He was running Moorespeed red springs all round, which are slighty harder than HPI Silver springs.

Looking forward to getting a car setup that actually corners well

Thanks
You will need to shim the front spool and rear diff with a couple of 0.2 shims to take some of the play out. And i had to shim the layshaft as well.

The dogbones are thin spring steel...Hara said they allowednthe rear of the car to free up and corner better along with the new rear hub carriers. His car was dialed Subaru body looked good as well

Hey guys,
did someone get Hara's setup for Reedy Race? It would be interesting to know how he set his car with two gear diff...

Thanks.

I think that something get mixed up. If you google the name "hotbodies Subaru Impreza Type C" you only get real cars. You can get a Subaru Impreza Type b or the C-type from Moorespeed (#66815LW) , so please , if anyone have the Subaru type c , please a picture

Thanks
Mike

well see - that makes it a whole different game ROAR has that body listed under the wrong part number - they have 61733, not 61736
