Don't know about the R40. I guess it's a funny car.
But this is what Art Carbonnel has to say about upstops;
Travel Stops
One of the biggest things I’ve found that people do wrong with the Impulse, and it’s in the instructions, is to use the rear up-stops on the bottom arm. That’s the worst thing you can do to this car. It just limits the travel of the suspension too much, and instead of using your suspension, you effectively end up driving a pan car. This is especially true when the car leans to one side during cornering. The suspension bottoms out, and the car spins out. I prefer to let the chassis hit the ground, so you can get the full amount of suspension.
Think of it this way – you can use the travel stops to limit the car from moving straight up and straight down, but consider what happens when the car leans, especially if it hits a bump while it’s leaning. In these cases, the travel stops hit the limits way too early, and prevent the suspension from working properly. Even if the chassis hits the ground, the car can still lean somewhat, which it can’t if the travel stops are at their limit. The travel stops take away the ability of the chassis to lean that little bit further in a turn.

Also about the hudy set up station do you guys recomend moding it , or just moving it around
After a lot of finding and looking up, I finally found the post of Fernando_M who posted this pic below of how he modded his Hudy gauges with the dremel to make it work with the 710. I did not do this but I'm still able to access the arms and the pivot balls by moving the rear arms and rotate the prism gauges a little.
p/s: Mark, perhaps you want to add this to the FAQ.
