Holy crap, I finally got caught back up on this thread...started on page 124...
Has anyone tried Tamiya TRF Pisions in the HPI shocks? I know square or someone makes pistions designed for the HPI shocks, but I just have so freaking many of the trf pistions.
Chris?!?!? Moving to a Pro 4?!?!?! Dude, I thought you ate and breathed Tamiya?!?!? ROFL

wish I bought Tamiya
Well I have had my pro4 for over 2 months and have still not been able to use it. First I was slow in building it and then I had to wait to get the version 1.1 gears. Then when I was assembling the shocks I found I had 2 purple caps that were not threaded all the way so they wouldn't seal the tops of the shocks. It has been almost 1 month since they were ordered and sent by HPI. What a waste of my money, I should have bought an Evo-4, atleast if I need parts there is a distributor in this country and I do not have to deal with shipping from the US and deal with Customs. Oh well, I will know for next time I guess.
Just venting, thanks.

Dude...
You just had bad luck.
You really didn't have to wait for the V1.1 gears and the purple caps should be found at most hobbystores that stocks HPI stuff for very little money.
I do feel for you because when you get a new car, you really want to test it out asap but having to wait 2 months + must suck...
Where are you located btw?
I am @ Younge & Finch

I just ran my pro4 for the first time last night, thing was so smooth it seemed slow, but turned the fastest laps of the night and was TQ.
Csilve- I have the same problem with my purple shock tops, a quick fix that I used was to use 2 of the small diff shims between the black eyelet and the purple cap. Mine were only threaded til the bottom of the small air hole and won't tighten all the way.
Anyone else had major tweak issues? I checked shock length, everything is free, droop is right. I haven't done the top deck mod, but probably should. Tweak was right out of the box worse then my TC3 on its worse day. Still, once everything is dialed in the Pro4 will be ballistic.

Thanks guy's but I've decided to get rid of the car. Going to stay with Tamiya. The Pro4 looks great in the garbage can.

did you put on the upperdeck stabalizer, the curved post that connects the upper deck to the lowerdeck?
