HPI introduced the 1/18th scale class with its ground breaking MICRO RS4 in 2002 which was awarded "Car of the year" by Radio Controlled Car Action. The Micro RS4® is the RC car for everyone! With features normally found only on larger scale RC cars the Micro RS4® is a great mix of fun and performance! Tuning options and hop-up parts will satisfy the racer, while the scale looks and ease of driving will satisfy the scale enthusiast! The entire Micro RS4® drive train rides on a full set of ball bearings for efficiency and speed. Belt driven 4-wheel drive guarantees great handling! Now the classic 1/18th scale Micro RS4® is available in new exciting versions: Sport (RTR or pre-assembled) and Drift! (RTR or pre-assembled)
RTR Sport versions feature high quality HPI electronics: TF-3 "pistol grip" transmitter, RF-3 receiver, SF-1 Servo and MC200 speedo, plus an HPI 230V wall charger and 6V 600mAh battery pack. High grip rubber tyres at the front and rear give great handling on tiles, low-pile carpet, wooden floors and asphalt. The Micro RS4 Sport handles just like its bigger touring car brothers. With full-time 4WD, front spool, rear differential, unique single-belt drive and high-grip real rubber tyres, it handles great and is truly fun to drive! Its small size means it can be run anywhere, yet it retains the capacity to fit standard-size electronics for easy compatibility with any other RC models you may already own. The Micro is easy to tune and race! Front cantilever shocks and single rear shock are easy to adjust, and many option parts exist to make the Micro Sport into the ultimate 1/18th scale racer! If you want to have loads of fun and swing out the back end, it's a simple matter of putting on some Micro Drift tyres! It's easy and fun to tune and race the Micro RS4! If you've already got radio gear and electronics, pick up the pre-assembled version of the Micro Sport – it's a factory-assembled chassis ready for your standard electronics!
