hahaha, that is so funny!
all the FK guys jumped the ship, now there's a new hpi.
that top deck looks flexy dude. maybe not the best for foams.
so are any of the "fk jumping to pro4" guys gonna sell their pro 4's?
honestly all these new car designs,gets so bloody tiring.

aven if i decide to buy the new HB car or the xray. i will still keep the pro4. and i know many others will to. because it is such a nice car.
yeas i would agree that top deck does look very 'flexy'. i'm shure it won't be too bad the have probably countered the flex some how.

maybe if it's bad with foams, everyone else in australia will finally see the light and stop using them!
control rubber, like the rest of the world races on!

I would imagine that the car was designed to be run with rubbers.
Looks very nice

or you might find that everyone will keep using rubber, because it's just so much easier to set up your car with (rollout.... changing rideheights & rollcentres!? hahaha)
most of the guys up in queensland are starting to see the light and move over to rubbers, maybe one day the rest of the country will too.

Now now, thats enough about rubber/foam, we're here to discuss that merrits of this loverly purple piece of machinery and its relations to the rest of the cars on the market.
Won't be to long before Elect TC will be like 1/8th scale, almost all the chassis look the same, the colour of the bodies will be the only difference.

oh yeah, the car ~
there's only so much you can do to make cars look different at a chassis level when the only major choice you have is belt/shaft.
i think i'll be getting one of these new cars, i was just about to organise getting a new pro4 kit, but i think i'll hold off a bit longer for the HB chassis to come out

people must just hate HPI or something
when it had a shaft, it was a tc3 copy
it has a belt now, so it must be a copy of a 415!
because of course, the 415 is the only belt drive carbon deck car on the market!

and the 415 was a copy of a tech racing car (or another of the japanese exotics i forget) and such and such is a copy of whatever... does it actually matter?
each rendition of the "touring car" be it shaft or belt must include some elements of whats gone before... oldfart is right ... before too long just change the body colour
just goes to show there is nothing new under the sun
(its about time the rubber v foam "discussion" was reinvigourated... now how does one run a search for old threads 
)

yea exactly, it's not as though you can jsut like include an extra 3 wheels to make it different or something.
if something works well, keep working on that design and make small changes to make it better, look at the TC3-TC4 progression, when i first saw it i couldnt actually tell the difference (hell i still cant if i dont see the little air intake thing), although from what i hear it's a completely different car to drive.
as for the tyres, i'll meet you over at the other thread!
