I've got one! Practically a Hara edition, not much original Pro3 left. It's a very neutral handling car, fast & very easy to drive, but box stock it doesn't quite give you the same performance as other brands for the money.

Yep I race one.
I got a Limited Edition which came with a lot off hop ups making it much better and more value out of the box.
A top deck takes out most of chassis the flex if thats your 'thing' and HPI are about to release a full carbon fibre tub chassis.
Cheers

(Slowly raising hand)
Got one, but for the money spent to make it what it is now, could have bought 3 Xrays or Corallys.
Very quick and easy to drive on rubbers. Still bogs down in corners on foams thou. Just can't get it to carry corner speed.
I love the car but alot of maintainence needed to keep it at the front at my local track. Unfortunately don't always have the time to prepare it, (i.e. re-shim arms to keep slop out etc.). When I do, it's one great car again.
Not alot left on it HPI thou. And there's alot of aftermarket stuff still to be used from Japan and the US. I'm cuttting my losses at this point. Can't afford to have a car worth more than my day 2 day car.
Overall a very enjoyable car to drive and setup. It'll always have a special place in my heart. But it's had to make way for a Corally. Can't come to sell it yet!

Yeah, i have the HK LE pro2. It is still quite compeditive in stock, but im getting an xray later this year. The only things i have broken on the car is the super front one way, and the one way centre diff. i replaced the centre diff with the one piece robinson racing one.
My car prefers rubber to foams though.
In addition to all the original hopups (aluminium heatsinks, graphite shock towers, aluminium threaded shocks etc etc) it has chrome mip cvds and graphite front and rear arms.
I dont think i will sell the car, as not many of these rare hk editions are around these days!!!
