just in case R10 has the 1, 1.5, and 2 deg pivot blocks in stock. I already placed my order.

And My BMI chassi should be here by the end of the week. I can't wait.

It is ok but the BMI is just a nicer looking setup, thicker, and has the battery slots already chamfored for you.

Then it should be less susceptable to Tweaking problems.

Have you had a chance to put it on a Tweak Station?

I should be getting my new (stock) parts tomorrow. Hopefully I will have something positive to report after I install them.

I will check out the tweak tommorrow when I have the new BMI chassis on. My standard setup was almost spot on with my tweak. I probably got lucky. When I ran the car it turned the same in both directions which is also a good indication of the tweak.

@rc-zombies: the GT body (or anything low profile) is needed for a racing class, where the choice of body is not regulated.

@Doug Gaut: Thx fo the partnumbers.


I´ve had my Pro4 out for several Training sessions and one race so far.
Qualified in the race 3rd spot but was not able to fight for victory -car was only dialed in for going fast and not fighting positions, so I made 5th. But the race beeing the last one for the winter season I only had to watch one guy to secure my 2nd place for the season, I was satisfied.

Until now I´ve got the aluminium upper links, the damper balls and RPM Ball ends which will be put on once the stock ones wear out.


In 2 weeks we have a very big toy and hobby fair in Germany and there are races for 5 days!

One of them is truck racing which I really enjoy just for the looks of the bodys:


Does anbody know of a different looking truck body that might fit on a toruing car?

@TC3Racer67: Novak GT7, Novak XXL 27 Mhz and a Robbe FS250S Digital Servo which is going to be replaced today with a Hightec HS5925MG.
I just peeled of the stickers from the novak stuff.

gotcha, it just doesn't look like a gt7 would out of the box, what'd you do to change it? something with the wires?

now all you have to do is dye the cases black so they don't stand out like an eskimo in florida.

I don´t think you can dye that novak stuff.

but if you sand it well and spray paint it black you might have some people look very close at your car!
