In the early pages of this thread... I requested HPI to come out with a 190mm NSX GT body... it's finally been released...

Unfortunately it won't fit the Pro4
I tried to fit the 200mm body..shock towers are way too tall...

And I live in central Kansas. Heck we still have outhouses, horse and buggies, the works!!!!! It takes 6 months for clothing trends to hit here and by then its already old news on the coasts!!
BTW, politicians are , well I wont say it!
Did anybody see the pics of Hara's car at the worlds warm up race? What body is that? Its a Hot Bodies body but any part numbers? It looks nice.

zonbie...what i was thinking of what you could do is
cut the bottom set of holes off the tower...and mount the tower with the remaining 2 holes to the bottom part of the mount on the gear box case.
do you get what i mean?

one of the tracks here lets us run any body we want...this was just an alternate to the stratus, alfa, or Mazda that everyone else is running...

I don't know if I'm considered a "racer" or not, but I can't race mine right now because of parts -- and I know there are others in the same boat. What are my alternatives if I want to race? Either use an old car or get a car with established parts support.
The point of the whole thing is...parts support is why I bought my first HPI and why I've kept buying them since. I could walk into any store I happened to be near and get what I needed.
Now it seems that I'm on the outside of an inside joke where this is actually a common pattern for them...I know *now* not to buy a new HPI, I just wish I would have known that before I laid out the cash for it.
Heck, even people as big as LOSI cannot keep up with demand on the black belt conversion for the XXX-S's.
I'm talking arms, c-hubs, hardware...you name it. Virtually everything on the car is in very short supply or backordered till who knows.
Remember who gave you the Ultimate tip?
Now they're all out. 
I hope everybody hits the tracks this weekend so we can compare notes and learn more about what the car wants on all surfaces.
