HPI 1/18 Scale
Stratus Micro RS4
RC Car Action magazine voted it "2002 Car of the Year," and it isn't hard to
see why. The 1/18 scale Micro RS4 is the ultimate indoor racer, small, fast,
easily handled, and beautiful (with a wide selection of highly detailed and
realistic bodies) to boot.
almost any hard surface you can think of tile, wood, concrete, asphalt,
low-pile carpet, etc.), standard-sized electronics for race-quality steering
Ni-Cd battery, plus loads of standard features and a huge variety of
hop-up parts. The Micro RS4 is one excitingly sophisticated yet excitingly
fun little machine. It's a great way to improve your driving skills, too, as it
handles exactly like a 1/10 scale touring car!
Race it in the kitchen, race it in the garage, race it in the basement or living
room or workshop. The Micro RS4 is deceptively speedy: if you decide, in
fact, to stick in an optional modified motor, it can almost become TOO
speedy - IF such a thing is possible!
The advantage of putting a kit together yourself is that you'll get to know
your new car intimately inside and out, and experience the joy and
satisfaction that comes from building something from the ground up.
