The only big difference between what we ran and what team serpent ran was with the locked front you run the front roll center in the mid position and the rear lower arm down. and its a toss up between the 2.0 and 2.5 bar. I ran the 2.0 with that setup. to get it to steer a little more.
So team Serpent also ran the car with the 3mm shorter wheel base?

I know the bar deal has some people confused but the more rear roll on the 710 the more the front plants itself harder giving more steering and less push=less rear traction. It took a while for me to get it too
This is very interesting. I'll try it out some time.

I ran stock spurs and the first gear spur is a high maintenance Item I have found
I found it almost impossible to run the car with 16-61 on the first gear. D mentions that 16 will work with 60. I found the 1st gear pinions are high maintenance.

what I cut off the rear of each arm I trimmed and put back in front of the arm. then I drummed up some spacers I cut from an old arm to space the swaybar at the arm location.
Right ... thanks for the info Dennis.
