I saw that someone mentioned how tough ordering from RCMart can be. They practically demand an in-house cavity search before processing your order. I pay with a PayPal account which has a confirmed address, and when asked for photo copies of a drivers license or pay stub, I remind them that my shipping address has been confirmed by PayPal. They've processed every order without incident.

Don't let their strong-arm tactics turn you away. Just push back. They want your business.

Mate, if I have to fight them to get my business, then I think there is an argument that they Dont Want My Business!

I use them because of their range and price, but also because I can have the goods at my door in Australia within 3 to 4 working days. I also pay for that privilige with hefty postage and handling charges. However lately I have put orders in expecting goods within 3 to 4 days, and a week later receive email saying certain items are unavailable. Well really defeats the purpose of using them, if takes 10 days to receive order.

I will be using several other Hong Kong and US sites from now on.

Is it noisy with the TC3 gears in it? Do you use both bevel gears?

I have the tc3 bevel gears in my car just as quiet as the stock gears and I run the one piece bevel gear in the front! you only need to use the tc3 dif gear the small dif gear does not fit the HPI input shaft (hole to small and the HPI shaft is steped) have not had any problems with the small gear but I only run it in the back.

Using CS27's and Hara's DHI 05 setup, the car rotates well and has sharp turn-in. With his setup, the car wanted to be driven hard

At my track I have been running 19 turn on rubber tires with a diff up front,I have another Pro4 that I was going to run in stock but the way the track is a oneway is not the ticket.I do have a spool.I guess I'll try it.

Thank you!!

Question to the people who have put AE gears in their Pro4s. Did you replace both front and rear gears or just front? HPI gears have a 2.4375:1 ratio, where AE gears are 2.5:1 ratio. So has any one set up a car with the front diff turning faster, by ratio, than the rear?

I just thinking outside the box, per-say. I think some real car with 4 wheel drive have the front wheels drive faster than the rear. Could it help us?

I tried this setup on my Pro 4 this past Sunday and it worked very well. I actually had oversteer while running a spool. The only change that I made to the setup was using the stock springs from the Hara kit ( pink and white?) and 50 wt. oil in all of the shocks. Unfortunately the body I was using had suffered some damage above the front wheels so every time I turned left the body would get caught on the tires.

I hope it works as good on the Cyclone when I get it.

Actually, if I remember right, they have the same tooth count. I think the change may come from a smaller small bevel gear. But the big gear should be 39T, like the Pro4 gear.

If you do the math you can't get to 2.5 to 1 with a 39 tooth ring gear the only formula that works is 16/40 that is a tc3 gear set is.The only way to get it with 39 tooth ring gear is a 15.6 pinion.

Well in that case, you need to change both gears.

Steve, when did you get a pro4 ?

ChadCapece

Arun, have you tried boiling the gears yet?
