Jorn Running Big Bores On 410 :O

[av4625]

He said he used Haras setup and it was good!
Anyone no wat hara is running? he has different springs not TD springs! they arnt TD shock bodies either!

[OneKiwi]

I didn't notice the BBs on Jörns, maybe he has finally found a good setup for them that he likes or he got told off and told to run them

The shock bodies are the Tresrey mos ones I think
He might have the AVID or CORERC springs if Tresrey haven't started doing springs.

Im interested in his setup BUT we don't run a lot of clay tracks here. He said that the 410 and Jörns setup (from previous year ) that he started with was very agressive so he was planning to tame it a bit. Interesting to see what he has done

[stegger]

Hara was running Avid springs.

I'd take a guess at Avid to as Hara is one of their factory drivers isn't he, plus they seem rather short compaired to the normal TD springs don't they (the collar on the front shock is really way down the shock body).

Either way im sure he will run whatever gets the car to the front of the field and im sure TD won't give him grief for using the right spring for the job. I know of one company that gets the sh*ts about it's drivers using anything other than it's parts (even if it sacrifices a top 10 place).

Good though that the 410 is still in it when it comes to international competition given that it is about 2 or so years old design wise now (the basis of it, upgrades to it in V3 not so old but they are simply changes). Goes to show the design works !

I can't be 100%.

But from the photos, (www.neobuggy.net)




They do look like AVID, spring.

Yellow rear AVID spring is a 1.99lb (batch 1) or 2.15lb (batch 2)
Front Purple spring is a 3.61lb (batch 1) or 3.79lb (batch 2)

Definately the Tresrey MOS coated bodies and shock bottom/o-ring retainer. Also look like Tresrey alloy hexes too.

Less friction that the stock ones.

[jo90]

Does Tresrey sponsor him at all ? I don;t know off hand but there may be the reason for their use and a few other choice bits too

[discostu]

Can I ask is hara sponsored by team Durango or am I correct in saying he is still hb/hpi

HB/HPI, but they don't have 1:10th scale buggies.

He was running Durango in 4wd and Kyosho RB6 in 2wd.

[discostu]

Yeah that's what I thought so who cares what he runs as essentially he would be privateer jorn on the other hand should only run Durango parts or proto type parts not third party production parts. This is my opinion

I agree 99% mate, but also there is the matter that its better to get 99% of your manufacturers care into the top 10 in a worlds type arena using 1% of another manufacturers bits. Personally, if i ran Durango, i wouldnt be crying over him using them, i'd be smiling that the car, 99% of it, showed it's guile against the huge manufacturers like AE and Kyosho !

We can discuss/get into fisticuffs/makeup tonight if your up the club

[discostu]

I'm not racing tonight but as your such a nice chap Ill let you off

Lmfao

[jo90]

haha, me, nice, yehhhh !

I personally would care more about what a "privateer" runs than a person who is told to run something...

There is a difference between "they had one" and "they have one", D4 is not in production... but Haras interview at the Reedy Race suggested that they might have a 4wd buggy for the worlds.
