okay here is how it works to get even tire wear you will end up at 2- 3 deg camber and rear 2 deg front camber.... regardless of the track ... just what ends up working... you can try and analize it to death and experiment around all you like but you will just end up there... not to be harsh but that is were tire wear becomes more even and the car performs best... you also will find that you do tear chunks out of your rear tires often at 3 deg rear camber... also try 4 deg rear toe.. this will create a very stable car that jumps out of the corners, especially if you have corners that require you to piviot the car....

Is the 2 speed shaft on the S710 the same or interchangable with the 705 and vice versa? I had someone lighten my 705 2-speedshaft. So, I am hoping that I can use it on the S710.
Thanks in advance.

i.e the more turns, the more chamber angle??

Let me know if anyone wants me to get it for them.
I won't charge extra, so 360USD plus whatever shipping, probably 40USD for shipping...
You might ask why would I do that? Not charging extra? Well I am new to nitro, and have been crashing a lot.. so the more I buy from the store, the more they'll remember me and hopefully give me discount on parts someday!

Guys,
All this talk on Lola bodies... Whats the go on Lola Bodies and 710? I read on the FAQ page you could do it, but will it be an aftermarket option or an option in the kit?

However, the new 710 rear upright does not have the mounting position for the existing GTP conversion........if Serpent is going to make one, that will be either a NEW GTP conversion kit, or a NEW rear upright....
I am not sure Serpent will do it or not, since running LOLA right now is still illegal for ROAR and most of the race. Beside, I found the LOLA conversion have about 1-1.5 second advantage over typical Touring car body.......that is an unfair advantage if someone is able to run LOLA but you could not.
Personally, I would like to pick up a dirt cheap Impulse PRO or 705 and do the LOLA conversion.........so that if there is a outlaw race, I can use that instead of the 710.

Still is the fastest 200 mm car I have ever tried... Of course the pitstops every 3 minutes slows you down...
