I just hate ordering across the border. I'm in Canada and I seem to get nailed with customs pretty hard whenever I get stuff. I didn't get window masks with a body that I got so I called up the company and they sent thme up for me. It cost about $27 Can. when customs were done with me. It's a $3 sheet!! And it did have Warranty part/ No Value written on the side of the box and the shipping form.

you should ask those guys to put the value lower than it is i am sure they dont have problem with it i always do it and i never pay customs if its from overseas or the states sometimes they even do it on there own cause they know what a bunch of loosers those people at the border are they nail you for everything unreal.

Default makin low traction arms???

has anyone tried cutting the insides out of the arms to make them flex more to get more bite? i think that it would work sweet cause those arms are so damn stiff and on a asphalt track with med to low traction it would be dialed. not for carpet of course..........any ideas??????

I'm sure a great tire/inset combo would be ideal, but if you're struggling to get rear traction, it would probably be a cool experiment. I just might have to whip out the Dremel...

The "high traction arms" that HPI make are really flexible compared to the standard graphite ones, as they're made of normal plastic.

I believe you can use the HPI graphite shaft up to 12T limit. But if you want to get a better Graphite shaft for your pro4, check out this link:

NORMAL PLASTIC? How much easier are these to break? And do they wear out quite a bit quicker? P/N?
