I am looking into buying a electric car now becauce they are a little cheaper and i dont have enough for a nitro right now. I was looking at the HPI electric micros and I was just wondering what is about the top speed they go? thanks and if you have one could you tell me about how fast yours goes and if i goes real fast what did you put in to make it go faster thanks

the stock micros outa the box are stupid slooooooww but dont worry jus spend 25$ and get a speed 300 and a motor plate and it will be as fast as you want it trust me its ballistic with a 300 in it,you will also have to buy steel pinions and steel universals for the front and eiether a frnt oneway or ball diff the front stock diff keeps self destructing with the bigger motor but they are great little cars handle better than the mini zs(still have not seen one even come close to my micro) faster than brp's and theres more stuff out there for em,and this is from a guy who dislikes hpi!

so to upgrade to a better faster car, what do i have to buy? u metioned alot of good sutff can u jsut list it here for me so i can look them up on tower to start my pricing to figure out what ill need to buy thakns for the help ( jsutliek lsit the things i need to upgrade when i upgrade the motor to the 300 motor) also what company makes a good 300 motor? thaks

heres a good site what you put on it depends on what youll be doing their are stock class's mod class and super mod,check this site out towers not a real good resource for micro stuff
this has the speed 300 motor plate an some other cool stuff

this site has jus about everything elsehttp://www.microrcshop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=M

got some of the stuff for mine off of e-bay also dinball.com has this shock settup looks great but jury is still out on the performance

this is the shocks

I was also considering buying one of these. I am wondering though, is there any aftermarket parts to convert one to an off road type car. I would prefer a car with some good shocks, a little ground clearance, and some knobby tires. Or do they make a model that is off road? I realize they're small so the ground clearance would be minimal at best but I don't know if I want to buy a car that can only be run on relatively smooth surfaces and I would like to have one this size.

they dont that i know of there has been alot of folks saying they want one like that but no one has listened so far,and yes very smooth carpet is best for these

yea you could try to make it offroad but i doubt that will work that would be real cool if HPI coudl make an offraod one. so far ive made my mind up foir the RS4 Micro. im gona get a mod motor and a trinity 6 cell micro battery pack. if i get a new motor do i have to buy a new motor mount or no? if so thats ok then just wondering bc it would save me some dough if i dont have to thanks.

also the car says it comes with a 380 motor so does that mean that is better than of 300 or is it visa versa such as a 300 is better? like the lower the number the better? thanks

does any one have the Big Block motor running in thier HPI micro RS4? if so was there any problems getting it in and starting it? jsut wondering bc im prob gona get the big block motor for my micro when it get it thakns
