RE: what do you think of harm
Harm are a damn good car, i think Eric Poholski (sorry for the spelling Eric) has and might still drive them in the USA and the world champion Ian Oddie (uk) drives them and knows more about set ups than anyone i've ever known, If you take a look at www.oddified.co.uk (or .com) then you'll find out loads of usefull info.
hope this helps,
Mike
p.s as with all cars you'll have to do certain mods and stuff to make the car do what you want, just don't ask me as i drive FG.

RE: what do you think of harm
Good morning Robert, I've only driven a harm off road car and when you get through the little niggles they are great (again see Ian's site for more details) I used to race truck but the series was FG only although at the international meeting in Barneveld there were some harm trucks and they went well enough. Like I said, if you can get onto www.rctek.com you'll see posts by Ian Oddie and Eric Poholski as they are probably your best point of advice.

RE: what do you think of harm
is that all you got for your money? was it all gold plated???? You must be mad!!
Just kiddin' it does sound like you got a good deal for what you've paid,
all you need now is regular race meeting up and down the country,
where you spend even more money because you'll need the big flash camper van and all that goes with it,
and you'll get divorced because you spend more time playing with your toy care than you do taking the wife to the mall,
and then the court settlement where she gets half of everything and you have to sell your stuff to pay for it blah blah blah.
You get the idea, but this is only the worse case scenario
[:-][>:] You might just end up enjoying youself.

RE: what do you think of harm
Cool, I know the shop owner and the guy who tunes the engines. That car was driven buy a Harm team driver. I actually bought some wheels a few weeks ago. Now I'll have to sell them since I've deceided not to use them on my Off-road. Too many things need to be changed.
