You should use thread lock for the screws. The grease is very important if you want to avoid extrem wear at the outdrives of your spool.

Default spinning pro 4

hello , I know you guys can help me with this one I'm kinda new when it comes to pro 4 and I'm currently on a bind right now, whenever I would hit the thrttle to full speed and just let it stay there for about a second or two (top speed) and then immediately let off ( no breaks applied) the car would turn to the right, I'm running a 27 t motor and cs27 , silver springs on the rear and gold upfront. If you guys would need more info I will try and give some more. Please help.

possible thing to check :- tweak in the chassis

The best way ive found is to take off body posts front and rear, stick a set of cells in and put the battery strap on, flip the car over so it sits on the shock towers, if you can rock the car on the shock towers you have a bit of tweak somewhere, try re tightening the top deck and the diff cases, ive also found the diff cases do not mount flush so you need to level them up, by filing them down.

Its worth getting the upgraded top deck with the holes drilled out to prevent tweak during the race, look on hpi site for info.

Also check nothings binding ie anti roll bars, equal droop either side, toe and camber for good measure... and you will have a car that goes straight..

Default tweak chassis?

even if I'm running a oneway this should not happen right? (turning right when you let of the throttle)?will try what you suggested and hopefully fix the tweak.

If you have a tweaked chassis the car will also pull to the other side (in your case the left side) when you are accelerating. It could also be somewhere in the drivetrain, maybe the diffs aren't working properly so it pulls to one side.
So also check if something's binding and be sure everything runs smooth and how it should be.

the car is not turning left whenever I would hit the throttle,will ckl f there is ay binding parts, I did remove my mounting post and turn it upside down and try to rock it to see if theres any movement, none at all.


and can anybody tell me what does the attachment do? will it work for the front and back?

It gives you more mounting positions for the inner part of the camber rod. I THINK it works for front and back, but don't quote me.

I am having this same problem. Except my car wants to spin out when I make left turns. I have to baby the car through the left turns and it is even worse in the high speed chicane at my local track. I have made the adjustments to my upper deck, changed all rear hinge pins in the rear, checked the tweak after every run and messed around with droop. I bout this car as a back up to my FK05 and would switch back, but this has got personnel! I also have rebuilt the diffs and thread locked the diff adjustment screws. What am I missing?
