The 710 one-way front axle can be very quickly converted to a fixed axle using this simple optional consisting of 2 pins, 2 o-rings and an aluminium bushing. Simplicity is its greatest asset.
Pins can easily be placed through the appropriate holes in the front one-way axle, which in turn goes through the drive shaft adaptors, locking the axle.A bushing slid over the pins and a pair of o-rings keeps it all in place. This piece can remain mounted all the time with the pins inserted when required.
The benefit of a solid front axle is that the car brakes on all 4 wheels, allowing much later braking, especially beneficial on low grip conditions and also on small, tight tracks.
802252 Front Lock Set (02/23/2004)
Even if you do not plan to lock the S710 front one-way to make it a front spool, I recommend that you still install this set (without the pins).
The installed sleeve will cover the holes in the axle, and prevent stuff from getting inside and contaminating the one-way bearings.
