I've tested against my friend's Mini Z viper spec 1 the HPI Micro RS4 is faster and more stable. Mini Z can also only be run on very smooth surface where the Micro RS4 can run in the parking lot without having to worry about bumps scratching up the bottom since it's made of CF graphite. where the spec 1 mini z are reinforced plastic.

I want to get a spec 2 tho with the CF chassi. expensive tho.

Bro, my mini z is totally tricked out, it far from stock. It is faster then a stock Micro RS4 i owned for a month. Yes, the RS4 is much more stable outside. I never use my mini z for that, they suck outside, they just jump around and usually break.

The botton of the micro is not CF, its just graphite.

I use my Nito RS4 if i wanna use something outside, with my mods it tops out just shy of 80mph.

The small cars to me are much more fun inside then outside.

at least you know I was talking about stock vs stock Modded mini z can be very fast, but kind of takes out the fun when you are spending $150-200 on a base car already and then adding double the $$ on mods. My Micro's only with motor and battery upgrade right now...looking to make it more powerful. Probably gonna put a oversize motor in there soon and even more electric upgrades.

not a fan of Nitro cars...they are too noisy for my liking tho and expensive as well. but the Nitro RS4 with the Ford GT body looks good tho...haha

btw, if any idea how I can make the micro rs4 less prone to understeer at higher speed please do tell other than going foam tires cuz those comes with some ugly *** rims.
