I think Julius tried it and found it nice. I tried it and I found the car to have lots of steering and responds very fast.

The NTC3 tanks is larger then the 75cc limit. They send a insert with the tank to bring it to legal limits. I think its 78-80cc but I not sure on that.

Thanks for letting me know this.
Will someone please post pictures of what the tank looks like with the insert installed... and also not installed?
Thanks!

I'm going to stand up the shocks a little more in the rear and see how it goes.
BTW, I'm currently using 4x1.2 mm pistons with 40wt Serpent shock oil front and rear. I believe Julius used 5x1.2 mm pistons with 50wt Serpent oil front and rear.

The 710 has that feature NOT because it is illegal but just so that racers can fine tune the tank capacity when slight temperature changes and the usage of longer fuel lines or when using with external fuel filter.

Not possible. 2106 crankshaft is based on the newer Novarossi NS12 engines which has 11.5 mm crankshaft diameter. The MT12 is based on the older RS12 Novarossi engines which has 11 mm crankshaft diameter.

Just ask "Donkey kong" to make sure he has the insert in his tank. I am sure he is not try to win by cheating. He don't have to.

Well, some times it is plain ignorance. When the NTC3 was just out, not many people know that the stock tank without insert exceeded the 75 cc limit. You guessed it right. Many raced without the insert until it was public knowledge that the NTC3 cars should have the insert on when racing.

s, one is more resistant to chunk as it packs more rubber in it, no doubt, but it requires cleaner track surface to have the same grip which is not suitable for us. In fact, one of our customer tried that brand again (more rubber packed) last Lola Race meeting and on the upper final (chrismast tree system) he change again to the best brand to our knowledge and, obviously, he said it has much much more overall grip. The other one is just less desirable because of its below performance and high prices.
... Abouth the ackerman, as Goldfinger mentioned, we only drilled a new holes on knuckle as the servo saver on S710 does not leave us with enough room to mods it. Not yet tried (on Goldfinger's car), but will let you what we will gets between in/outside tires reading on hudy. Towards true ackerman is what we are trying to get and see how it responds to on/off throttle (which is linier as what we desire/expect).

Is it oversize (larger than 75cc)... if so, by how much? Does it need something inside the tank (an 'insert') to make it legal for racing? If yes, can someone please post a picture of what it should look like in 'legal' trim?

If you flip the lid open you should be able to see this cylinder (slightly smaller than the diameter of the tand hole) at the bottom.

Hi Eddie,
Nah, I am not worried about him cheating. I know he would probably kick my a** with any car. His is not the only NTC3 out there... all the NTC3 drivers should be aware of this insert thingy. Don't want to have anyone inadvertantly caught with their pants down due to an oversight. Especially if they go to a larger race where rules are more rigidly enforced.

Roll Center position question
If some wrote their Roll-center position upper on the setups sheet as : low inner, would that be the UTI or the UBI position that is explained in the setup book?
