Some nice close-ups if it is possible, so I can see in detail what you've done.Cheers, Mark.

Thanks for the pics, Mark.

The 850mah I use for the receiver pack are made up using GP cells. I dont think you can buy an 850 pack pre-made (not seen one anyway).

That is correct the 850 pack I am using I built my self from 850 GP and SANYO which I bought in EBAY
Hi racers

How much should I put it in.
Should I put it yust in front or to rear d.bones to?

As said before, i have a oversteer on corner exit problem. I want to change springs as a last ting. And i wonder, will standing the front shocks more vertical, pos. 3-4 give the car less"bite" in the turn, and cure my problem?? Changing to harder shore is another sulution right? and less caster?
Hello to all,
I just joined the crowd here with the 710. I understand from local drivers that its front droop will change at impact because the upper bumper holds the droop screws. What are your ways to recitify this problem? I've seen 3racing's graphite upper bumper but that's gonna crack easily.
Thanks for your help.

Assembly Questions
I am installing the new 802235 Spacers for Steering Blocks and Rear Uprights and I have a few questions.
1. I have heard that some people have had problems with the spacers causing the bearings to spin in the uprights. Is this so and what caused the problems?
2. When you install the spacers they sit between the inner race of the two ball bearings, do you set the endplay for the wheel axle snug (no lateral play) or a very small amount of endplay when you position/tighten the wheel-adaptor hex?
Differentials?
1. When you assemble the front and rear differentials what do you use to lube the ball bearing #1326, Serpent Bearing oil or Mugen Super Grease?
2. Do you lube the friction surface between the pulley and diff axle and what do you use?
3. When I was putting the front diff together I noticed that it did not use the o-ring #1065 and Spacer #801436 to hold the friction collar to the pulley. My front diff came with a outside snap ring to hold the friction collar on. What is the preferred method for the front and rear differentials?

I personally think that it's the best thing 3Racing did.
Anyway, welcome on board.
p/s: Be careful of the droop screws when you screw into the aluminum piece. You may want to put some loctite thread lock (blue) on it so that it does not come out. In fact, be careful in all the 3Racing aluminum pieces when you thread in the screw. Easily stripped.

Perhaps you may want to approach markp27 regarding his patented Photoshop filter to clear the dirt off the car before posting the pics !

I only lube the balls. Put some grease on a tissue paper and rub the balls evenly with the grease so that the balls are coated with a thin and even layer.
