Any ideas please?

I've ordered from the sight multiple times with no issues.
It would be nice if they did paypal though.

Here are my two MRS4s. The CLK is pretty stock, save a Hitec servo and Orion brushed mod motor; the NSX is really well-prepared. Penguin RC LeMans chassis, Mamba system, Hitec servo mounted very solidly to the chassis, suspension is dialed in, rear ball differential, and it handles beautifully.

One more to show off the CLK's voluptuous curves.

Where are you guys finding the hpi bodies for this thing? I found tires just need to stock up on some bodies. Thanks.

For me it's almost been up to luck - an old hobby store in Wheeling (Ad-Venture Hobbies, formerly Venture Hobbies) are really in a rut right now and have a ton of old inventory. They happen to have several 140mm and 150mm bodies like the Silvia, RX-7, Civic, and NSX simply because no one's been by to buy them in years. Unless there's a similar shop near by or you find something on E-Bay, the likelihood of finding one is slim.

I tried running a 3S pack on my Mamba 25 5400 brushless setup and it truly is over the top. For four years I've run an Orion 1600 mAh NiMH pack, so between the higher voltage and higher current, the car runs like a beast. Good thing I have the metal front driveshafts!

Seems they changed they're websight a bit and there's less selection than there once was, but you can still get tires here:http://dealer.megatech.com/results_h...up=HPI%20MICRO , along with a few other upgrades.

Edit: this is what I was actually looking for http://megatech.distone.com/itBrowse...pl=AC55&pgl=12
