Thats odd that they already have that listed. They don't have very many hop ups listed for the car. They are well stocked on parts for it though.

speedtech also carries kawahara. i've ordered from steve before, real nice guy so definitely support his shop!
just FYI, the finish on the kawahara woven graphite is more of a matte finish compared to the shiny stuff HPI has.

A.W. If fingernail pressure is a test, I would say the Delta disc is a bit harder. Which kinda makes sense. I don't know what it's made of, but I was told it is expensive material.

I was wondering wether or not the floating rear body mount is going to be availble anytime soon?

it would be great if it did (and save me a lot of cash to spend on other options).

I believe the material is too soft for the ball cup.

I have not checked any prices of R40 in HK...but after the shipping costs and the extra cost of the kit itself, it may only be like 10 or 20 bucks more to get everything from the LHS, and you will not have to wait...

The version with front one-way and threaded aluminum shocks is only sold in Japan. You may be able to get it online from a Hong Kong dealer though.

I don't think I'll mind. Seems like its best to sell a car with dual diffs. That setup simply fits more tracks.
HPI should however at least offer the kit with the one-way and aluminim shocks here in the states. That way if people want those thing with the kit, they can get them.
