Think about getting a micro rs4

i have a few extra bucks from working this summer and i don't feel like buying more mini-z parts, so i set out to find something new. i am thinking about a micro rs4 but like anyone i have a few questions first and i can tell by the "Micro RS4s Rock" thread that alot you you have them. First off, i know you can change the width for different cars, so which cars take the widest wheelbase? Also if i get one it will probably be RTR, and i wanted to know how the stock esc that comes with the RTR stack up. also which motors can it take? thanks for your help

Just do it!

Viperkid,

The Micro is an amazing little car, buy one now!

As for widths, the NSX, Viper, C5-R and CLK are the wide rides.
Two wheelbases: 140mm and 150mm

The bodyshells do not come pre-painted (only the RTR does) but they come with pre-cut decals and masks. Bonus!

For more information: http://www.yourmicro.com the planet's premier Micro site.

you might want to stay away from the RTR as you may be like usual rc car'er who wants to upgrade motors and run more cells because the esc will hold you back. b

Do not buy the elite mod unless you want to strip a lot of gears on the diff the shaft is too short and its hard to put the pinion gear on tight just a few hours ago I just ruind mt spur gear

I have an Elite mod on one of mine and I have never stripped a gear...hmmm

Maybe your gear mesh was off


BTW Viperkid... the Stratus is also a wide body

#1 150mm EXO chassis
6-cell
Multiplex 280BB
Hitec Micro servo
VCS shock W/O spring
Steel dogbones
Jet Racing Aluminum mesh wheels
HPI Ball diff
Futaba MC230CR
Novak XXL

#2 Ratzas Pan Chasis
6-cell
Team Orion Elite mod
standard servo
Titanium universals
AVM wheels
Ti rear axle
HPI Ball diff
HPI front one-way
Futaba MC230CR
Novak XXL

I have at least 19 bodies painted and unpainted so I won't list

The one thing I will warn you about is that if you decide to go with a motor other than stock and/or more batteries, you might want to consider steel or alloy universals as the stock ones will break at first acceleration
