the r40 sell by tower is the regular version that is so basic and requaire many upgrade. no 0.8 pitch gear, not one-way and the centax is nightmare
Hara edition is kind of like a prospec. have lot of hopup and for sure the price is much higher. they are not sell in US, probably you have to get it from oversea store.
the stock r40 isn't that well build compare to rrr, mtx3 or 710. also the plastic isn't that durable and the screw sucks even the car is beefy due to that massive amount of plastic.
IMO, i think it is better to get rrr or mtx3 maybe mtx4
710 is a good choice too (that is my current ride
)
they may be a bit pricy but they worth it
that is my 2 cents
