You are right, D !
I too am pretty sure that you have to use a HARD header with this pipe... but maybe the Team Majic header also works. I know that the coupler design of the 'adjustable' 1-pc pipes is reverse that of other 1-pc pipe like NovaMega.

I wanted to use this pipe, since our shorter more technical tracks will benefit more from bottom and mid power than top end. We race on a paved parking lot with a straight that is less than 150' long.

For other larger tracks I plan to use my NovaMega 2170 pipe with 2175 header.

hehehe

There are others who did a VERY nice job of hiding the wiring on their S710, by tucking it all up behind and underneath things. I like to have my wiring exposed (but tidy) so I can get to it easily.

The pipe does look amazing, doesn't it?
Hoping it will work well on my tight track. I will follow InitialD's advise and keep a rich HSN setting (within limits of course).

Intial D,

I am kicking the idea around. I am not sure why though, my Mugen has been performing flawlessly but I still have a desire to run the 710 again.
The Snake has got you...

I must admit it is still tidy. Tell me, I know that some guys run a gel cel in there starters, I would like to know if there are any pics of the 'new' powerstart starterbox grey with a gel cel inside it, I want to see the mods if I can.

I personally have never tried to run a gel-cell inside my Serpent starterbox. I did however put one in my old starterbox (Dynamite?) with the large external motor. But I don't use that anymore.

I have the 12V wiring hooked up inside my Serpent grey starterbox so I can hook it up to an external car battery.

But I too would like to see an example of a gel-cell in a Serpent starterbox.

Ah ha... So I'm not the only one. I will post once I do it, I will be rewiring my starter when I get it with some 12gauge Wet Noodles and force in a 12v gelcell, but it would be easier to see it first. I think I will take it to the security place where i will get the cell from and check, there are 2 sizes, one is a smaller ~250VA and the other is like ~500VA. I dont know what that is in mAh but it is HIGH!!!

Default Gel Cell in Serpent Starterbox

Hey, while you're at it, get rid of the teensy weensy 540 silver can motors and add some cobalt drag motors! You could probably turn over a small block Chevy V8 with that combination.

ruuh ruuh ruuh....

I would love to but the budget has a budget now as I have just spent around ~$1500 this month on RC stuff and the better half is stressing a lot, I am beginning to a little... Maybe in the next few months. BUT, I have been planning to add some BIG buggers in there, Like some E-Maxx mod motors, But I was thinking about some coreless motors as I hear they are lighter on the battery power, but have a lot of power, but they have built in speed controllers, which mad be a bugger to get to run at max power...

Default Last pieces of the 710 Jigsaw!

Got my servos from the border guys Now all I have to do is put the rest of the parts together and run the 710 in Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until the weekend to get everything done - but I can wait another couple of days

Here's a pic of the last bits:
