It's true that driving a oneway and a full time 4WD needs different driving styles. That is why I am really wanting to go back to oneway. I have actually driven oneway all my time with the Impulse and 705. I only tried diff and front solid when I got the 710.

For the front ball diff, the same setup as per the front solid was fine except I thought I changed to all around 40 shore tires instead of using softer front. Then I started playing around with a different setup. That too worked out pretty well on small and medium size tracks.

I used a little more droop due tot he track being bumpy. I tried playing with 4 x 1.2 mm hole shocks with 35wt oil and yellow springs. It works quite OK for our bumpy tracks. Sometimes it makes it too bouncy especially with the problem I had in the rear ball diff outdrive. Perhaps I will try 40wt or even 50wt with 5 x 1.2 mm holes like our friends in Holland and see how it goes.

My problem is that the KO switch has some other battery cable, which I modded and it now seems like it will work, however, it does not turn on the receiver or servos, so, in my frustration, I removed it and now have a plug, so so switch on, I plug the battery in, and unplug when it is over, like Dee, I think. I will check the switch later, I think it is a loose connection to the receiver cos my charger picks up the switch and the light on the switch comes on, but no response from the servos. I have all my wiring quite neat, but I will add some protection as the may rub on the ground lightly when the chassis bottoms out.

Hi there Sow... Can you check my account, I registered the day you told us about it, but I never received a confirmation message? and I am not able to log in, I then reqested a new password, but that has not come through, I fear I may have mistyped my email, but I am not able to check as I cant get in. Please can you check for me, my username is BaxterC (surprise, surprise).... I think I am loosing my technical abilities... My poor job will suffer...

Ehm, my brain is going - which problem did I have

That could be it my engine skills are now way behind everything else - too much time spent with the Surikarn

Uhmm ... I only ordered ONE Hudy tool this time .. so it must be Mark and D then

No need to apologize ... just buy both cars and then come over to MACH in June ..

That's an ivitation from an old man, not a challenge to arms.

Sorry i actually ordered three of them as my sons race as well. Watch the ordering system when i placed my order they where in stock, however i got an email today from them to say that they could only supply two.

Ummm, I think Golfinger is blaming the 3 of us for the 15 or so extra pages on this thread. Not about cleaning up the stock at rcmushroom !

Talking about swiping the stock , somebody comes back home from time to time to bring back the loot to UK ! No wonder we're having stock problems with items like tires and Serpent parts ! Racers in UK are having a wonderful time I guess...

It's not even Monday and the brain is already mushy? Perhaps too much radiowaves...

You mentioned that your 2nd speed engagement was not constant...

Planning to open a parts store D?

Actually, I would also like to buy 10 Mr Hudy!

What did you hit to break your car?
You must be rich to buy a $350+ car and sell it for only $50.
That's a $300+ loss.
Did you have the upgraded parts?

Definately the microwaves plush the shock that my boss has left the project now I'm responsible.

The 2nd speed was simply that I had the screws too loose - the 2nd gear came in too early. I'll be rebuilding it tonight and have a closer inspection, though

Now i just recieved another email from RC-Mushroom. The KO-60224 on/off switch is going to be in stock on Monday.

But with it being a glass car, he probably had to sweep the bits up off the track - not much worth in a load of old broken up glass

Too bad Serpent didn't make his car out of plastic and carbon fiber.
Maybe he wouldn't of had to sweep up all that glass.

I'm glad that my 710 wasn't made out of glass.
