#31401, only from JAPAN.

However, I found this place (order from them before, GOOD service), not exactly from HPI, but the parts look 99% like the HPI one except a lot cheaper...

jet parts hold up well.. and they cost 1/2 as much as the HPI parts.
I hove those plus the servo saver arms.

adjust your steering EPA

anyone here yet try the square aluminum front gear yet?? Is it worth it?

axel

also anyone here have a link to the motor spacer to align the pinion and spur gear...or know which spur gear is thick enough to cover the whole pinion?

to me it's worth it... I've lost the e-clip on the small bevel gear during a race..

you'll need something like the Speedmind motorheatsink Plate.
see:

type in heatsink to do the search.


or just buy the new motor mount.

the new interactive and non-interactive Hara Set-up sheets are now available for download from the HPI website.

I've lost the e-clip too! Looks like during a crash, the forces applied to the one-way / spool are so big, that something has to break! The aluminum bevel gear won't break nor will the small gear. So, what happened to my car was that the e-clip was bent out of place and the small gear stripped at the pin that locks it on the shaft! Meaning that none of the small gear's teeth broke, instead the hole where the pin sets, opened up! (I hope what I wrote makes sense, I couldn't make any more clear)

In the end, the aluminum bevel gear might not be worth it, cause you still end up with a damaged drivetrain

Skill

You can beef up the drivetrain as much as you want but when you crash something has to give, whether it's the bevel gears, spur gear, or CVD bone. I suppose you could argue that when you crash the tyres will give, yes they probably will, but not all that much unless you have almost no grip at all!!

I suppose if you go really over board then the only thing left to give is the thing you are hitting, but if that's a brick wall then that's not likely to happen
