Right... In case all of you are wondering, I DHL my car back to Stanley Bauer in Holland to let him fix, update and clean my car. The best part is I get Michael, Julius or Rene to set my car up and replace any parts that develop play...:rolleyes: :lol: All in all the turn around time is pretty good. I get my car back in 1 week.:nod: :lol:

p/s: Ok, this is for Mark. That's my secret to a clean brand spanking new car. :lol: :D The real thing. No Photoshop filter tricks ! :lol:

ROTFLMAO :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, so you also used the old part / engine trick?:sneaky: :D :lol:

Yes. But everything needs to be balanced.:nod: Not too much, not too little. Everythings got to be just right.:D

Ya, don't know myself...:rolleyes: :lol:

But since I cannot possibly have enough time to work on my cars, I send them to Stanley. He takes care of my car. Rene, Julius or even Michael will set my car up for me when he's not racing or when he's having a lunch or coffee break ! :lol: That's my secret.:nod: :lol:

Ackerman on 705
 

Julius, I always wanted to ask this... I believe some of us were told that the team drivers (Art Carbonnel / Ralph Burch) used the servo saver from the 1/8th scale on the 705 / Impulse that would give better Ackerman. Do you change this on your 705?

Oh no... That would be Top Gun's engine model or even Boeing's plane... :lol: You wouldn't want to infringe on their patented products do you?:sneaky: :lol: :D

Re: Re: Bearing sizes
 

Ummm, with the aluminum pivot balls, I would assume the unsprung weight and polar moment on the 710 to be very little with the 10 x 15 x 4 bearings.:nod:

Cool, I believe only the 10 x 19 x 5 bearings are different when compared to the 705.:D

Oh yes. That we can do perfectly fine ! :lol: :nod:

But seriously, we are lucky Serpent's online support is top notch. If you were unclear of anything, you could always go to mytsn 705 forums and ask. Imagine what would have happen if the manual suck and there was no online support...:nod:

Chinese proverb?:eek: Wouldn't that be english proverb?;) :D

:confused: Oh Arun the wise one, can you share where did you get this info from?:D

Really?:eek: :lol: Hey Fred, don't be lazy like me. Better get to the tracks then trying to prove a point not worth proving since it is more important to be champ on the track then on the forums ! :lol: :nod:

Why not? Most Impulse / 705 parts are from the Impact / 835. That is why I'm not too worried running the 705.:nod: ;)

Hey, don't forget to send the car to Rene, Julius or Michael for some cleaning and servicing.:nod: Right now with all the postings you make here, you wouldn't have the time to do it yourself. Besides, they will surely do a better job. I'm already thinking of sending your one way front to them for some cleaning...:rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you wanted full brakes, get the front solid axle or a front gear diff instead of using the front one way. It will make driving more forgiving.

What gearing are you using? Stock from the box? The stock gearing is too tall for small tracks. It is only ideal if you run like those long flowing European tracks.

Change the internal pulleys to a higher internal ratio one. 23T brake pulley to 22T. 46T rear diff pulley to 47T. 18T rear side pulley to 17T. Also use 50T 1st gear spur (stock is 49T) and 15T 1st gear pinion (stock is 16T). For second gear, use 46T spur (stock is 45T) and 18T 2nd gear pinion (stock is 19T). That would give you about the same 1nd gear final drive ratio as the stock 2nd gear MTX-3 / V1RR EVO gearing.:nod:
