If the discharge vs time curve looks good then I'll like to get some to plug into my brain ... the part which controls driving skills!
Trying to play Jedi mind tricks on Mark is it?
I need to meditate more before October.

Correct. But I think that happens only on an ideal situations where you do not get any slipping in the inside wheel which is impossible because the outside wheel gets more pressure than inside wheel due to the turning.

Yep, you are right! the only remark I would make is that this only happens when power outweighs available grip and for me, I gently accelerate out of a corner, meaning at least during the first part of the corner exit, the inside wheel won't/shouldn't loose traction.

Yep, it is pretty much dynamic, so the theory says one thing, but the practice may be completely different.

At least you're at full steam here in the forum once more.

I've had it in my hands last friday, but there was only one and i wasn't the first, so i have to wait for friday to get mine. Forgot the part nr but the price is cheaper than the X-bracket

Hey What's up guys...
I bought a Serpent 710 a couple of weeks ago. But there is only one problem... Where do I put the switch ?? I saw a fellow racer, that had a carbon fiber switch mount, but he told me that it was from the HPI Pro 2. I went into the HPI site, and look through the parts and couldn't find it. What do you recommend me ?

If you insist on using a switch then you can use double sided tape and tape the switch either to the steering servo or on the top deck just above the steering column.
the best solution of all is to read the article written by our Serpent friend Glenn Cauley here.
Another excellent resource is here as well as the 710 GAQ you can dowload from MarkP27's signature.
The best of all is my website but because its so good its offline!

Oh, forgot to mention to you that the pop-up pictures of the underside of the deck (in BlackBook) is not displaying.
