Yeah, I saw that website... but there's gotta be an easier way... or maybe I should just wait until these things go more mainstream.

TinyRC... you planning on getting a shop list going?

Hop-Ups for the DTM sp are:

1. Carbon Fiber Chassis kit
2. Bearings (6)
3. Spur Gears: 40, 42, 44, 46, and I believe, there's also a 48. I could be wrong.
4. different compound tires
5. 180 sized motor

ABC, straight out of the box, is pretty much race ready, with the exception of bushings, and motor. These will have to be replaced with ball bearings and a 180 motor.

Parts and Hop-ups are at the moment, available through www.Horizonhobby.com go to "browse brands, then click on ABC Boats) (bodies, motors, bearings, gears, etc)

Thunderer: You can't go wrong with an ABC. These cars are built to last, fast, and runs like a 1/10 pancar. Smooth.

Now that's the answer I'd like to hear! Informative and friendly too. I'll let you know when I've got mine going!!!

I have an X4 and the only hop-up I have for it right now is an Orion Elite stock motor and with the 7.2v battery it's really fast.... not as fast as MicroRCEngineering's car

but pretty darn fast...and oddly enough it came with a Toyota GT1 body in the box..nicely detailed...no stickers...pleasant surprise

So, where exactly did you get this X4? Its nice that it came with a body for you.

it is odd about that tamiya model kit saying 194mm size. but hes not wrong! the tamiya 1:24 scales static models do say length of 194 strange yes I know because the car isn't 194mm but thats what it says in the box, go figure....

how fast is the 1/24 sp with the 180 motor? would it compete with a micro rs4 with a big block? horizonhobby.com has a lot of hop up parts for the abc dtm.. tiny rc, you should get some so i can take advantage of the 100 free shipping deal. im thinking about getting of these bad boys..

emonator, we're working on getting more parts for the ABCs, the reason why we don't currently stock a lot of parts is that Horizon is also the distributor for these, and they have it rigged so that we have to buy from them, but on such a poor discount that we can't compete with them! So we're looking for a direct Japanese source, and then we'll be able to offer the lowest prices on ABC parts and kits!
