That would be great if Hara was here online...I've seen Masami and Tossolini on the SD forum. Baker on the TC3...etc.... Josh & Tossolini have their own thread started. We could have "Ask Atsushi Hara" thread....

You can ballast it low( low CG) or mount them backward or forward to adjust the weight distribution. This is an advantage.

Yes you can put the weight where it's needed! Helps if u want to balance the car.

Would it be possible to have some company support on the R40 thread as well???

I'm tempted to sell the R40 and get a pro4 instead

G-Style is the site for Team Bomber items: http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/%7Eg-style/ , I get my Team Bomber stuff from RainbowTen. The Pro4 shaft looks very "Bomber" like, constructed in a very similar manner to the TC3 one.

HPI Shaft is in the news page on Team Magics site (yes they publish news from rival brands lol)
