while in the subject... what parts should i get?

aluminum knuckles, steering bellcranks, servo mounts, tobee input outdrives (i thought speedtech had them but they aren't there anymore), I will also need extra cvd bones (are tobee ones the same? MIP ones are $$$ compared to tobee)

I think that would cover the exterior of the pro4...

I don't see the need to anodize the oneway or that prp plate that is coming out.

i would have to polish the titanium turnbuckes...


O, should i get those hotbodies bumper standoff anodized?
What about body posts? should i also get some pivote blocks?
I don't know if i should, but should i also get the front c hub and the rear hub carrier too? i just don't want to buy it, get them done in green and bend them...

if you're going to re-color...get all the aluminum parts you can afford...get it all done at one time..this will save you alot of time and money in the long run... the Tobbee bones are identical to the MIPS..... when I had my Pro3 recolored it cost me like $60.00 for almost 2 cars...Pro3 and 12th scale.

What's recommended gearing for a Chameleon 19T on a pretty wide open track with a 150-200' straight? With stock spur.

thanks.

According to the Pro4 tuning guide around 6.2~6.3
I'll try it out this weekend.

personally, i would just stick with the plastic parts... alloy bits look cool (the PRO4 has plenty of purple already) but add weight, and are costly to replace...

haven't driven mine yet, but strongly believe this thing will take a beating... truly an impressive platform..

just get an extra set of front hubs and carriers... and maybe a couple ring and bevel gears.. well, that's what i would do...

Yo HPI!.... this thing is NICE!!!...

the shop up here in canada will charge 70 buckscad... (around 50usd)
but i don't know if i really want to do it anymore...

The reason being that what if i break a green part that i don't have spare for!

But i am gonna think about it...

what do you think a bad driver will break?

I can only think about CVD bones aluminum wise...
becase breaking aluminum knuckle was impossible for me.

o, maybe aluminum body posts... are they easy to bend/ break?

rc-zombies

the bones will break first on a hard hit...all other parts should survive...even the aluminum body post. if a part gets scratched and silver starts to show...go to your local art store and find a matching permanent designer marker...
I've seen aluminum C-hubs bend...but they can be bent back...

oic..
it looks like you have front body posts?
where did you get them and are they available for rear?

how are tobee aluminum drive cups... show any slight wear yet?

rc-zombies

iTrader: (9)

front body post are from Hotbodies...55mm on ebay. I might have an extra set if you want to buy it...
Tobee has the rears coming out soon.
I just installed the Tobee drive cups...so I don't know how durable they will be.... will probably put back the stock ones.. I have the Square version coming soon... want to buy the Tobee cups from me too...

Oh just remebered when can we expect a new spring kit.

what is everyone using for springs now ae are the right size?

Super Steve

iTrader: (9)

i read that ae fits perfectly but is alittle shorter. However, they said it works perfectly.

tower hobbies have front diff in stock right now along with more pro 4 stock parts.

Yes, M2 flat head screws would be included.

My post may be in violation of the site rules since it is like an advertising post, even though I was just asking if there is interest in this part. But it kind of turned into an order list!?! I didn't expect that. I won't post any more of our parts until I become a registered advertiser. Please stay on the lookout for our stuff though. I have a passion for this stuff and I think our parts are going to make a very good impression on fellow racers.

Thanks again, guys!
