How are you guys liking the car on carpet with rubber tires? also foam tires?

I have had a XXX-S since it's release, and I'm curious, to say the least.

Hey Erik - You probably don't remember me, but I met you at the Chicago challenge. I was hangin around Bob H. most of the time. Glad to see you on Tech. Feel free to post more pictures..

Couple of questions for "them in the
know" @ HPI.
Who is going to be racing at the
Birds?
Any US release date?
What hop-up parts, or spares, should
be ordered prior to building a Pro 4?
I have a few guys in Florida waiting
on the kits.
Good luck to all your drivers! I am
sure this is gonna be a HUGE week!

the idea behind the button head srews for the top deck is you can take out any tweak the car has, the only problem is it woud tweak easily if you hit something or the chassis twisted to easily

So is the Pro4 going to be shiping this week or has it really been pushed back again??? I have a few friends at the "Birds" and they say they haven't seen any Pro4s. Has there been a recall on this kit or something???

Default Pro 4 at the Birds

So far I seem to be the only driver that has the Pro 4 at Snowbirds. The car is performing well beyond my expectations and I have only broken it one time so far. Tonight is the club race so I'll try to post how the car does when it's placed against the others soon. My opinion of the car so far is that it's worth every penny of the kit cost, excellent handling and durability.
