2. The shock shafts are all the same size throughout serpent's current cars. With the front shafts shorter than the rear. So yes the 8th scale shafts will fit.
To be specific, the 950/R, the 835 and the 705 shares the same identical shocks as the 710. So that is why they will fit !
Just a word of caution. You need to get the keyed type shock shafts (909442 for front and 909444 for rear). Not the older threaded ones (although they are identical lengths to the front and for the rear of the 710) as they are for the Serpent older cars (Impulse Streetspec, Impact and the Vector).

3. I have seen Titanium pivot balls on Ebay.
Be careful if you come across the titanium pivot balls for the 705 as they may be slightly longer. Besides, Julius mentioned that titanium pivot balls will cause glass filled plastics to wear faster.
