necessary alignment brackets for your Powerstart™ starter box. Ummm, if they are indeed different mounts from the 705, then it would be difficult for those who run 705 and 710... Unless it is accounted for in the pocket to use 2 starter boxes ! :lol: |

Originally posted by GoldFinger I do not run 1/8 scale, far as I know in my 705 with 103% FR Overdrive, this 16T pulley giving the FR belt very hard time so its became loose easily and you know what happened next.... All of the times, the front belts break because of the pebbles ! :flaming: Originally posted by GoldFinger Then, there is a 5mm option, (better lifetime) but could not turn very smooth since its rubbing the pulleys inside wall. |
its always best to use the biggest pulleys that can be accomodated. big pulleys=less belt wrap drag. some of the 21's I have built for some customers have enough power that snapping rear belts has even been a problem on NT's and MRX's alike so the front really becomes an issue if you run alot of OD. Only thing that seems to really work on the front is an alloy 16 tooth pulley as it stops belt skip when the car shifts on a really sticky track. YBSLOW and Tracy Grieger can vouch for snapped rear belts and they are new ones. The kevlars were the worst, fiberglass type belts streach some and tend not to shock snap we found but their worse for skip. So its a toss up. Tension becomes critical.
My old MTX2 snapped 4 side belts in the same place on Toledo's track the same day one after another when it shifted. I finally gave up and parked it. Scotty hows it going. May join the snake camp again in the spring. It looks real good so far, I'll have to see what feedback you guys give me over the winter. |
Its looks like Marketing @ Serpent have sent out all these Team Drivers to sell the 710 :nod:
Where were these guys during the 705 + Impluse days? |
