Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I have been browsing through the parts list of both cars and they seem to be using a different rear belt as well. I guess this should not be a problem since they have been replace by new Wider parts if I understood that right.

I am bit worried concerning the batteries since I use saddle pack batteries because I own an old car. I will test them on a friend's E4FS car and then decide about the purchase.

Is anybody aware whether TM will release a new car? I have seen a new E4D car on their site.

I got the top part on one of my cars.
I takes out the slop on the rear end but you can also use the Wolf Hobbies part that is cheaper.
It also ads 1.5 degrees more toe in when needed.
The other part i don't have.
On my other car i have all the alloy parts from Wolf and that one ahse a lot less slop in the suspension and wheels.
Now going to try the alloy wheelhubs that are used on the E4JS and hopefully all slop is gone.
If you want those K-Factory parts cheaper then they normally are then use a certain not to mention shop in Hong Kong:sneaky::D

Thanks Roy.

Even at the unmentionable shop in Asia (both of them), its still a pricey part.
Use the Wolf hobbies rear hubs,cost even less and the bearing fitment is even better the the K-Factory and they have them with zero toe in and 1 degrees toe in
My interest in the KFactory rear hub was the 1.5 deg additional toe. Just wondering if the 1.5deg outboard toe is better than the 1.5deg inboard toe from the suspension arm mount. The outboard toe worked better on my XRay but wondering if that is different on the E4 due to its pillow ball mounts.

As for the second part, that is the only alum. front side rear hinge pin mount available. I find that its awfully expensive for such a small piece of alum. Just wondering if it is all that necessary.
Just use the stock part works great

Also, can someone explain the differences in the suspension arms for both front and rear? I noticed that there have been changes. The front arm that I recently got looks different than the ones I originally had on the JS. I'm not sure if they're FS or RS arms but the Wolf site has deferred all front arms to the JS part number. Has all the front arms been consoldated into one part?
Both suspension arms have new numbers and both did loose the alum rod in them

About the rear arm, there's the one with the alum. rod in it from the old E4 and the JS all plastic version is there another one? I think I saw one somewhere that said that the alum rod one adds 1.5deg toe. Can someone clarify this?
I have tried all suspension arms that are out there but the only difference was between the E4FS and E4RS rear suspension arms
Again, thanks for all your help.

Thnks Roy but, i'm staying in malaysia. Bit xpensive for u to post the item. The E4 is not using the single steering system. So the holes for the earlier version steering system would fit? And do i have to use the extra posts?

thnks again

If you use the 08 version of the RS top plate you could use the old steering system for sure.
Don't know for the 09 version tho.
You can trim off the extra "ears" from the top plate to match you old plate.
The RS tp makes your chassis a bit stiffer.

I have notice that their is too much vibration on the front end of the car with a spool when turning the wheel, I'm concern that this will affect the handling of the car when cornering since this will cause a lot of wheel hop due to vibration. Anyone experiencing this issue with their E4?
