Thanks Hesky! I'm also waiting for the Hara Edition! But i think i'm gonna get the .12 TZ 3 for it with the cevec pipe.I use the Ofner 1/8 scale box for the Racer 2 its got plenty of starting power.I also have the Associated starter box for my GT it also works great.
Are you using the stock plastic Steering blocks?
The only time I have broken a CVD is when I used the purple aluminum steering blocks which make it near impossible to "pop" the steering block off the pivot ball. Since the energy isnt dissipated popping the joint, it has to go somewhere ( ie. breaking the CVD ).
I think the car was engineered so the pivot ball joint would give before the CVD was broken -- my 2 cents ( or non-cents )
