and best german beer at that :nod: :D I'll drink one for you :nod: :lol:

Nice work Mark show those mugen queens!:lol:

Did you have your serpent when you were with her? because if i dont start paying more attention to my partner and not to my 710 she might become the same "death-queen-bitch from hell" :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: And if you're unlucky she'd turn into an evil-death-queen-bitch from hell....which is one step worse :lol: :lol: :lol:
But, no, I didn't have my serpent at that time - wish I had, then things would have never got that far :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes the old spectra module. Thats what I do till this july when the futaba module comes out. This way I can put the spectra back in my hitec controller and sell it.:D :D :D :D :D

Congrats Mark on your display of snakesman ship !!!!!!!!! SERPENT RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

servo linkage of the rod very close to the front belt
 

I have read that depending what servo you have you will need to change the length of the linkage to clear the belt. I saw this here or in the 710 forum on MyTSN.com. I saw lengths posted for three different makes of servos.

Sorry I do not have the answer.:( :eek: :weird: :cry:

NEW RIMS FOR THE 710
 

WHEN ARE THEY GONNA COME OUT?:sneaky:

This is true I have one from the xs3 and I had to modify the rx box

I have heard that thr JR recievers fit and Don't fit...So what should I look into getting, I want a radio that I can chage the frenquency withoutthe crystals.
Thanks

This Body should fit the 710...Right?

I've seen the body in person. When done nicely, it's superb. As to your question, perhaps yes and perhaps not. Sorry I do not have the answer. But it looks like in the rear you have very limited space... Just an observation.

It looks to me that it may be too narrow, that's my concern

Re: servo linkage of the rod very close to the front belt
 

Well, for some servos like Sanwa / Airtronics I believe, you could stick to the length like what the manual mentions.

But I for one prefer shorter regardless of the servo make. The only thing is at neutral position, the servo arm is not 90 degree perpendicular with the servo casing. But that's OK for me if it'll make left and right steering throw the same as well as clearing the front belt at the same time. I'll repost the pics here again for those interested as today is Friday.;) :lol:


********************************

Shortened the steering rod linkage connecting the steering servo to the servo saver. Manual suggest 44.5 mm. Try 39 to 40 mm. You may have to trim the balljoints and cut the rod linkage as well.

I posted this sometime back;

I cut the metal (the stock rod linkage) down to 17 mm. Stock lenght of the rod linkage is 23 mm from tip to tip.

As for the plastic, I trimmed the length of the ball cups. The picture attached shows the top one being the original (and uncut) and the bottom one is the one that was trimmed.

This combo gives the total length of the ball cups and rod linkage assembly as 39.5 mm instead of 44.5 mm.

Also, I made the servo horn on the steering servo at 90 degrees to the servo linkage instead of 90 degrees to the servo casing at neutral.

On second thoughts, you may be right ! It list only Tamiya electric cars that can fit the bodyshell.
