Some strong statements about a car you have never seen for real.

Everytime new cars came up, this always happened from those who are not ready to let go what they have now.. even the same with the real automobile..

One thing for sure like couple of members have mentioned, if S710 fail, they will fall... That shouldn`t be the real case I bet..

Looks promising at a price with all those goodies.. all you have the proof is performance out of the box.

It looks as if they are using a different plastic material also; they claim it to be stiffer. Traditionally, the stiffer the material, the lighter. The 705's plastic was VERY durable, mainly because it was so flexible. This is, so far, my only concern with the car, that the pieces COULD be brittle, or "tc3ish" as I call it.

Nevertheless, the 705 wasn't that heavy, at least mine wasn't, compared to other cars out there.

-The third wishbone should not be a concern, especially with alluminum pivot balls.

-The pullies will make no noticeable difference, especially since where the car appears to gain more teeth on one pulley it is losing them on another.

-3rd body post . That has to be the most advantageous 0.0000001 ounce (exaggerated, of course) piece possible. Its weight is minuscule enough to not even mention.

-It looks to have smaller bearings throughout.

Yeah... that is the only thing we should concern about.
So racer do not have to releasing all of their kungfu to find a good setup.

Performance Through Evolution !!
Hope this time they do the evolution process in the factory and by track testing (just like "evolution" said)

How could that stiffer is ligther?? less molecules?

I believe the S705 material is already the hardest compare to others, mainly khyoso and mugen.. which where China and Taiwan made...

Whats wrong with Taiwan made?
Almost everything is made there today.

True serpent is not made there, but talk about quality

It looks like you serpent people finally have something to talk about.
I still cant believe they havent offered universals for the new car, if they do they should come with the car. NOT AN OPTION!

Nothing wrong,

Basically Japan and or Europe has higher standard...

It would have been the same when purchasing TV for example, I prefer to buy Sonny or Panasonic and the japan made (within specific tipe) must be higher in price (that`s for sure with a reason beside labor cost), but somehow giving me more of a self convindence on its quality..

That`s my opinion..

Hi, is it true that the new MTX3 will be out Feb`04?

Yes, universals would be nice as an addition.. better yet it comes with the kit

Sony = Made in Japan Sonny = Made in Taiwan

Only JK...........

That may be true

but very very few cars are actually made there right now. I am talking about 1/10th touring cars.

If there is a car which is good and made in Japan, please let me know

in case you play EP.. you will be very happy with TRF414 performance and its duraliblity.. soon TRF415. In GP, I`m not sure which one but you should feel convidence driving mugen even they being produce in Taiwan but still under Japan specs.

Nope.. Sony mostly made in China. They recently built a plant there.. not subcon tough.. but stil the very high end model is made in Japan.. Furtherthough before I end this `off topic` discussion, they are one of my Japanese customers (for my realtime business field).

Anyone care to eplain more on how that re-active rear suspension works on S710?

We should start a new thread.... Sony 710 ???

Pyramid: in case you play EP.. you will be very happy with TRF414 performance and its duraliblity.. soon TRF415
... Im dying to wait for a GP car that handle just like 414. Hope this 710 will do.

As for re-active RR Susp. Im not pretty clear about this one. Is it like a "bump steer" condition in FR susp of 1/8 Buggy ?

Haha
I dont play EP, but it will be cool to see them produce a competitive gas car eh
