I'm looking for the 2.0 and 2.5 degree pivot blocks HB114524 and HB114525 for a cheap price. Has anyone got some they'd like to sell?

have you tried to fit other brands'? something with interchangeable plastic pieces would be nice.

I'll give it a try next time I head to a race meet with a bit of spare wrenching time...

Does anyone know the sizing for the small and large o-rings in the gear diff? There's nothing in the manual except the rebuild kit part number. I'd rather just replace the o rings each oil change instead of 99% of the hardware inside them.

Hell everyone just got a HB pro 5 and I am liking it so far. Just found out I need part number HB114539(front diff bearing holders) in order to change the belt cam tension. Hopefully this will keep the belt from coming off during hard acceleration. I have to wait a while since it will be coming from italy, but I hope this helps since I was unaware of this part.

Yes those rings will push the front spool forward and the diff towards the rear of the car.

This is this best news yet from HB. Hara was one of my favourite drivers growing up, that purple scheme and driving talent was awesome. One of my good friends is currently running the dated pro 5 on black carpet. I have ripped laps with it and it's a good foundation, just needs all the current updates I feel.

Yeah, hopefully they would update the Pro4 shaft drive car with low profile dampers, narrow chassis, and gear diff.

The new car is already being worked on. Having Hara back will be a big contribution to the next platform. As far as the Pro5, its my car that Matt's ripped. Its still very competitive against the newer cars. Imo it only needs a few lcg parts like, lcg shocktowers/shocks and maybe a mid motor conversion kit. But thats about it

If HB comes out with a new shaft driven car, then I just might get one. There was nothing like the Pro4 during its time.

As much as I want a TB Evo 6 or 7, I'm still leaning towards HB (well HPI too when they were still in the same boat) on a race level kit.

As Hara said, HB is his home. Over the years, Hara may have raced with other chassis’s, but didn’t really land with any TC manufacturer, or jump around like some other pro racers. I respect that. He’s the best icon representing HB.

I was lucky enough to buy a TCX new and it happened to be one of the signed boxes by Hara when I opened it, I still have it too, glad to see him coming back to HB.
