To me it seems that the battery is trapped inside?

100% , because thats the version we are getting here. We already have the hara pro4.

This should be released or announced shortly in the US. Im guessing in 1 month you might start seeing these in stock in stores.

also the tail end seems to be very slippery, does anyone have any sugestions to make it stick more, maybe iam using wrong diff oil? should i use grease what weight should i use.
my tyre choice is fast tyre's . great tyres/ but it just slides out so easy under power you give it a bit and it just spins around.
iam using the standard oil that comes with the kit, in that little bottle thing front and rear, i took the one way out, as the track i race on is very tight, and need full braking coming off the straight. cheers.

i wonder why he swapped the batter and reciever around? maybe he only had a hump pack on hand? i cant think it would make it handle better you want the weight in the middle.

The 2005/Hara has a solid lower chassis , no battery door underneath. Thats one reason. The other is the gas tank I believe takes up that space now.
