Awesome, making my order list and wanted to verify. I wish they had that ti diff screw so i could get it all from one place. Im undecided on that aluminum rear brace, might be able to better use that 21 bucks right now.

Jason - When can we expect to see the carpet chassis set for the cyclone? Jax has a new carpet track and I need a carpet chassis....pllllllllease hurry..

i will be up at jax in about 2 weeks to test it.i am making the new hinge pin blocks to increase the track width and then she is ready.once i get it proven,i will start running them off immediately.i am very optimistic about this kit.i can tell you this,this car in stock form is definately an asphalt car and a damn good one at that.but it needed to undergo alot of changes to perform on carpet as well as other proven carpet cars.i think i have it nailed.

Jason - Sounds sweet! Did Hara run a heavily modified car in Vegas? I wasn't at the race and can't tell by the pics.

I beleive that Hara ran a chassis with no cut outs....I was pitted at the table behind him and managed to talk to him a little. Looked like it was pretty standard stuff except for the chassis and top deck.

Does anyone know where I can buy a V8 Capacitor and MM 55 amp diode as seen on Hara's car.

It looks a lot tidier than the barel cap on the Twister 2.1

Hello Racers!

I am currently building my Hara Cyclone! Can any one tell me what the extra grease is for? Not the White or Red cap. No this grease is clear and comes in a tube. It also has a part number, Z162. I have scoured the manual a few times and can’t find where it is meant to be used.

Also have any greased the one ways? I know they come with some oil/grease in them, but what have you all done?

Thanks for the help,
Snowy.

running the oneway right out of the box is fine.before every race day i just put some bearing oil on the oneway bearings to keep them from running dry and for a little extra drag on them to keep the car stable

The Z162 Grease is for when you run a spool. you put it on the outdrives and cvd pins. Stops excessive wear when using the spool.
