Iv'e got 2 race days on mine (2 of them)... really like em. Been a HB guy for a long time (offroad).
Looks like the aluminum chassis is out of stock everywhere, I could use another one. I picked up one for one car when Tower was having a HB sale... paid $4.99! I should have bought all that were in stock at that price... but at the time, I didn't even own a Pro5, I just thought an aluminum chassis for 5 bucks was a steal, so had to get it.

Just add a small belt tensioner on the upper deck and it will be fine.

This kind of tensioner is not really there for the tension. It is there to avoid oscillations of the belt...

Not directly. You will need to bore out the outer pin hole on the c-hub from 2mm to 2.5mm to accommodate the larger HB pin size. You will also need to shim the c-hub in the arm with a couple 0.5mm shims or it will float front to back.
The HB steering knuckle is taller so you will need to file it down about 0.5mm for it to fit into the c-hub.
The yokomo king pin collars are a different size too. May want to pick up a few packs. #BD-414C
I use the BD8 -1mm hubs on my car. They have more room for the DCJ's. But either Yokomo hub is way more durable than the stock HB.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Sooooooooooo... I just came into ownership of not one, not even two, but three of these things, and a good number spares. One will be a shelf queen, one will be a racecar, and the third will probably be a donor car.
