Thumbs up

It is 2am, so i should say that yesterday saturday i spend from 4pm-7pm at the track with my 710 for the first time to actually practice for todays race (I need to sleep first)

the stock setup is great, i only had to change to harder springs in the front - I will make the whole car (red) tomorrow since I am getting a little too much roll in the rear.

I am not having any push problem, specially when the tyres warmed up. My engine is great, i love it. Pretty quick compared to the OS I had on my TG10R

i did hit some boards with doing practice racing with this other guy with an RS4 and bent my front rims and one of the lower suspension arms in the front.

tomorrow before the race i will fix that and mod the clutch weights. I am also going to trim my wheel wells a little more because for some reason the rear fenders bends behind the car and has messed up my tyres also.

The guy with the RS4 has a .12 RB in his car, but my car was much faster, this was notisable down the straight way.

Overall this car handles very nice, but i do get a little bit of tracktion roll on the rear. on a turn my inside rear wheel come off the road... I am not sure if by using harder springs i will fix this.. or maybe i just need to slow down.

so in recap..

broken parts:
bumper lower plate,
lower A arm (1)
one bent rim (I noticed that when the rims bend they cut into the nuckles.. =( )

I am so happy with this car, I want to thank all those who helped me with the tips !
