There was some mod somewhere to mount your mirrors with elastics, so they bounce back. Would that help?

Can you drill a tiny hole and then superglue a piece of wire and then thread it through the body?? That way it can be bent back into place.. I was thinking of doing it to my MR-S but havent found it as yet…

the mirrors on the mrs comes on stalks. I was going to use a small drill to drill through the body into the mirror stalks (where the mirror initially was connected to), superglue a piece of wire in the mirror part and push through the body. That was then the mirror hits something harder with more weight, it just fold in rotating on the wire axis.
I read about it on http://www.mini-zracer.com last year sometime but havent tried it. My other body is the Lancer which has the mirrors connected solidly to the body…
Hope this helps… SOon as I find my Zs, I’ll grab some pics and see if I can photoshop it or not…

you guys dont seem to understand how much faster the car actually is, you lightly press on the throttle and the car goes flying, it takes about 80cm for the car to actually come to a halt when the thottle has been depresed, where as before the car would just pull up within about 30cm, and driving in a bedroom without any traction and metal Tv stands and stuff in the way its a bit hard to keep your car straight and un damaged.

camber provides more traction when the car shifts weight in corners…high camber is good for drift because the inside wheel “rights” itself when the car rolls (not literally) and more of the tyres surface is in contact with the ground…
This is my knowledge from real cars but it should apply to zs aswell….

Alloys are wider hence wider tyres more grip faster cornering less spins…………get the drift?

February 22, 2003 at 5:26 pm #45200
faster cornering can lead to bigger drift 🙂

What glue are you using?
Araldite might be too stiff and won’t stick well to flexy plastic.Maybe try some “Airfix” glue (which melts & welds the plastic) and reinforce the corners with Shoe Goo. Maybe reinforce it with bits of creditcard too… :blush:
