TC3's are just as bad. Not sure how the TC4 bones work, or if there even different.

MIP TC3 shiny universals work good up front. All you would need is the bones to make the conversion. Even if you take a major hit and bend one, you can always bend them back.

Can someone mention a good site for Pro 4 parts? LHS has a limited supply. SpeedTechRC was out of the main parts I was looking for.

i usually get mine from www.rcmodel.hk they usually have alot of pro4 besuides some of the new popular 05' parts. but if you only need one part and fast you probably shouldnt use them because they are in hong kong so shipping cost a bit more.

but they are usually really cheap. Example: all the LHS i have been to sells c-hubs for $11-12 but rc model its only $6

so if you grab a few things the low priced usually make up for shipping costs

For some reason that site isn't working for me. Any other recommendations for something a little closer to home? A site that used PayPal would be ideal.

I've been looking for a part number for the aluminum camber mount. I would like one, Tower doesn't have them. Any part #'s I can research?

what's wrong with the HPI bones...they are made by the same company that makes the ones for the TC3/4, RDX, Rayspeed/Yokomo, etc... MIP

The big dawgs are much thicker but seem to perform very well. They are still aluminum like the stock bones but much more durable.

old school hpi guys help me out!

the pro4 has narrow clamping hubs to which you add 0.5 and 1.0mm shim. i know that hpi made the same clamping hubs but in a widht that was wider, specifically the same thickness as the thin hub with 1.5mm of shim !!
i saw these on someones car and i measured them.

anyone know the part number? or can venture a guess?
i cant seem to find it out
