Hpi Pro 4
#4606
Well, the first run with the pro4 was pretty success ful this tuesday. I ran it outside with close to a kit set up. I had it geared wrong with the 9 double. It got hot. to lazy to rebuild it. So I put the 12 double in it. It threw a wind on the 2nd lap. So in went the Chameleon. I put the biggest gear I had on it. LOL I was passing 10 turns on the straight with it. I tqed and won the main by almost a lap. And still had 40+sec of runtime left. Was fun. I had a 39 pinnion. stock spur. Never got hot either.
I like the car. Still working on a small left turn issue. But the sway bars were not centered and not equal. Fixed that, See what happens this weekend. Can't believe how quiet it is for a shaft drive car. Darn belt cars are noisy. LOL
Kit set up Minus the 3 mil blocks in rear and 3 mil block in rear front and 2 mil front front = 1.5 degree with of anti-dive in front. Asc Red springs Front. Blue Rear. Everything else is kit.
Big asphalt track. 160+ Foot straight.
I was running sorex 28's. The sun went down and we ran under the light. put pit 24's on it for the colder track.

RAY - LOL> I run nitro normally outside in summer. Being that I focus on Nitro alot more then Electric. Winter is a time to race electric to keep the reflexes up and not loose to much of a edge for Nitro. I saw the pro4 and was like, that looks cool. It has been making me kinda itching to run it. So I did Tuesday night.
Its pretty cool to run outside under some lights. Not perfect conditions, but it was a blast.

Paging TSR6 & G Katzer
Hey TSR6 and G Katzer I need a little help, actualy any one can help. What setup are you running at Trackside? With the control tires - CS27's all round? I finaly found the time to get my pro 4 built. It took way to long but its now almost done. Thanks for all the help..

Snowy, Will you be at trackside tuesday? I always show up really early (~3:00), and I can help you out.
I'd really hate to post anything without having a car, or setup sheet in front of me.
I can give you the basics, but for camber link and hingepin block shims, I would just be guessing without having the car here.

Has anybody seen the driveshafts that are on the HPI Japan site? They are more like a dogbone than a CVD. Plus they have steel ones as well? Does anybody know if a TC3 cvd bone will fit the car? I have one slightly bent and saw some MIP shiny cvd bones for the TC3 that might work till I can get a replacement PURPLE cvd bone.
How well will a graphite center drive shaft hold up to open mod? I thought I read somewhere that on the TC3 they went back to the alum shaft for mod racing for strength.

Yes.. the TC3 bones is a direct fit. any 50mm MIP bones will work.
A bend dog bone can be easily straighten out with a hammer..
