checkout rczone.net.

they have the complete A Main from the DHI Cup....Hara rolls it on the first lap and comes back to win in the last 30secs!

the video taken is pretty good...if you look closely you'll see hara's black/white/pink paint scheme...besides that he's the one turning crazy lap times faster then anyone else on the track.

Ran my Pro4 for the firstime tonight on our carpet track with stock box setup with foams.
Was really impressive for stock setup. Seems a little soft for foams but is very forgiving and easy to drive. Car has a very good sweet spot straight from box. Things are only going to get even better from here.

I'm very dissappointed with the car...j/k...
One of the best handling car I've everdriven right out of the box.
Has lots of corner and exit speed... lots of steering. It goes where you point it. I Use the stock setting...will only get better from here... I think the stock sway bars are too thick...waiting for the 1.2 and 1.4mm sway bars to arrive sometime next week. Will try Hara asphalt set-up and see how it goes... First Club race is not 'til March..so I've got some time to get the car dialed. Will try to do some more practice sessions this sunday....
btw...I was suprised that the Losi Lexus IS200 handled very well... I may have to get more...haven't tried the new HPI Aero STratus or Mazda 6 yet...hopefully this weekend....

I order a set from RcModel. Hope to get them soon...I was lucky to get the Shim set as well... so I can play around with roll-center/anti dive and squat.

Approx.... 6hr.13min.35sec.

take your time building it and take note of any revisions to the manual.

thats a pretty good approximation. Cheers! Did you prep the chassis or is it not necessary? This is my first carbon fibre car.

yes..prep the chassis. seals the edges from de-laminating.
you can use CA accelerator to speed up the process.
