HPI-1: there isn't much to say about Schumacher's site. They have been running the same basic set up since......forever! Wish they would update it. But, Car Action's site does just as much traffic outside of the message board as HPI's site, probably more, yet they manage to keep their message board up and running(w/pictures). I may not know HPI's specific system, but I know their board has crashed more than anyone else's. 
You should have came out on Sunday. CIVIC91 threw our motors on the Turbo dyno. That 3 year old ParadoxPro of mine put in better numbers than that brand new P2K2. Thats not good!
My FantomMVP produced some great numbers though. I had the Hellfire in the car, so I didn't have a chance to test it.
You going to make it out this Sat.?

Pro3 Outdrive Cups
What kind of Pro 3 Outdrive cups (inner cvd adapters, whatever you want to call them) are available? The stock composite plastic pieces break easily and I have customers that want aluminium upgrades or some kind of upgrade. Who makes some that are available here in the USA? thanks...

I've answered in the neagtive on the HPI forum - but it occurs to me now that there must be a real market for some outdrive sleeves if someone was to make them.
I haven't broken an outdrive for an age, and I know they would be slower, but i reckon a lot of people would appreciate the peace of mind.
They should probably be steel or titanium rather than aluminium though.

True, should be steel or Ti-...I had problems with my RC Lab outdrives, they are aluminium and the CVD was steel. The only way to make them last was to dremel the outdrive to accept an Xray dogbone blade piece.

I don't have that problem anymore because I race Schumacher Missions now. I couldn't be happier, everything about the car "works" and there are no "small details" that were overlooked or things you find out later. It's simply a great platform to race with. You need very few things to be completely competitive out of the box.
Anyway, I won't go on because this is a Pro3 forum...still looking for any kind of reasonable outdrive upgrade but aren't expecting to find anything. The IRS upgrade would likely work just fine if we could find an aluminium outdrive for the Pro3.

Hi,
I have never heard a good thing about HPI pro3, so it never sparked me any interested to put any money into buying one.
However, I recently saw the HPI pro3 Hara edition car. That car caught my eye and made a brand new impression to me.
I have heard that most Pro3 owners have pretty much hop up their car to the standard of the soon to be released Hara edition. I just wonder how good the car gets once you hop-up to the hara edition-type. Is it more senstive to adjustment? Stronger? Stiff?
Also, is there any easy borken part on the Pro3?
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!

So a car you thought was rubbish becomes good as soon as it gets dressed up in purple aluminium and carbon fibre?
No wonder the aftermarket parts manufacturers are still in business.
In my opinion, you can get virtually all the performance benefits of a Hara spec car out of a standard pro3 just by buying a top-deck, and the 3 or 4 degree caster blocks if you are on a tight track.
Fragile parts are basically the outdrives, which are prone to stripping if you take too many hard hits, or if you set up your suspension with too much travel.

In my opinion if a manufacturer want to make a car that is supposely competitive should've put together all the parts that will make the car competitive. If HPI market the Hara spec pro3 as a regular Pro3 at very beginning I think there will be no complains about the car.
And Yes, I admit that Carbon fiber and purple parts just make the car looks ten times better!. Hey people do base their first impression on looks~
