Yeah, but with the old stock speedo 12 is pushing it. We are running 10 min heats & 20 min mains... with a 12 tooth if you had to stop it would thermal and you were done.

I know what you mean. What about Losi pinions? LOSB1260 9t-12t

Edit: Xray 385702 9t-12t

excuse the lack of knowledge, but what difference/effect does the number of teeth have?

mikedw 09-15-2014 02:51 PM

More teeth = higher top speed, less torque........be careful of heat.
Less teeth = lower top speed, more torque

cheers mikedw :)

My TBG shell arrived in the post today, really impressed with the detail and quality considering it's third party.

I just came into some micro RS4 parts myself. I figure I will build a few for around the basement. I can also supply a few parts if anyone is looking, haha.

Pm'd What an awesome stash! With lots of flash: )

ooh interesting, willing to ship to the UK blazerss?

I finally found a genuine HPI hop-up 10t steel pinion and grub screw, on ebay australia! Won the auction so hopefully get it soon.

Finished painting my AE86 shell, I'll post pics when I get some decent ones.

blazerss 09-24-2014 07:49 PM

Yes I will ship anywhere. Actually just shipped a package of the RS4 parts to the UK last week. PM me with what you need.

Just bought the 69 RTR, was not able to find a big selection of replacement wheels or bodies, can someone direct me to a place that has aftermarket wheels and/or bodies?

Also, what are some good cheap upgrades, lipo or pinion or easy cheap stuff that increases performance. Thx

I saw aftermarket bodies (and decals) on ebay. The bodies were made by TBG, the decal by mci_racing.

designforlife 10-01-2014 04:24 AM

The TBG (team bluegroove) bodies are pretty decent. the mci decals for them are ok, but not brilliant.

Here's my AE86.

Finally found a hop-up HPI steel pinion on ebay australia...so that's on its way.

No more plans for it really, other than driving.

It has certainly piqued my interest in picking up a 1:10 car for drifting.



(can't post urls yet, so insert the http yourself

No that wont work. Its for the rc18r.. you can almost fit 2 mrs4's under it. .. Its actually a little bit shorter.. but almost twice as wide.

But hey... somebody has a Micro RS4 7615 Lamborghini Murcielago Body on eBay for $145.00!! :nod: :weird: .. Have to wait that one out.. I have a couple of those.. :lol:
