http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHYL2&P=7 .yet i stand corrected. my fault, i wasnt trying to argue, i just knew that they had the new hara edition kit and had listed the upgrades, thought they had them all in stock. they dont have the mounts or tank for sale. btw, do you know if anyone makes a one piece engine mount for the r40?

Yeah Sry man but you are wrong again. Tower doesn't have ANY of the Hara parts...LOL.
Hey Rapid are you using this on your R40?
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHYL2&P=Z
I Plan on maybe getting it for mine since there is a crack in 2 places on the stock one I have. It being 20% lighter seems like that'd also contribute with more weight reduction and really make this LW 2speed work even more. I already have the chassis.

I believe the Hara edition parts can be bought from Buy HPI. Just go to http://www.hpiracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc and do a part search for "Hara". They are at retail price so you're going to pay way more for them there than if you bought them through tower (whenever they're available).

Please advise and thanks.
Please advise and thanks.
Not to mention, technically you CANNOT get all the parts that you want for HARA or 2005 spec from TOWER.
Ask FastHarry, he got connection about ordering 2005 Spec thru Jet Hobby at HK site, I think it is listed $350 plus about $40 shipping.
Just my 2 cents....

Hark,
I don't use the .8 2 speed on either of my cars. I do use the LW upper deck on both. It doesn't save too much weight though. What it does do is allow the car to flex just a bit more. I also run only 2 screws in my side brace to create a bit more flex as well. Before any of you start in on me about how a stiffer chassis is always better, this subject was beaten to death waaayyy back. The setup I use right now is similar to the one Hara uses on his R40 and I really like it. It gives me a large sweet spot, so I can keep the car planted easier as the track conditions change durring the day.
