after going threw the car i could tell the chassy was twested after putting it on blocks and wiggling the car i replaced it and it didn't wiggle anymore but what the car does is that when it is sitting on a flat surface and push down on the rear left tower the front right tire lifts when i do it to rear right the front stays down i think there is tweek that i am not seeing i have tried every thing in the unaficial faq and can't seem to find what is wrong i checked all the rear hinge pins no bindging or bent pins and every thing is smothe has anyone had this problem.

Have you checked the droop screw settings are ok? D wrote an extensive method of checking the car for tweak, which is in the FAQ (Section 6.14.4). Go through this and see if everything is ok.


Cheers, Mark.

the clutch had to be loosened or the spring it was ingauging to late i have ordered the yellow shoes i taught it my slip
were can i find the faq 6.1
thanks for all the help

What did they do to the clutch? If the flyweights are still stock mounted, get the yellow Centax clutch shoes. It'll grab better.

Cool. There's always next time.:nod:



Try taking out everything leaving just the chassis. Put the chassis with the bottom side facing up on a flat surface like a piece of glass. Even when new, there are chances that the chassis will be bent slightly in the middle where the receiver pack is even when new. As long as the chassis does not bend from side to side, they should be OK.



I think the clutch may be slipping and causing the engine to bog down. Check the FAQ.

Download the FAQ revision 2.2 here or you can download it at mytsn under the 710 product page / download section. Refer to section 6.14.

Even with the stock flyweight mounting, loosening the spring with the stock black Centax clutch shoe would not make the Centax engage good. You need the yellow Centax clutch shoe with the stock flyweight mounting.:nod:

I suggest you go through the compiled FAQ to understand the 710 better.:)

European pricing
 
It's not just Asia that has low prices afterall:

http://shop.radiostyrt.no/index.php

GQ 1:10 touring tyres for under $10
3Racing optionals for prices comparable to (or lower than) RC-Mushroom!

The shop owner told me he only buys directly from the manufacturers to keep prices as low as possible. That results in the only downside; he doesn't offer many products for now.

I already received some sets of GQ tyres. I haven't tried them yet but the looks just say quality. The tyres are sealed in plastic so they don't dry up and there are even little stickers on the inside of the rim with the shore rating. :D

Maybe because we in Europa have something called "Winter" and it is sometimes required to store the tyres for a few months... :cry:

Yeah I noticed that.:lol: We use up tires here faster than you say "Jack Robinson" ! :sweat: :lol: I guess no need to store tires then.
