You guys shouild design an upper deck for the RS4 3. It would replace the whole tray thing which is sorta heavy. Since Its not a drect replacement part if you don't have an RS4 3 lying around its gonna be hard to make it so it fits, but if you do it will probably be popular since your prices are so much lower than other companies.
Something similar to this:

we do carry an upperdeck for the pro3, but it doesn't consist of the whole tray system that your inquiring about. Will look into getting one.

Looking For Carbonfiber Hop-ups For Your Nitro
I meant the nitro one, sorry. I'm bored right now so I'll try to make a simple design, the only problems are that if you make it flat (which you have to) the steering servo wouldn't fit right since its down lower. I'll think of something but right now I am thinking of some sturdy hinge type thing (like a L shaped piece of metal to both allow support for the steering servo and to mount the reciever. The piece of metal would look something like: where the bottom another piece of carbon fiber. I think it would work.

EDIT: My drawing didn't come out right lemme make an image.

Do you have any parts for my HPI Super Nitro RS4 Rally? I've been looking for hop ups but I haven't been able to find any. I hope you guys can help.

Windtunnel,
I NEED a strong front bulkhead for my Losi NXT!!! All I can get are the cheap plastic ones made by Losi, and they break just looking at them! Carbon fiber or aluminum. How much would it cost if I sent you the stock one? E-mail me if you think you can do it for less than the cost of my mortgage.

Well, maybe something could be changed as far as the linkage for the sterring... since the hotbodies one is flat.

I just tested it with the servo higher and it works. So there would only be a need for 2 strips or something going just because you mount the steering servo on its side. If you just want to custom make this for me (what would be the charge BTW) I can do that part myself, All i need are some metal strips to bend some holes in order to mount them. I'll start tracing them on a piece of paper and make a design,

I'll have a pic up soon, I'm making it on a piece of paper. Once I do that I'll get a piece of cardboard (sturdier) and copy the design over and cut all the the holes. Then I will fit it onto the car and if it fits I guess I can send it to you in the mail.

Windtunnel, I made something out of cardboard but it is by no means exact. I put it onto the car and it fits, but the servo hole is crooked (still fits but looks bad) and the mounting holes are not perfect either. If you have an RTR3 by HPI laying around that you could use to modify the design so it fits I'll send it to you I guess but otherwise I will probably just buy the hot bodies one or an HPI one is one exists.

Kyle,
Sorry, but i don't have a pro3 laying around, but what you can do is send it to me anyway... trace it out on paper, and wirte down the adjustments if you can measure them with calipers.. and i can do a first article out of scrap material and send it to you to see if it fits correctly, if not.. we can make adjustments fairly easy.

I'm gonna ballpark around $45.00 for the chassis, front and rear shocktowers.. and what ever else you would like.

Thanx. Sounds good. When I get the money (I have about 30 now) I'll let you know and I'll send you the parts I want.
