| HPI Micro RS-4's
Bought these off Fle-Bay for me and the son to have something to do in-doors when the weather is bad. We are lucky enough to have a great-room that is 30 x 40 with wood floors and all the furniture is on felt-pads and can be slid out of the way easyly. The blue Nissan Skyline I bought for 73.00 less radio with "Big-Block" motor and Losi ESC. The Vette was RTR for 83.00 stock. We cannot make these things hook-up on foam tires. The Nissan on the straights is tottaly un-controllable and acts like you put a 200 H.P shot of NOS to it......The Vette is a little more calmer, but WFO...both are let's say, very loose.........I've back-off the diffs as much as possible. What tires do we need to get some more grip??? I'd guess some rubber ones??? They are fun tho, on a 6v battery they will run for almost an hour. I cannot imagine what they will do on 7.2. |

I have a few also. They rubber tires are best, but impossible to find anymore. If you do find them buy them. Are you running on carpet? The micro rs4 is a dying car. Noone really runs them anymore. Im the guy that ran up the bid on those two cars. Sorry. |

Ive got the BMW M3 one. Rubber tires are best for wood or linoleum. Ive only driven mine a hand full of times. Its hard to find a good place for them because of the size.

Had a Micro RS4 over the summer that I bought from a friend. Had high hopes of using it as a drifter, but it was too small and WAY, WAY, WAY too overpowered. My buddy had put a Dynamite C4 9200KV brushless and Mamba 25 in it. You could just barely touch the throttle and it would spin violently...even with throttle turned down to 20% on the radio. If I could have ever gotten it to actually hook up, it would have been a 40-50 mph car. I agree with seabeejeep, though. The Micro RS4 is a dying platform and parts are becoming almost non-existent. When I first got mine, one of the front axles was shredded (wonder why) and I wanted to upgrade the diffs at the same time. Took me quite a while to find a place that actually had parts in stock. |

I tried racing one and once you get it to hook up it sheds the rims off of their hub system.. Keep them as stock or lose as possible.
