It's getting sent back to check for blown fets. I was just curious to see what Hara was running. You already know what I've been through

Thanks what I was figuring and yeah, the cyclone is a great drift car!

Hara ran the NOSRAM ISTC.

The sister speedo to the LRP TC Spec.

I haven't seen anyone using the NOSRAM Pearl/LRP SXX since the worlds.

Default Rollcenter

Now I'm confused: even on low-med traction set up, I see most driver like to use 1.5mm shim under suspension blocks...what? I thought that adding shims under the suspension blocks gives you higher roll center, which in turn gives you less over all roll and traction? Is this right? Can some one pleas esplain this again...sorry for the truble

4 degree uprights and the version 3 spool mostly. I did see RCmarket had most of the stuff i wanted but i have always been a little leary ordering from overseas.

Just about 95% of the guys out here have ordered from rcmarket without any issues. There are some over seas companies that you should stay away from but rcmarket isn't one of them.

Give Speedworld a call. Their located in Rossville, CA. Home of the 2009 Reedy Race of Champions.

Also be sure to get the pulley for the Ver.3 Spool. It's not included with the spool.
#61051 - 39T Pulley for Oneway/Spool

Also get the graphite C-hubs not the weaker Cyclone S C-Hubs.
#73518 - 4 Degree Carbon Graphite C-Hubs

Has anyone seen the interview with Hara at TITC where he mentions the release of a new TC? Something about lipo and stuff... Or is it just too early to tell?

interview starts around 11:20

I noticed that. I still have two sets of 6 degree hubs from running foam. I think I'll hang on to them for spares in case I break my last 4 degree hub.

Unobtanium? Is that similar to that material XRAY uses called Cantafordium?
