We just recently won a 3 hour enduro, and I also almost TQ'd the King of Cal race going up against 30 other cars with my Pro4. Not bad for the oldest car on the track
I went to look up the chassis on Exotek's website and it just says "Coming soon"...

Then I looked at their store and found it. Might be my next purchase as that looks really nice.

I think their site is not as up to date as their shop.

If you go to the shop page it is there ready to be added to cart.

Correct- the main pages are terribly out of date with only the shop portion being up to date. Reason being is Exotek website 2.0 is in the design stages.

I added extra spacing for the rear to give us adjustable wheel base like current tourers. Small tracks= short wheel base, big tracks= long wheel base.

I would have done it to the front blocks as well but unfortunately the front bumper and steering bridge prevents that.

Default New to this thread....

Hey everyone, how's it going?

I bought a Pro4 not long ago for my son to run VTA Class. It came with some extra parts, and I know parts for this chassis are getting scarse....
But, do I understand from reading some of the posts that parts from other cars will work on this chassis?

Thank You for the Help

TC3 CVD bones fit for one.

Cyclone TC (Not sure TCX) uses the same suspension parts so i don't think they are that hard to come by.

I am running Cyclone DCJ- works good but is 2mm shorter then it really should be to fit in the front diff cups. Wait for the TCX DCJ- it will be out soon and includes 46mm shaft which is perfect for the Pro4.

I have tried it but does not fit. Still searching for good metal diff out drives. For now I use the black composite out drive- stronger then the delrin option.
