This is a must spare on your box.
2 or 3 clutchbell with several pinion combinations will be more handy.

hey scott...
i'm having the same problem. i need to find that washer. i changed the pinion one step lower to 16 and can't get the thing to run true. i guess those shims are only good for one use. everytime you change pinions, you gotta change them as well.
i'm thinking about racing friday to try the front ball diff that we've been waiting for. let me know if you are racing also.
any news on updated bumper yet? or maybe the lola bumper for the 710?

...Looking at the rear upper pivot ball spacing, I think he's using the long upper rear arm version instead of short.

D, I don't get the comment above. By this you mean, the spacing looks far enough apart that we call this config the "long upper rear arm" set-up?

If he uses the UTO or UBO upper insert position (short upper rear arm config), you will notice that the spacing between the upper knuckle and the edge of the upper arm is very small because you need to turn in the pivot ball to get enough camber (-3 or -4) and at the same time maintain rear trackwidth. Just from my observations...

Easier to use this Loletta shells because the only mod you need to do is reverse the position of the rear shocks and trim the original foam bumper a little bit.

Well, I've decided to purchase the 710!
Can't wait to get it! Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the Front Diff for the 710? Also, what is the largest battery pack for the 710 and where I can I get that as well? Thanks. Please let me know soon as I would like to get these items ordered asap!! Will the 710 work with the Ofna Starter Box?

Tyre truing
Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it is better to run new tyres a few laps before cutting them to size with a tyre truer - i.e. breaking tyres in?
@D: What was the rule with the droop regarding using full sized tyres?
