3rd : are the shocks with the ally cap in the MR kit any good, as i know the plastic rtr shocks have probs with the cap coming off.
4th apart from the turnbuckles, bearings & possibly the shocks (depending on the answers to No3) is there any other bits that are essential upgrades.
5 :is the plastics used in the XPRO lots better than the kit MR.
6 do the ribbed front tyres work outside on dirt or astro
7 :does the middle idler gear need replacing if running an 8.5t bl motor or 10t double brushed
thanks in advance  |
Firstly if you want a rtr for havin a bask then the MR is fine and smoe upgrades over time will be helpful.
If you're going racing then the Pro is a must. The shocks are really good infact I have NO idea what people are thinking when the change to any other brand of shock.
The AR (Team C) springs are really good or Kyosho springs also fit (correctly) Losi springs are too big they'll work
but not ideal.
Not sure if the plastics are different I've only ever owned a Pro kit.
Buy suitable rubber for your track don't rely on the kit ones being anything other than long wearing for bashing
Idler is fine when it's time to replace it get the one for the HPI blitz.
