Maybe you should ask what platform the mytsn is run on...

Yup. Mytsn does not list it. Check out on RCCarinternational. They should list it.

You mean 835...

It is actually the rear shock tower from the 835. The rear shock tower comes in the 808138 package but they should come loose too. Even the 835 manual list it.

Here's a pic of my Impulse Pro with the floating body mount.
I did a little modification so that I could use long body posts for touring car bodies.
It probably won't help you Mark, but take a look anyways.

Thanks for the pic - I reckon I've got the bulk of the items I need - just need the floating rear end now

Cheers, Mark.

You need the rear GTP shocktower so that the GTP rear floating mount will work correct.
If you don't mind not being able to adjust the position of the rear shocks, you don't need the rear shock tower.
Take a look of my picture for an example.

I'm thinking of putting an engine back into that car, and using it to mess around at the track.

Have you thought of investing in a 1/8?
I love my 710, but like driving my 1/8 more.

I bought a second hand Vector NT last year - justs needs an engine and a servo Have you ever driven the 1:12th scale GTP style cars? They are really fun to drive, but I still find tourcars more challenging

I've driven a friends 1/12 before, but not in a race.
1/8 scale cars are ballistic, but I find it easier to drive.
I guess that's why I enjoy running the 1/8 more.
I agree with you that touring cars are more challenging to drive.

This is what I found with the 1:12th vs the 1:10th touring cars, too. I like to blast with the 1:12th, but I really like the setup challenge and driving challenge of the 1:10th better and therefore I don't drive the 1:12th so often.

So how do you like the 710 so far?
