I raced a Pro2 at the HPI Challenge, and I ran stock. But it was last year, and I had never driven a shaft drive car then, so I won't be able to tell you much. But I do notice that my Pro4 is definately slower than my Pro2. In terms of acceleration, I can't help you there.

If a Pro2 is quicker than your Pro4..You have some problems with your Pro4.. On the Belt vrs. Shaft question,For me a shaft drive car is just quicker out of the corners,I like a shaft driven car in stock but I dont(or in this case cant.. ) drive a shaft drive car in mod.For me a belt car puts the power down alot smoother,It's alot easier on your car(as in You DONT break gears.. )The cars I'm comparing are Pro4,Alex R3,TC4,Evo4,XrayFK04,Shuie Mi2,415,Tech MY02R.I "test"(i think it's called play.. )at least 4 days a week..

Maybe it just seemed slower. I drove the Pro2 out in my street, and it would go right by my feet. But I ran the Pro4 out in a parkinglot, further away from me. Maybe it was just an optical illusion? I did have to rearrange a battery pack. Maybe I f'ed it up? I've got some Fusions coming in a few weeks. Maybe that will make a difference.

It could be a different gearing between your Pro 2 and Pro 4, this would make a big difference to the top speed and acceleration so I'd check to see if you were using the same final drive ratio in both cars.

Well, I just went to www.gearchart.com, and here's what I found:
The Pro2 has an internal drive ratio of 2.1, while the Pro4's is 2.4375. With a 116 tooth spur and a 35 tooth pinion, the final ratio is 6.96. With the stock spur of the Pro4 and the same pinion gear, the final drive is 6.82. So apparently, my Pro4 should be slightly faster. Maybe I just hosed up my battery?

a TC4? I'm putting together my Pro 4 and I was wondering if the cars are alike in setup? What does one do over the other in driving characteristics.

I need some advice on how to keep the batteries in place in my Pro 4. Just build one and ran in the race this last weekend. The battery was knocked out twice due to being hit on the side. I am using the battery holder and have screwed down the post down to the maximum but the battery still falls out. What are you advice on dealing with this problem? Thanks!

The main characteristic difference.. is the PRO 4 actually works and the TC4 doesn’t.

did you put the hpi foam strips under the batter brace?

You need to bevel the battery slots on the chassis.I have been running a PRO4 since they were released and this is the surest solution I have found....besides strapping them in with tape!

Yeah, the only thing really keeping them down while using the battery brace is the foam strip that runs on the underside. You should never have problems while that is in- it locks those bad boys down!
