[twisted]

very nice ! yes what kit is that ? also what rims and tires you running ?

[Matt Murphy]

They are Losi Taper Pin tires and appear to be on B4 front wheels and T3/GT/T4 rear Wheels.

Harper makes them himself. Therefore its a Harper. :)

[Jeff Harper]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I built the car myself so I guess it is a "Harper Chassis". The front tires and wheels are losi taper pin front tires on b3 wheels (a little more offset than b4) and the rears are proline holeshots on t3/gt/t4 wheels. The shocks are losi .600" threaded bodies and the cool thing about those are they are just small enough to run associated springs or you can run losi or evader springs. They are super smooth and have plenty of travel. I like the short buggy springs for the quick response from the shorter spring and the longer bodies give plenty of travel. I used a nylon spacer over the spring to give me plenty of threads for preload and ride height adjustment. This is the longest wheelbase car I have built at 10.750" and it is 10.0" wide in the rear (with truck rears) and 9.5" wide in the front.

Its a good looking car as always. What motors are yall running. That modded novamega I brought a month back was a bit too much for the track lol.

[Jeff Harper]

Alot of the guys are running the traxxas trx 2.5 and they really make some power for a great price and then there are a few of us are running a top novarossi .12, a couple of guys just bought a os .12 tz, one guy has a RB and I am not sure what all else. Your car was ballistic down the straightaways!

[twisted]

the tapper pin, what compound you running and how are they on a hard pack track ?

[Jeff Harper]

I am running the red compound which is the harder of the two compounds the tire is available in. I have not really tested it on a hard dry packed track yet so I dont really know. Another neet tire is one made by panther that is a ribbed tire but more much smaller ribs verses the standard 3 or 4 rib tire that losi and proline has. I bet this tire (panther) will work very well on hard pack.

I got to see Jeff's new car run last Saturday night. For the first time on the track he did a great job. Once the setup is perfected it is going to be a rocket. Great job Jeff!
