Anyone know the Hara’s spring rate compare to the original Cyclone springs?

Thanks,

Loosen the 3 screws on the sensor lead end and put your finger nail into the notches in the blue timing ring. Push it anti-clockwise to advance the timing and clockwise to retard. Before you move it, mark the side of the can with the current position. Then move it all the way forward and mark again, then all the way back and mark. That will give you the standard position for this motor and the overall range you can play with. I've had 2 Novak motors and they came with different timing out of the packet.

But be warned advancing the timing will lead to increased heat and you risk over heating the motor if you don't adjust your FDR to suit the increased RPM.

I have not seen it do anything to the CF that its been used on...

Clean up is even easier then servo tape - very clean, not annoying bits of tape left all over

Really don't even need to clean the area once you remove the goo - you can just put down another dab and glue another one down

What do you need.....more power or more speed? I assume power to be punch but your original post leaned more towards top end speed. Gearing up will give you that. I guess I'm not quite following you. Are you getting passed on the straight or are you getting pulled coming out of the corners?

does anyone know more about hara's setup at the ETS?
was there loads of grip out there or what.
I spotted some shots of his car on redrc showing he used the extra torsion control thingies under his upperdeck at the front.
then also a glimps of one of the springs (front) to be "a yellow?"
now hpi pro4 yellow would be very hard and perhaps more logical with the torsion control. or hara yellow??? but that would seem strange perhaps so soft at the front?
anyway you twist it hara has been onfire lately and it would be good to find out whats making the speed.

anyone?
here's a redrc shot:
