the ofna drivers have been running this car and from what ive heard it will be available aprox. 1 month from now. Team driver jeffrey lin just set the track record at revalation this weekend with this car. This car was TQ in both expert sedan over 7 seconds and amatuer sedan by one lap. Ryan Namori was TQ for Amatuer sedan. I hope the price for the pro will be pretty low. Me and a couple of my friends are thinking of switching from RRR to this car when it is available.

Anyone know the differences between the RTR and pro edition?
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...x4&FVPROFIL=++
Looks like a copy of the RRR to me. I wouldn't trade a RRR for the GPX4 pro. They look to be about the same. I myself, race a Mugen MTX3-prospec. From the looks of it, price-wise, the GPX4 looks to be a direct competitor to the Mongoose. I know the mongoose sells for only 199 now at ultimate hobbies. If the GPX4 PRO sells for that price, I might have to pick one up just to test it out I also hear HPI is coming out with a Hara edition R40. With Mugen coming out with the MTX4, looks like we'll have an exciting end to the summer, and a great beginning for next season's races.
I know Jeff's hometrack is revelation, so that could play a hand in him setting the track record there. Does he ever go to Sun Valley to race? I race there, and I'm actually there every friday for practice. I'd love to see the pro's come over to sun valley to race. Every race I've been to, has been small. Revelation is taking all the business away from SV lol. I don't blame them...SV hasn't been kept up well, even though its the largest on-road track in CA. The owner of SV just doesnt care about the track. The tech at SV, Richie, is there everyday working hard, helping others all the time. He should be the owner...he practically runs the track anyhow.

it also has rear cvd's,carbon fibre top deck and the side belts on the other side of the chassis. the chassis is also slightly thicker and the shape is a little different. it uses 0.8 gearing (spurs are the same as mugen,i run a mtx3 pro spec aswell and i interchange them) the pipe is different,and seems to be pretty good,i've currently got it on my prospec with a jp.
there a good car,but if you think there up to the level of a rrr or a prospec,your kidding yourself

Do i think it is better than the RRR no but if it in the same level with lower costs on pricing for parts i'm sold.
another car i'm considering is the mtx4 so i guess i'm getting which ever one gets released first i know the mugen kit price will be up there with the rrr but mugen prices on parts are reasonalbly priced and they do last long based on my experience with the mtx3
