I checked the pins, trimmed the ear a little closer. I will run on my practice track tonight and see if I still have that clicking sound.
I went from 100/36, to 100/34 and it made a big difference with a Monster Stock.

Erik, THANKS!

How does the oring on the bladder affect dampening? Are the springs the new white springs out for the Pro4 or the older progressive ones? If and when will the delrin diff halves be out?

Default Purple motor heatsink

Where can I buy a purple clamp-on motor heatsink for the pro4?

Thanks for the set-up Erik..

I'm suprised that they are using the thinner 2mm chassis..

Do you know if HPI plan to attend the Innaguaral Losi Sedan Championships in August at Speedworld? I know Billy at Speedworld is good friends with Hara.. I assume yes...

IS the front oneway gear different from the rear? I.e. Is the bevel gear for both ends of the car. I have stripped my front oneways gears and was wondering what part i have to buy.

Cheers,

Mossie

They are both identical gears... Square R/C will be coming out with an Aluminum diff gear by end of the month.

I found some pics of Hara's car on Trinity's site on page4 of their Reedy Race coverage.

Something I found last night while I was working on the car is that I had 3mm more raise in the left rear arm than I did on the right while checking my swaybars. I lifted the left arm and the point at which the right arm came up was 3mm higher than if I lifted the right arm. Upon further inspection I found that when I had installed the gold set screws in the gearbox I went straight down and for some reason the screw was not close enough to remove the up and down play on the bar so I ended up with more play on the left side than the right. Once I took the set screws out and reinstalled them at an angle towards the bar I was able to tighten down the bar completely and then back them off to the amount of play needed to move freely but yet both arms come up at the same height. This is something that if your car is turning well one way and not the other could be the culprit. I am looking forward to seeing the results this weekend of this oversight on my part.

On the PRP front. I put the one way plate in and the truspin plate as well this past week. Last weekend was the first time I was able to say I did not chip or break a gear on my oneway running mod! Thanks Ben.
