Tell you what, the Pro4 is still the best looking car out of the four.
Form and Function. Thats good design.
Good Example:
JRXS: Function.......No Form!

CAD pictures and closeups
Like I said before I'm sure the Pro 4 won't be discontinued.
Tim - to answer your question about the Pro 4 belt concept, that was strictly a one-off, the designers of the HB car I'm sure had no access to Myrberg's car.
RE: comments about this being a carpet design - this was an asphalt race!

I just saw pics of this new car. So excuse this question if its already been asked.
If Hara and Surikarn are developing and racing this new car, what happens with them and HPI? I mean, they both are still HPI sponsored, so what happens with HPI's flagship (and damned good) Pro4?

nothing says that drivers connot be sponsored by two companys........
so as HPI and Hotbodies are the same company they can just let each have the driver and use either car.... depending on which one goes best at different race tracks

I know the original owners of Hot Bodies, and they DID NOT SELL THE COMPANY TO HPI!! It was a little hobby shop, Rick's I believe, that bought the Hot Bodies name...If you've ever called HB, you get the hobby shop - nice people, a little slow on shipping but nice people - not a person employeed by HPI...
And for the record, HB has yet to produce any of their own vehicles - all HB-branded vehicles are rebadged (something that Trinity does with its TSPEC and SPyders)
