I'll let everyone know if I have any problems.

You guys break c hubs?
I even bent out the pivot block but never broken a c-hub on the pro 4!
I have bent front aluminum body posts. They are bad for running outside i think... (I was running my pro 4 with friend's b4 and we collided head on and he bent my body posts. I bent it back a bit but it's useless) lol
PPL with body posts, do you cut them down?

1. new 1.1 version gears
2. HPI Backing plate (if your going to use the oneway)
3. extra arms etc....
You should already be pretty well set-up....

I knew you were referring to linear springs, but I was curious about progressive ones.
I found a few from HPI at towerhobbies...

Progressives should be different, They get harder as they compress, so yes, you could use progressives if you can find them....I'm reffering to regular springs....

Progressive springs won't work. They're too long (29mm)! Unless you're looking to run Rally.

they didnt work at all for my pro 4 but they do work nicely on the front of my tc3..
I think it depends on how you have your shock geometry set up.

I've broken several, all in the same way. Once the steering knuckle breaks it puts force on the C-hub and just snaps it, not of the bits I've broken have been a knuckle and C-hub together.

If you use the droop screws to limit ride height, then the Car will end up handling very poorly.
Sway bars control chassis roll and in general cause that end of the car to have less side bite.
Springs are fairly cheap, buy a few sets in different rates.
