I can get parts. No mail ordering because Horizon carries Hotbodies and HPI so I'm still hooked up on parts!!!!!!!!!! I checked into this before I decided on getting the car. One of the main reasons I decided to go ahead and get one.

Can get you a good price on one if need be. If you have PitStop order you one Horizon Distribution is 30 bucks cheaper for the shop than Great Plains.

I'll keep that in mind, I've got a TA05 I'm gonna toy around with and if I end up faster with that than my 415 the 415 is out and I'll get another top shelf tourer and the cyclone deffinatly looks sweet.

unfortunately Hara and Surikarn did not do too well and not make the A mains.

Hmmm why couldn't we have had it in purple in the first place? Looks sweet

Does that have the new narrower pullies on it??

Well about 65% done with the car. Everything is very smooth. Only problem is I broke 2 ball studs so far as they seem to split easily if you tighten them up too tight (I actually didn't think it was that tight but apparently it was).

No big deal as I will just order a few more.

Hara Shoks

Hi,

Where can I get hara shoks as replacement for cyclone ones, they are leaking.
I was looking at rcmodel.tk, speedtechrc but no luck.

Thanks

I am sure Hara goes through many chassis and not really care about something like that. We on the other hand cannot buy new chassis for everyrace so we preop it to last long and look nice.

I too have found the ball studs to be very brittle, and although I haven't broken any whilst assembling the car I have broken one or two whilst racing, the main ones being the ones on the servo saver. I've just got some long Yokomo ball studs to see if these are any better.
