Check the whole category, they have plenty of parts.

I really can't tell by the picture.. the blow-up is smaller then the add LOL.. and no mention of 4mm bearings.

Should have steps in it like this... now where to find it????

dont touch the titanium axles they are crap.. and the balll diff that goes with it only fits it nothing else...
the ti axles are softer than stock and bend the FIRST hit they take..
The BEST axles and ball diffs are the HPI ones..
The front drives by HPI have seen about 3000 miles on my MRS4 and still are good same with the frt one way.
aluminum or aftermarket parts for MRS4's were 90% crap use genuine hpi stuff if u can get it.
it lasts longer but you gotta search pretty hard to find some of it...

I'm looking to get my Micro RS4 back up and running. I want make it a drifter. Is there anything special I need to do other than a set of tires? I want to use this at my local carpet track. Its not ozite but looks pretty darn close to it. It's some type of office type carpeting and it about 4 months old if that helps.



Thanks in advance.

You can buy the drift gear set which has a solid rear spur with NO diff and a solid plug to go in the front with NO diff that and the drift tires and ur away to the races...
not sure of part ##'s but should be googleable

Ive had this sopposed Titanium axle and its like butter one hit and its bent. Dont touch ANY gpm parts for MRS4 except the pulley IF yo can find one.

Ed Anderson 04-30-2011 02:37 PM

I've never been able to bend or break anything Ti. Been running the same GPM MHTS Ti axle for about 5 years now... while everybody else is bending stock ones. :sneaky:

I'd really like to find that setup. Know any shops that have it??

Hey everyone, I just bought a mRS4 second hand. My car came with a stock chassis and a carbon one, does anyone know what chassis set this is? Also, do they make metal diff shafts to go with the upgraded universals?

Possibly Team Orion.

IH8VTEC 05-15-2011 11:56 PM

I couldn't find any pics of the Orion.

Anybody have pics of the dual steering rod set up? Will I need anything else besides HPI73436 to use a HS81?

That's an old IPD chassis. They were made by a company out of Canada. Not in business anymore as far as I know...Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info. They must be really old, I still cant find a pic anywhere. I'm assuming I have the whole set, chassis, top plate and rear deck. Missing a couple screws, ordered replacements.

Just ordered a bunch of other stuff to get this thing running, most of it unnecessary, ball diff, purple hubs, ae rc18t front shocks. I did order a Castle sidewinder 5400kv BL setup and the steel universals. How do the plastic diff cups hold up? Does anyone make metal ones or do you just have to keep replacing the stock ones?

If anyone has a clear pic on the dual tie rod setup I'd appreciate seeing how that goes together, thanks.

Where to find tires?
 
Most of my stuff is in, tore down the old car and am starting the re build.

Anybody know where to find tires for this car that are NOT drift? Looking for rubber touring tires. Found AsiaTees website but not sure what they mean about 40/30 degree tires?

You might be able to find pics of the dual tie rod set-up in some older posts on the Your Micro Forum - not sure...It is getting harder and harder to find ANY micro parts - bodies & tires included - most everything has been discontinued or is in the process of no longer being carried by the major retail stores. Even the foam tires are hard to come by lately...
