I'm sure those close to Serpent do not want to overstate the case for the 710. But this is a GREAT car.
I just finished 2 days driving it (while breaking in a new engine) on a slightly dusty track with fair traction. Temperature in the mid 60's. My durometer indicated that the kit tires were probably F/R 40/37. The car understeered alot. I didn't have any red springs, so I changed to F/R 40/40, and this helped a little. Then I changed the DRS to the "above" position and there was a noticible lessening of the push in the high speed sweepers, but it was also better in the infield. Then I shortened the position on the anti-roll bar about 2mm, and the car is now nearly dead neutral when it drifts at high speed, with just a little too much front push left. I quit at this point waiting for the red springs, which should be here tomorrow.
In a word, the car is, DRIVABLE!
I sold my two MTX3s at the track today.
Sold your Mugens? You TURNCOAT!!! Hahahaaaa ... the 710 is a very nimble car for sure. Heck of a light too. I will still keep my Mugen!
