Kit does NOT come with toe blocks. You only want to change the rear toe blocks so if you want all options, get another A, B, C, D + X. I only think that Block C + A is really necessary at least for the start as that way you will have 1 degree, 2 degree and 3 degree options.

Plastic clear covers I have were an option part from Flap. Tamiya do make one but its SERIOUSLY limited, only to a hobby show in fact.

The kit does come with 2 spurs, 90 and 96. Front Oneway gear is not so important. Aluminium center cup and front one piece cup joint thingy are the essential hopups as the kit only comes with plastic cups. In 1 hit, your shaft is out of the car and you aren't going anywhere until you buy a MASSIVE parts tree for 1 part. Get the aluminium piece, trust me.

I'd say just get 4 pcs of 950s and see how you go. I've had my car since it first came out and I've only replaced 2 bearings.

Default Blocks

for those that asked.

the kit comes with 3 A blocks and 1 E Block. it gives you something like 3+ toe in in the rear.

i switched mine to D/A up front and A/B in the back. i usually run A/A in the back.

for those that want to narrow the stance. the worlds replica kit comes with 1XA - 1XD. these blocks are 1mm lower when compared to the evoIV. or you can just use the X blocks.

like someone said earlier. it is VITAL you pick up the one piece input shaft and drive cup for the front, and the lightweight input shaft and aluminum cup for the rear.

ive ran my car in stock and 19T and i have yet to lock up a bearing. but i do have 4 extras.

Hey Hebiki,

why do you change the front toe blocks when you can do the same thing by lengthening/shortening the tierods for the uprights??

You change the front blocks to sweep the a arms back and then you will readjust your steering tie rods to about zero toe in. If you sweep the a arms like that it will produce more steering. The HPI Pro4 is setup like this from the factory.....If I remember when I had mine it was set at 2.5

The effect is mid corner steering...nice for those who run spools from time to time

Oh okay. Thanks for the clarification regarding the front toe blocks. I may need to invest in some.
