One thing I did learn is that it was impossible for me to fully understand how to take out the best of the 710 if first I did not understand the technical aspect of every set up, what was the effect of every change I do in the car, (Oversteer, understeer, tractionroll, roll center, centax, engine set up, etc.), so what I did this last three month is read all your discussions, read a lot of technical articles, go to the track and test the car with different set up until I could really understand the effect of each one and why.

I can say know that I am doing pretty good on my raising I am in the top three position on every race I am very consistence in my driving, my engine is doing excellent and the set up of the car is excellent, what is more important is I can decide depending on the behavior of the car what to do to fix it and what will be the best option to change without sacrificing performance.

What I have learn is that the only way to really increase you performance in this Hobby and more with a Serpent 710 is to really understand the technical part of the car and the set up of every important part of the car (Centax, Differential, etc).

I hope this will give some hope to peoples that are new to the Hobby or a Serpent 710, I have learn with the 710, not because this is the best car but because it has the best people owning one and helping beginners like me.

Two members of our club ho had Serpent 710 and sold them, are thinking in going back to Serpent now that they see the results I am having with my 710.
