In short, this tool is totally awesome !!!
I wish I had one years ago. It makes gap measurement so easy and quick it is crazy! No fumbling with calipers trying to get consistent measurements and having to do any math to calculate your clutch gap or endplay.
The newest version of this tool will work with ALL versions of the Centax clutch (from Serpent and Mugen anyways)... Centax-1, Centax-2, and Centax-3.

This is a great tool that makes Centax clutch building/adjustment very quick and easy. Team Tamale also offers several other products and tools for RC cars.

No worries, they will come. We weren't happy with the mould at first. Correcting the mould took a LOT more time than expected. I can't give an exact time when they will become available though.

All good things come to those who wait?

Does that include the wait for the other hop-ups mentioned a while back for the 710 ?

I would like to try one out before investing on one though.

That's what Serpent USA should be releasing soon.
I don't see the solid rear axle or the CVD's yet.
I might be mistaken, but I think the CVD's for the 950R are on that list.
Hopefully they'll be out for the 710 soon.

Mazda 6 Wing
Hey D,
Did you cut out those little slots on your wing?
It doesn't look like you did.
I remember when people were testing the Protoform LMP 1/8 body.
They found that the body was better when cutting out the slots.
Here's a quote from Mytsn.
"After a good weekend of 1/8 practice, I felt the Protoform shell(after opening up the rear slots) the car was much much better. The car turned better than before. REALLLLYYY... stable, point and just squeezzzee the trigger. No matter what..it'll go where u want it."
I just wanted to know if anyone tried the Mazda 6 with the slots cut out on the wing.
If you did, let me know how it handles.

I think CVDs are even-stevens, depends on one's preferences

You mean the aero wings that go on the middle of the wing like the Alfa 2.1? I don't use them. It increases straight line stability if I'm not mistaken but takes out steering.

I'm talking about the holes that are cut out in the picture.
It's sort of hard to see it, but it's in the middle of the wing.

but who care, we normally won't reach the top end anyway

If you want the same kind of acceleration as the stock geared FW05R (1st gear FDR of 7.47) with 62 mm tires, you need to gear the 710 with 16/61 (1st gear FDR of 7.15) with a tire diameter of 59 mm to get the same kind of launch.
As for the 2nd speed on the 710, use 21/57 (FDR = 5.09) with 59 mm tire diameter to match with the FW05R's FDR of 5.44 with 62 mm tires if you think that the top end of the FW05R is suited for your track.
