Im going to be getting into Nitro sedan racing this summer after doing electric onroad for about 3years and i thinking of a r4o for my first nitro sedan...i was looking at some of hara's setups and what hes got on his car and just wanted to get a feed back on what you guy/gals have done to the car to make it more competitive on the track?

thanks for the input

I want to buy a new chassi for my HPIR40.

"All after-market chassis are not created equal"... if you are gonna spend money on a new chassis make sure you get one that actually weights less than the original one - Go HPI for $75. GPM weigths the same so avoid that one.

Get the Hara racing one or the HPI one. The others are rubbish and heavy.

Yea theres a big difference. The 2004 kit comes with almost all of the hpi hop ups with it. If you plan to upgrade it get the 2004 version it comes out much cheaper then buying the kit and upgrading it. Ive got first had knowledge....
