GPM
im not sure about now, but when i had parts from gpm for my micro and the pro2, some parts virtually dont fit without sanding or they "just wont fit", and some alloy parts are not even tapped at the screw holes.
if youve used thier oil shocks youll know what im talkin about. they use black orings and molding of piston is poor, alot of friction.
not all thier parts are bad, and they might have improved now but just b careful when choosing from GPM
much better alternatives are Square from Japan and some good ones from HK are jet racing, 3racing.

All of you guys that have the PRP Brace....... for the one way gear,,, it "WILL NOT WORK" with the newer Ver. 1.1 gear
You have to use HPI`s backing brace ( I wondered why HPI`s brace was a bit smaller a couple of days ago when I was doing some testing with the PRP vs HPI backing ring
)
So for you users of the PRP brace..I would suggest you stock up on older bevel gears...If you can find them that is
and ALso the newer Pro4 kits here in Japan are now shipping with the Version 1.1 gears and Backing plate
...wonder if the States will be soon to follow

Are you sure that's a Pro 4, you have?
Did you buy the kit sealed / unopened or second-hand? If, second-hand... then it sound like someone played the "swap-out" game.

kits in japan now come with universal driveshafts, unlike MIP CVDs they have the joint on the bone instead of the axle.
how are the shocktowers diff. from tthe previous ones?
