I have a HPI micro rs4 with the first version of the Motek chassis, rear ball differential, HG front locked diff, Flash esc, Losi 1200 mah battery pack, aluminum rims,stock motor...

well i went outside with my micro out on the main road in front of my house, and grabbed my little plastic bmx ramp, about a foot high and a couple feet long, just at the right angle for my micro. well I'm jumpin, landin on all fours most of the time, nose dives, etc. well on one bad landing i noticed my micro was sounding funny and on the next jump my front dogbone came out, woops. lol. but i kept going and i was getting 5-6 feet of distance and landin on all fours, not bad. i wil get some pic up the next time i do it, maby even a short vid.

That sounds like childs play. Lets see that micro flying off a house like HB. ;)

u know how long that ramp would have to be so my micro didnt bottom out? lol also i would want someone on the other side to catch it so it wouldnt smash. lol. o yea i forgot to mension, the micro slammed right into my shin, didnt hurt as bad as when my Nitro Stampede slammed into my shin... lol.

Do you have Quicktime installed? Go to apple.com and download it. It sounds like you have never seen the video. You will have a better understanding of what I was talking about.

Dude it is so happening this weekend if the wheather holds so it's funny you say that. I just had problems with my battery but I got a new one and the right charger. I am painting a new lid for it tonight as well. Wait until you see this one!:thumbup:
 
got a problem, went to run my micro the other day and the thing glitches like crazy, i checked all the connections and everything. i think i messed up the crystals in the receiver, or something.

The price you pay for being a stunt driver.
 
it was the crystals. i bought 3 sets of AM crystals while in florida for $20, pretty good deal. but i get it going and wham right into a corner of a wall, the front tire came off and i put the tire back on and tried to steer.... busted a gear in my servo... arg.
