I think he was trying to check the functioning of the diff itself.

I am almost ready, building my 710, but i wonder, why isnt there a 5th bodypost in the kit??

How should i fix a 5th post on this car. Anyone have some pic`s of how it can be done?

And also, i have a Mazda 6 body, but when i try to fit it, the rear bodyposts, are coming out of the wing???

With the mazda 6 body the body posts go through the wing that's the way I have it , or you can put the body mounts on the other side of the shock tower.

You need to mount the body post in front of the rear shock tower.

Alternatively, you can read up on what I just did ... courtesy of Mark Green's mod ... I did the same but with a slight difference.

Go to 3Hobby.Com and read the article on the front page "710 Rebuild: One more mod ... "

Oh ... and another video in a couple of hours too.

I did not get the note or the spacer in all three kits.

I believe with the newer bronze coloured pinions (1st gear especially), you do not need them anymore.
The spacing between the pinions is smaller than the spacing of the two speed gears. The spacer might correct the problem. I have assembled the pinions on the light weight clutch bell and they run true without the spacer.

I mounted mine the same. The rear body post on the rear shock tower is mounted the other side (towards the front). But I believe you need to pull and mount the shell more towards the rear. Some shaving of the front foam bumper is also required.

Right. Perhaps a gentle "reminder" from the Tx manufacturer that we ought to use "their" servos.
I spent 3 hours last night installing Helios on my S710. Results, I put my 3pk back on as it by very far more convinience and safer

Im asking to KO PROPO how to make the servo come "alive" without switching ON the TX first.
Here is the answer :

Arifin,
I would install a switch in-between you battery and receiver. It is safer to turn on your Tx first, then your Rx.
Sincerely,
Robert Morris
KO PROPO USA, Inc.

Is anybody ever see the Mr.Burch and Mr.Cyrul car?
Is there any "switch" in it ?
