Looks like Hara is running carbon fibre camber link mounts, but just carbon fibre which fits over the stock mounts. He's also running purple spring perches
Also, does anyone know what those purple bits are on his steering knuckles?

ahh this page or the start of the thread?
titanium screws?
having looked at the pic again i notice that they are also on the screws at the end of the gear box, and these scews are normally round heads, and changed to countersunk looking ones, so i would gather the washers are there for the countersunk head to fit into

Hara's set-up from the race..
This setup sheet is 99.9% accurate. He was making changes every run due to constant track temperature changes.
azenis,
We sometimes use o-rings and concave washers on the steering post screws to eliminate and possible tweak when using the 2.0mm chassis. This isn’t as necessary with the 3.0 and 2.5mm chassis. The reason he is using the Washes and counter sunk screws on the gear box is because he was using the Carbon fiber braces.

I run a 3mm BMI chassis on tarmak, so I guess I dont need them
I havent found any setup sheets on the net for 3mm esp for asphalt, do you know of any?
TIA

I am just as interested in understanding why your Pro4 wont handle as you guy's are,on the "stock" setup are you running it as the book says to,or have you made "improvements"ie: camber,caster..etc.I'm just interested in the setup as far as "stock" goes.

That is assuming were outside again on sunday, I hear theres a chance of r*** on thursday and friday I should also have my new servo in by then so at least it'll go straight down the backstretch eh?

The o-rings reduces chances of chassis tweak by allowing the chassis to flex without the screws binding and sticking.
I have found the Ti screws to be a bit softer.
We use the 2mm chassis for asphalt racing. It produces more traction.

Hi Thad
Where can I buy that part? never seen them... will check tower
So you use a 2mm chassis. how does that creat the extra traction? More flex? I would have thought flex to be a bad thing? I think the 3mm would be less prone to tweak as well?
Should I invest in a 2mm chassis?? our track is a school yard, and as such is a pretty bumpy and uneven surface, however they are building a new proper track for us which will have a perfect surface, but i dont know when it will be finished (its a long way off)

Oh and I meant to ask you...
The setup sheets for the 2mm chassis and 2.5mm, will they still work ok with my 3mm chassis?
I do have the standard one as well but the 3mm chassis is on the car at the moment, as i bought it that way...

do these washers include the o-rings or are they another part?
