G'day all!
Just downloaded some of Hara's setups from HPI Japan and ran into a little problem when trying to use it on my car
I saw on most of his setups that he runs spacers under the sus blocks. using the pro 4 ones for the toe blocks are easy but what to use for the black sus blocks? any suggestions? cut some of the spacers in half
cheers

well I just tried 1.5mm under the front f/r block, which has resulted in the steering turnbuckles binding on the f/r block at about half steering travel....
the solution isnt obvious (other than a dremel)... any ideas?
edit: found a close up pic of hara's car from IIC and its a dremel fix...

If using 1mm spacer can prevented me to dremel those brand new alum pivot blocks..........I would use it.
After all, it is just 0.5mm different.........using Hara's 1.5mm spacer doesn't make me drives like Hara...........HARA can dremel any parts or screws all he want cause he might have a new cyclone every weekend...LOL.
There are nothing DREMEL cannot do...just remember that....may be I can dremel my Pro 4 into the cyclone....the belt might be a little bit tough.
