Really? I think even my GV has droop settings, and that didn't even come from the factory with ball bearings!

The reason I ask is there is this one guy...Tom... at my track who uses a pretty clean looking PRO 3 in the stock TC class (as well as Pro-Stock Stampede, E-MAXX, MT, stock touring, and mod touring...kind of like we do! ) and does rather good with it. I was talking to him and he told me they are still widely used in the TC world, but after seeing the cool PRO 4 a while back, and knowing of the cool new Hara car, I'm not so sure he's got the right idea. Mabye he's just in denial!

i dont mean to be a jerk, but your car doesn thave 2005 edition shocks. also it doesnt appear to have graphite camber plates. so not quite a 2005.

I noticed the shocks, but I wasn't sure if the '05 came with them or not. And you're also right about the camber plates. 100% plastic.
-Josh

EDIT: Does anyone have any sway bar mounts they would like to sell to me? Not the ball studs, but the part that screws into the gearbox. I took my rear one off, or lost it in a crash or something, and I don't want to spend the money for the whole parts tree. Thanks.
-Josh

I have the shocks you are asking for,but didn't include them so as to lower the price.If you want the car with the '05 shocks as well,that's a thing we can easilly arrange.
About the camber plates you are right,I don't have them at all.
I thought it wouldn't make any difference and are not so easy to fit,so I didn't spend money buying them...

im not interested in purchasing your car, not sure if thats what you where thinking. i was just letting any prospective buyers know the difference.

good deal, for a good car. you're right that the graphite camber plates are a pain in the butt to use! someone buy this car!

I did use the spool at first..fast exit speeds...but then went back to the one-way...the one-way just has faster overall cornering speed...

Default replacement parts

Can someone tell me if the cvd bones on the tc3/tc4 will work with the Pro-4? I do not have a lhs but there is one about an hour away. They do not stock Pro-4 parts but have plenty of TC4/TC4 parts. Is there anything that will interchange?

Thanks

yes, direct fit...get the TC4 HD CVD bones..
no other parts will fit...better not to mix apples and oranges..

floodo1 thanks for your compliments about my car.
It had been treated like a baby(if you know what I mean...)

JHardy I know a guy who uses TC3 CVDs on his Pro4 and they work great.But my opinion is to use the HPI pro4 hard steel dogbones that I had put on my car.You can see the pictures of my previous post to understand what I say.I think that is the best you can do.You can use spool in the front and will not have to change them ever...

TC3 bones will fit...but I managed to bend those..the shiny steel ones..I found the TC4 HD bones to be more durable and also lighter.
the pro4 hard bones will only work if his car is not already equipped with MIPS CVDS found in the US.

rc-zombies, please look at my car...
It was once equipped with the purple MIP CVDs(there are still at the rear of the car) and I bought the pro4 hard steel universal dogbones (pn: 75184) and they work great...
