i read it is a evo 3 copy. am i better of getting one of those in that case?

personaly it looks the same..but i dought it would be..
i myself have never been a HPI fan,, but they may have a good car on there hands.

yeah, ive got the lab 7.6, and its on the pace, thats for sure, im no on road guru but i was quite happy with it, once uni is over, i'll be getting back into the on-roads, the mid motor mount has its advantages and disadvantages, i think it depends a lot on driving style, cya

have u guys got any driving tips??? and does any one know when that fantastic pro 4 is coming out??:D

HPI Pro 4
 

Any one with a computer can draw a picture of a car and thats all it is until you see it ain't real just like HPI spare parts
Anyone who like me who has owned over the last couple of years a HPI product should wonder if we will ever be able to buy though a LOCAL HOBBY SHOP the spare parts or upgrades for them.

I LIKE MY PRO 3 and am keeping for racing BUT it sucks when you have to get spares for it overseas. Hell you can not even by them from BUY HPI (their own shop)
Yes I AM P**** OFF

Buy HPI ain't the only one... at least they're USA-only.
No worries, just take your $$ elsewhere easy.

But what about...

Heck, even Estonia, Lithuania and Djibouti residents can access
the shopping site.. just not Oz and NZ!!!

Driving Tip # 1
 

If your behind somone.. and your strugleing to catch them.."calm down a bit" for each corner.."watch there line" and then improve on it by an inch or so :closer to the apex" ..after a couple of laps you will catch them.. this a driving style i use at every race..
Once you catch them its now "how you pass them"............

Re: Driving Tip # 1
 

I'd just tail 'em until they make a mistake... :D


Big problem with touring cars is that there is lack of driving finesse.
Or is this because its a 'scale' race of the V8s, paint rubbing etc.

I began racing in 1/8 onroad... and racing there is sooo clean.
Good lines, clean overtaking - race strategy counts!

is it just me or does that pro 4 look like a new yokomo copy??? but you cant beat the original...go the tc3

Well I am thinking about selling my TC3 off in the next couple of weeks. Very fast and sorted out car. It the pink thing running around eastern creek at a fast rate. could be a real good buy for somone like yourself.

Coxy.

have u guys got any idea on how to get rid of a memory in ya battery???

to get rid of the memory effect you can, when i first began i made my own dischager out of brake light bulbs from k mart. plug ya batts onto this after your run, and unplug when lights go dim.

instructions on how to make one of these is at www.balakracing.com
