Well, the Traxxas Rally is also way bigger than other "rally" cars.. in general scale with these things is all over the place.

As for the cheap radios, I plan to donate any RTR RX/TX combos to my local racing program where we rent cars to newcomers. They're stuck with AM radios now, I'm sure a few 2.4s would be received nicely.

Have you owned one? I did...I was completely underwhelmed. I thought the diff design was terrible, the steering was sloppy, and I couldn't get the driveline to roll freely even after countless cleaning/rebuilds/adjustments. And don't even get me started on the wheels/tires.

The $100 Micro SCT/Rally from Losi is a better all-around platform than this, and it is even a smaller scale. For a 1/18th car, it should have oil-filled shocks, slipper clutch, and bolt-on wheels. The Micro RS4 is archaic.

Ya the scale is all over the place, they need to fix that. So, you have to compare it to a M18 which is the same size. A box stock M18 is far better than the MRS4 and I'm not using the M18 pro as a comparison. They could have at least put the set-up in to use a micro servo and get away from tape or shoe goo to hold the bigger servo in. No ball diff, no front one-way just more plastic spider gears. Comparing it to the latrax isn't fair to the MRS4. I liked my MRS4s but, they required too many upgrades and fixes to get them running good. They may sell some based on sentiment but, those will be shelf queens. If you want to race them, as Typhoon said they need a lot of work.
The quick fix for the tires is to cut the spokes from the rim or drill a hole in dish rims to access the hub screw then glue the tires to the hubs. They're just jumping on the release something old band wagon.

It appears to be new by the looks of it showcasing the new mrs4. Seems to me as any forum, it starts off from 0 then takes off. Give the release of these to the shelves and see where it goes, seeing there isn't a forum for these anymore, just a topic on other forums. :rolleyes: :p

I had a 540 big block kit in one. It was nuts.

Meh, they can't even get their apostrophe placement figured out. Very amateurish.

GUEST'S PLEASE READ

They got it right in "Guidelines and FAQs" but maybe they should read up on The Oatmeal before they try to take it big time.

Traxxas likes to make big cars. Their 1/10 are more like 1/8, and 1/16 more like 1/12-1/14 (nowadays they put 550 brushed motors in those 1/16 chassis, they run with normal 12mm 1/10 wheels - only the servo and batteries are smaller)

your on a forum that doesn't use them in their category titles either. What point are you making? Lol.

same here,got 2, good for running in the house with my kid or in a basement track
Wonder what batteries We can get to fit, was using a losi lipo rx pack but that was only 15c
What are others using>

At least this forum uses the correct form in their category title.

That's the point that I'm making, and that you completely missed it. **woosh**

It's nice that they're paying attention though, they fixed their mistakes. Gotta give them credit for that instead of coming back with a rebuttal.

Not sure what your getting at. Whatever they got looks right to me?

I hate to be "that guy", but can we keep the discussion on topic? RS4 coming back, your dreams and hopes are coming true! Now... discuss :p

Did HPI ever make Foams for this car?

They did make foams for them. Not sure they will again but, GQ still makes foams for them with a few different shore ratings.

Sorry to go OT, but can you post a link? All I found was a place in Holland. Are they sold in the States?
