Sure have we seen the changed rear. It’s from serpent. This was a try to make the car easier too drive on small tracks. It has nothing to do with the 710. With the longer upper arm we got a better braking and a bigger sweep-spot. Bad enough, it don’t works on every track. With the 705 we where on the limit, sometimes we mad some changes to go over it. But than it was very difficult to drive. Only Ralf and I used this rear. In begin I liked it, later I used the standard rear again.

To my knowledge, serpent is the only company that uses longer shocks in the rear of the car. Even the first Xray T1 had the longer shocks, but later switched to the same shocks all around when the EVO2 came.

Rene, Is there something that you prefer in running the rear shocks longer? I always figured that since the impulse/705 was an impact-based platform, the long rear shocks carried over, and that any new touring car would have the same length shocks all around. Now I see, however, that the 710 has the long rear shocks. Do they offer any advantage? Perhaps they are softer due to using a longer spring?

Maybe we will make the 2-speed axle and the Middle axle from Titanium.
About the chassis: future is not written.

A 2speed and Middle axle in titanium would be nice

I believe also Schrijver99 told Julius or Rene about this forum personally !

1. I did some measuring on my 705, and it seemed possible to me to put all 5 cells down in stead of 1 in top. That way fuel tank could be reshaped too. Did I do my homework bad 
or is there
another reason not to put all cells down.
2. Other thing I saw Carlos P drive his 705 with 4 cells
. Do the other serpent drivers do this too?

Rene, why 710 not using double disc break? Since single disc trackless was 1mm, if brake pad worn out at 0.3 ~ 0.4 each, when I hard push the brake, due to both disc pad touch together, I got weak brake! That was experience in my Impulse, and the hole for pulley adaptor of the single disc was easy worn out after couple of brake use!! I think single disc is not strong enough to nowadays-powerful engine and running foam!!

Some other drivers don't thrust this and stay with 5 cells. So it's up to you.
What you mean, with reshaping the fuel tank ?
How you want to put down all 5 cells? Have I done a bad homework?

U can put the 5 cells down if you put the fasteners left 1 right in stead of in front& back OR integrate the fasteners in middle block..

With the 710 we have a better brake. The excenter is more in the middle of the brake-pads. When you brake, not only a small part of the brake-pad will be used. It will help to have a better brake with longer life.
