....along with the Tamiya modification.

Hi Guys
Here is my L-P-W (Lipo Weight Plate) Made from 1.5mm stainless steel, with 60grams of lead stuck to the base of it, (I may screw them on in the next version) it weighs in at a total 150 grams. I have a foam block at the front of the Lipo, which slips neatly up against the bulk head to stop it from moving forward, as I have sanded the lumps off of the bottom of the Orion 3800 so as to get it under the top deck. I have stuck a strip of foam to stop from moving inward the the car, even though it probably wont because of the tape holding it, I have made a ledge to stop it from coming out of the L-P-W and covered it in a sticky back CF paper. Its attached to the chassis by using original holes, one for the ariel mount, and the one just back from that. I have no extra lead anywear in the TC and now weight in at 1508. Any questions ask away
Cheers Malc TCCFM

i'm sure this has been asked before - but does anyone know where I can get a spring chart that includes the HARA springs?? I'm looking for something a little softer than the gold (f) and the silver (r) for my cyclone that I'm running in the local USVTA series...

It works ok, but i'd like a touch more grip and you can't do a whole lot with the tires or inserts

I do know the blue is one step softer than the silver, and the pink is one step softer than the gold. I haven't received my hara springs yet, so I'm still a little vauge on those.

Here ya go. Now the only thing to remember is the Hara springs are more progressive than the normal hpi pro 4 springs. The pro 4 springs are very linear, so it'd be like comparing apples to oranges.

If you can get all Xray springs. They're easier to get and works just the same.

oh swell I had ALL the xray springs until I sold the car - now I gotta go looking again, oy

I was hoping to do this all with HPI springs and not switchover...I do have a whole set of Tamiya springs around as well...

Korey - thanks for posting that

I found the Tamiya's to be a bit too tall but I do know a couple of guys that said they made them work. I wanted to go with all HB springs as well but it's been a nightmare trying to get them. I shouldn't have to order over seas for some springs... I had the complete Xray set already so I put on the one's I wanted to try and went from there. It works and I have them all and other racers can get them a lot quicker than waiting for the Hara springs to come in. I also think that the AE springs will work but I gave them away when I got rid of the TC5. They are cheap enough to buy again so it's no big deal. Try your Tamiya springs and see if you can get your ride height to your desired settings.

Will JRXS springs work they are really short but super cheap compared to the x-ray and hara springs

you can also use , Schumacher springs or Associated.

I got myself a silver associated spring which is 14.5 but it seem to be harder than the silver cyclone spring which is 16.9. Am I wrong? It also seem to be smaller in diameter.

I find the Hara springs in stock at HB USA site. Search from WCE Cyclone option parts. They don't tell those are Hara's, but you can tell by the list they posted according the color! It's cost $11 some, thats the one!
