Sorry to hear you moved on Mr. Copeland.

Here are some new photos of new products and the new Hobby Pro PRS1 that have surfaced. ; )

Hobby Pro USA's shipment is in customs in California, so the Stadium Trucks and new parts should arrive any day at the warehouse. Have a great weekend and happy racing to everyone!







New competition grade parts arriving soon.

What I wanted to hear. Thanks!

Thought that I heard that a new gear cover was coming that would allow for the larger pinions for stock racing. If this is true are they in or how do I go about getting one. The gear cover on my 2014 version is hitting on the pinion

This buggy won't disappoint. Performance is amazing, durability is that of a tank ( had a marshal step on mine, and it bounced back up still rolling and finished the race), parts are readily available through hobby pro with fast shipping, and customer service is great. It is the best car I have driven, and I'm not the only one that feels that way I'm sure. I hope you do pick one up, and if you do and have any questions, I'd be happy to assist you.

Can somebody suggest a good mid-motor setup for my new 2014 version? I looked at the setup sheets on the HobbyProUSA website but they appear to be the older versions. My track indoor red clay and the tire of choice is Holeshots and Impacts. It's a small to medium sized track with mostly 90 & 180 degree turns. There aren't any wide sweeping turns and I'll be running a 13.5 motor. (10.5 is almost too much motor and 8.5 is way too much motor) I built the buggy as mid-motor with full size steering servo, shorty lipo, and esc on a shelf above the battery at the back but I haven't ran it yet. Please help with a good starting point for the setup. Thanks.

fanfor18,

Here is a link to the Updated Gear Cover which will fit all gears. It is a running change and available now.

Also, here is a good starting setup for Mid Motor.

Excellent point Andrew.

I think I'm finally going to sell my B4.2 and jump on a PRS1. It just seems all too promising.
I happen to LOVE the stock body but is there any other body out for this car as of yet that anyone knows of besides that Tamiya with the larger side plates?

Bodies for the 22 fit pretty well with the stock narrower side pods.

Any chance on getting a PRS1 with custom Slime Green parts instead of red?

My man Fife Dawg told me that would be Hot sex:
