Ok, here's my problems with the 710, the steering throw not equal left and right.
Yes, follow what Picard has mentioned. The difference in length is due to the different dimensions of different servos used in the steering giving different lengtht. This is covered in the FAQ.

A major problem with the 710, it pushes for me really bad, entering, middle and exiting. I think the thicker rear bar might help.
Yes, the thicker rear sway bar should really help. But try playing with simple things first like shock angles, springs and sway bars !
For more on power steering, less rear toe in, harder rear diff setting, harder rear sway bar, harder rear springs or more steep rear shock angle...
For more off power steering, slightly more toe out, more horizontal front shock angle, softer front spring, softer front sway bar, looser rear diff setting...
These are the simple things you can try which you would normally try on different cars too.

But besides the standard setup, I have changed shock oil to 80wt, 4 holes front piston, 3 holes rear, red springs ft and rr. standard rear roll center but with shorter rear upper arm. One way front. 40's front and rear. Have not tried this set up yet
80wt?? What shock oil is that? Go back to Serpent 30wt or 35wt.
I would suggest setting the car really back to stock setup. Drive the car and see what you're lacking. Then change the things I suggested above one by one. After exhausting all of them, then only go to the more advance setup options.

Try
this and
that. Either one should work.

So are the front upper and lower arms stronger? Everytime I smack something they bend. Ive been getting my parts from Ashford
Front upper and lower arms are the same. The ones that are stronger are the upper bumper brace (802206) and the lower bumper support (802205). Like what Picard mentioned, if you can get the 3 Racing carbon fibre upper bumper plate support, then it will hold the front section better.
The rear lower arms are slightly "longer" giving you more plastic meat to thread your pivot balls deeper so that it does not rip out easy.
