Its no different than any other new touring car. It has a few problems. A few of the other top cars had gear problems. The TC3 did, the Surikarn EVO series does, and Yoke SD did so the HPI Pro4 is no different. HPI will address the problem. Also cars lose a ton of money after you buy them. I see the Yoke SD's taking a beating when they are sold used. TC3's are almost given away. I don't see much differance with the Pro4.
