Anyone know if Tower are shipping version 1.1 Pro4 kits yet?
Alternatively, can anyone tell me where I can get a 1.1 kit for the same price (or better) than Tower - which is $269.99 after their $30 rebate. (or somewhere close to that, anyhow....)
Thanks.

however if you open your kit inside should be a bag that has an orange piece of paper that says version 1.1 on it.
in my specific instance there where 2 big bags with sub bags in them. on the outside of the larger bag there was the v1.1 bag stapled to it. pretty much showing that it was a 1.0 kit that they added the 1.1 bag to.
yours should be similar if its 1.1
but yeah if not contact hpi and they'll take car of you !

I'm leaving Tues. for the winterchamps. 3 from my local track with Pro4's. I raced last night and I think I have a good carpet setup. I actually have 2. One very smooth and one very aggressive. I'll find which works better for that track.

I fell into the same trap. I would put a 'carpet' setup under my car and tweak and tweak and could never get the car to drive like I wanted it. Then it dawned on me. I needed to look at the setup as rubber tire vs foam tire instead of asphalt vs carpet. I then put Thad Garners asphalt setup under my car and it worked great. A few minor tweaks and the car drives like I want it to.
About the only thing I did different is to put Take Off 22s instead of Sorex 36s on the car.

@WesB:
Mine don't break, but they bend as easy as butter! Iv'e got like 4 useless bent bones lyin around here. A friend of mine just got a TC4 and the HD bones that came with the kit looked ten times more durable. I'll just prolly get 4 of those and de-anodize them.
Can't have any blue on the purple wonder, no?

Seems like guys are breaking stuff on the Pro 4.
Before I get one, is there a company that makes a bumper that protects the whole front of the car? I had to be very careful with the TC4 until I got the NTC3 bumper. If I can't find something that will protect the front end I'll pass on it.
