Your using these with the EvoIV suspension though, right? Does that make any difference to the spring rate? or is it just a case of more options on mounting? I should be getting my set soon enough, although I don't think I'll use it straight off, but at least it means I don't have to shell out for the Alu rear hubs.
(Maybe I can stop spending money soon, along with the MRT-VX Pro I brought this week, gonna be a big CC bill this month...)
Finally I have one, more open question.
Having run the car at the weekend with stock wishbone mounts, I've now changed it to D/D on the rear (2deg toe with std hubs, right?) and C/A on the front (I brought the front A mount when I got the car). What sort of affect will this have on the car? I rember reading somewhere on here that the narrower front end (due to C/A) gives it more steering, whilst also providing -1 deg of inboard toe out.
How does this inboard toe-out affect the car? I assume it will affect it when the car has the suspension loaded, as otherwise it would be no different to the standard set-up right? (I usually run with 0 deg toe anyway).
Thanks in advance

Hey Tarnjit
Im looking at racing at bedrock on wednesday so any tips you have on setup for your home track would be good to share if you dont mind.
Just got a package from japan with all the new 415 parts and two EVO IV kits

Ok, all you expert!!!
I'm jumping back into the hobby. I've blown the dust off my HPI RS4 Pro...yes, it's just a Pro, guess that would be a Pro 1.
And although it still drives quite well, I want to update to a new chassis.
My research has narrowed it down to a choice between the HPI Pro 4 and the Tamiya 415.
I really enjoyed driving the old HPI Pro, and found it very durable so I'm leaning toward the new Pro 4...but, the local hobby shop has all but sold me on the 415.
Soooo, what puts the 415 above the Pro 4...technical details wise...
Thanks.

im more or less running cosgroves setup with a tiny bit softer rear end (shock positions) , CS22 are by far the best tire, if you havent got them then u may ifnd yourself a little off pace. sorex tires with a moulded work good too.
Ruduce the castor to about 4degree
Running about 1degree camber all round.
19t i was running the belts 1 looser all round with a bit of skip off the line but i will be running at 1+ from now on.
seeya at the track

(BTW it was about what affect running C/A blocks on the front does to the handling)

question?
is the tamiya coming out a solution on the diff cover or modification to lessen the dirt in coming in? like the xray with libernth cover.

I'll leave it in for now, but I feel it's binding, I know exactly where to look, thanks for the reply
