I suppose it all comes back to what makes you happy. For me the Pro was the way to go, as it was released first. The shocks are the weakest part of the kit and mine are still in there packaging.

Marty,

You forgot the bling servo saver. I prefer the alloy rear hubs to the plastic 2 degree rear hubs. I have started to experiment with running zero toe blocks from the original MO3 kit on the MO5.

I think the car can work without requiring rear toe in. Something else to test in the future.

Anyway, it comes back to a personal choice. I have both a Pro kit and a standard kit which has been blinged to a Pro.

I still believe though that the original Tamiya hopup parts are the way to go, except for a couple of bits from after market suppliers. I have had a few of the cheaper bling bits distort after a knock on a board.

Anyway, enough of my dribble.

Catch ya,

Calvin.
