Well I have my Micro setup for a week now so it is time to mod and hop-up the hell out of it. I know I have said it before but if you don't own a Micro RS4 you really need to address why you don't. I started with nitros and thought why even bother with electrics, but then Eddy (damn him, damn him straight to hell) was showing me his collection of RC's and the micro caught my eye and ever since I bought it and my off-roads are clean and put up. My micro does about 30mph and will spin the wheels almost all the way up to its top speed. I am about halfway through the foam tires I bought. Anyways I got off topic so here is the mod
A VCS shock is a 1/10 1/12 rear shock. It is made by AE and can be baught here: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX2792&P=7
Now this shock takes some deffinte modding but I'll walk you through it and its not entirely to difficult.
Here is the stock shock and rear deck before the mod.
I had to obviously cut the rear deck for the shock to clear.
I just used my lexan scissors nothing special like a dremel needed but you can use one if you must.
Next I had to cut the ball end type tow hitch on the axle carrier to screw in a bigger metal ball end as the stock one attached was to small for the cup on the shock to stay on it.
Next you need to cut 3/4 of each cup that is on either end of the VCS shock if you do not do this it will not fit.
Next you need to screw a ball end in to the back hole of the rear upper deck (note shock used to be mounted underneath deck and not its on top.
The shock looks really good and when I run with the body off I can actually see it actuating and working so its tight. The mod cost me $12.99 for the shock and .50 for the ball ends. It is a ver cheap mod as the rest of the micros stuff is more expensive than I thought. You would think it's cheaper becuase it's smaller but no such luck.
