Hey i read somewhere that Hara used to run double one-ways in his car (I think it was the old Pro3??)... double one-ways!

That's crazy... one-way is tough, a double... yikes.

Yeah, that's pretty wild! I know a few guys who ran the TC3 that way.

Double one-ways in the Pro3 is cake. Did it when I had it. Double one ways in any belt driven car is a match made in heaven (on asphalt) . It's not for everyone of coarse but in the right hands you'll cut your lap times.

Respectfully disagree- if your car is oversteering on asphalt then you've got the wrong set up going... or that particular track has grip issues. It's not a black and white answer of coarse as we are making it... I'm sure we're both right and wrong depending on track conditions out of our control.

This helps the upper deck "flex" and settle back into place without setting into a "tweaked" position.

Hope that helps!
THANKS A TON MAN!!!!!!!!!!

hey mike..
i came across one of those SQUARE towers and put it next to mine and found that the outer most hole lines up but the other holes are all offset...the pro4 hara tower has holes that are significantly lower than the SQUARE tower. i hope that makes sense
anyways, the tower that comes with the hara edition has lower mounting holes that the SQUARE tower..

If you have a 77 tooth spur it is more than likely 48 pitch the book tells you how to figure you gear ratio it is spur/pinion x 2.4375

Is there a huge difference between the 2mm and 2.5mm chassis? Our track has low grip so I'm running the purple 2mm + .5mm silver for 2.5mm total for roll centers in the front, and 2mm + 1mm silver 3mm total for roll center in the rear (spacers under the suspension blocks). From what I understand this yields more grip. I had seen this set-up on Thad Garners set up sheet. It seem like the 2mm chassis is being disscontinued, Tower, KT, and speedtech do not list this chassis.
