Solution to Alu Anti-Rollbar Arms
After installing the alu anti-rollbar arms onto my new 710 and finding that the arms were binding just the same as on my original 710, I decided to take more drastic action this time.
With my original 710, I followed Crashed's advice and lossened the hinge pin grub screws on the front lower arms - worked perfectly, but then the hinge pins move around during a run, so the solution wasn't optimal.
This time, I took the bull by-the-horns and drill out the hole for the hinge pins in the alu anti-rollbar arms. The hole is already 3mm, but I think the tolerance is a little bit tight. After letting a 3mm drill bit slide through the hole a couple of time, I remounted the arms and found that there is no binding anymore There is also no additional play on the arms, so it seems to be a safe and effective fix.
Cheers, Mark.

Guys, we know some you surf here and don't register or ever post anything. Know that one of the "Tech Elite" here just wrote a comprehensive article on building his second 710.

All in all, I think you should first run the car on that new track first to find what is lacking or too much and then make adjustments to it to compensate.
And yes, don't forget to try the new servo saver if you have it. Good for high speed sweepers.

Well, one thing about that old "Tech Elite" you're referring to did not get the latest 710 kit. Our friend the ever hip Uncle Crash (another Tech Elite) did up one last week with a new batch of the 710 and check out what he found in the kit;
