I Just got my hands on a New HPI RS4 3 RTR. the only problem I'm having now is that the chassis is too low to the groung. any suggestions on how to make the car rife higher from the floor. THankz
 
Spring clips do the trick nicely. :) It'll tighten up the suspension a little too. :) Should be some included with your kit... If not, you local shop should have a few :)
 
keep in mind that your chassis shouldnt ride any higher than 5mm. higher than that, and you are running the risk or rolling the car around sharp corners, as well as seriously destroying its handling. If you need to raise the car higher than that to clear road debris, then you are not driving on a smoothe enough surface anyway. Good luck, and follow the advice of the previous post for adjustment.
 
well mines low,really low,lots of scratches to prove it,but thats how I like it!!! you could raise it by shock mounting location on both the a-arms and bulkheads. go with the inside hole on the a-arm and the one closest to the bottom of the bulkhead to raise ride height!
