Mi4LP(pro or race version?)

[stnorm]

having only raced buggies before I now wish to have a go at 1/1 track racing and the Mi4LP stands out for me. Trouble is which version to go for. I realise the 'pro' is higher spec but apart from the CF chassis and more adjustable shocks is it worth me paying out the extra £120 ish for it. are there other better parts in the pro kit and if I say, went for the cheaper version could it be upgraded bit by bit? Is the race version £120 slower out of the box?

The shocks on the Pro kit are significantly better than the ones on the race car - it's not even close.

The pro also has roll bars included.

So you would say i should pay the extra dosh now to save me having to upgrade in the near future. the better shocks work out to be about £60. Thats still cheaper than going the whole way for a 'pro chassis'

Get pro.
Race kit has chrome diff balls, medium flex wishbones, simplier shocks, S1 instead of graphite and most importantely - plastic driveshafts.

I can't help thinking that it's going to cost you a lot extra to do the upgrade route - and for me it's a much better kit.

Obviously 100% your call, and if the initial outlay is too much, then that's an issue of course.

Thanks all for your advice but ive encounted a problem with the chassis. Its only designed to take Lipo packs with 4 humps underneath them. my bionics packs have 6 humps and so wont sit flat on the chassis. is this because Schumacher wants you to buy only certain manufactuers lipos? looks like an Xray instead mybe
