Thanks guys I appreciate it.
Has anyone been able to contact HPI and find out what has been going on with the lack of parts. Its getting a little aggraviating having the car and not being able to race it do to a lack of parts available. Its gotten to the point where I've had to break out the rally car again in order to race.

NO I think that the Gears will have some soort of coating on them...similar to what Tamiya has on there Dampers( Floro coat..or something... )

Well, I broke down and ordered my stuff last night. Ordered from 3 different companies, It'll be interesting to see which stuff gets here first, Tower, Speedtech, or PRP. Any bets?

Default springs

I have a question about springs...I know that you can use the tc3 springs on the pro 4, but, which associated springs are closest to the stock hpi springs. I would like to know so I have a good starting point from the ae springs. I have all of them, and only the stock hpi's for now. Thanks for any info-
