I too will wait for the pro version. For weeks they have been listing / stocking spares for the cars. They haven't invested this $ for failure. I 'm sure they will have many hop-up parts as time moves on.
I'm having great luck with RC Mart. $20 bucks for shipping most of the time, but hell it's coming from HK to Wash DC in a week. An Express Pro with Novak Brushless and Monster Mini body should be quite a package
