Finally a answer to the spektrum! My guess would be all manufactures will be switching to 2.4MHz. Looks like a simply plug in module and receiver, wounder if it will work with exhisting 3PK's? So now its official we've gone from synthesized 75 & 27, to 2.4MHz in less than 2 years! Wonder whats next.

hey my battery keep ejecting from the car in hard hits ,any ideas./ Do you use the battery holder? I shoo-goo tire insert underneath the battery holder where it holds the batteries. It has worked well for me. The insert holds down the battery tighter. Hold that helps.
I agree with you about any possibility of a new HPI car. Maybe they still have to stick with shaft drive?

next best idea volt meter in the radio to check external battery . or other funtion like memory stick .

good idea ,sticky stuff to the foam to have more holding power.

By the time the Pro5 arrives on the Hobbyshops shelves, I'll surely get one especially when the Hara edition comes out, but still keep and race my Pro4 against all odds.

if HPI does put out another car...
I hope they further evolve the pro4..
aluminum bulheads...
lower the top deck for better CG.

Hopefully the price is in the same range.
