Here is the AsiaTees page I found with RS4 parts. Not sure what the front option tire is though. What is 30 degrees?

I tried looking directly at the GPM web-site, but there is little to no info or pictures there either - go figure! Normally the lower the number the softer the tire compound / the higher the number the harder the tire compound...

Post up some pics of your build when you are done - I would like to see it!

So these would be foams? I guess I'll take what I can get. Would really like to find some rubber tires.


Here is the start of my build, bought a few replacement parts on ebay and some aftermarket parts. The goal is to have the car go and look good, not race. Didn't realize the roller I bought already had a ball diff, now I have two. Waiting on an order from AsiaTees for the aluminum diff joints to go with the steel universals. That should get it ready for BL power.

It looks like they have both rubber & foam, but it is hard to tell what is what from either the GPM or the AsiaTees web-sites...All of those different colored thin foam inserts have to go into a rubber tire, but I only see a front option rubber tire listed and no rear??? It is all kind of confusing with such limited info...

On a side note - Once I started using the foam tires when they came out for the Micro - I never went back to using rubber tires again...

Good luck with your project!

I think Towerhobbies.com has rubber tires for the micro. I am in the process of rebuilding mine too and parts are getting scarse.

If anyone is interested, I just posted my Micro RS4 with 9200KV Dynamite/Mamba 25 in the for sale section. This thing has CRAZY power.

If you haven't already found this link, it is very helpfull for info on the older Micro RS4 - It even has some PDF's for option parts like the dual tie-rod set up you have been looking for...Some of the links may or may not work - keep in mind this is info for products that are going on ten years old now and likely discontinued...

Thanks for the link, checking it out now.

I have been thinking about getting one of these micros. Hows the option and replacement parts availability?

Pretty scarce. Stuff pops up on ebay here and there. If you are patient you can find what you need eventually as hobby shops sell off their old stock. Rubber tires are my biggest problem. You can buy a car in pretty good shape for about 50.00.

JustinL7294 06-22-2011 07:47 AM

yea thats what I thought, thank you. Thought of getting into the micro's was a pretty late.

GPM is branded into Hot Racing now I believe. Cup racers took over the smaller touring crowd from micro rs4.

JustinL7294 06-22-2011 11:45 AM

Yea I have seen the cup racers, I would prefer the micro size as it would be a nice little car to play with on rainy days inside.

IH8VTEC 06-22-2011 02:33 PM

If that's all you want from it you could probably pick one up cheap and run it forever on any spares you can find now. If you were racing, that's a different story.
