Its Haras car allrite,bottom left of his TD design pit board it has his name.
Maybe the keyence was a last ditch attempt to get rid of his interfearnce?

hi every one
ive noticed that my v2 shock shafts are doing funny things, when i push the shock rod in it extends smoothly then almost stops for ever such a slight instant then pops out, i think tyhe third groove in the shaft is causing this, i dont think it will be a problem in the car because the shocks wont fully extend, does anyone else have this problem?

i wonder if he misses the days of simplicity with ko rx and twister speedo.
now it seems like he's having major problems. even has a keyence speedo in there? and thats a lot of foil!!
interesting that there is no MM diode with the keyence speedo.

Here are a couple of pics of my car with the completed mod:

i think its from taking them on & off I think im going to use the tamiya balls at the top, for quick shock changing, and go back to hpi screw/ball for the bottom because of slop.

I personally purchased the springs speratly when i owned a xray as it was cheaper and i got what i wanted.
Just a word of advice

Did you notice that Hara switch to another speedo?
I think the new one is from Keyence.
Someone know more?
