The 2005 kit isn’t available from HPI USA. The HARA edition(alloy shocks included)is the equivalent kit that we just recently released...in the US. If you’re buying an overseas kit in the US, it’s understandable that it might cost slightly more.

What current Nitro TC on the market includes Ti screws? You don’t even want to know what the retail would be on a kit that includes $100 worth of Ti screws…

Also, id would say that most R40 owners aren’t even running on a track surface that the chassis can benefit from stiffer suspension components. Graphite arms are merely a tuning option…much like springs or shock oil. Its better to start with the plastic composite parts first.

ogreasurada,
We already make a pro nitro sedan!
