      baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea. but if your looking for 1 i got 1 for ya cuz its a p.o.s. pm me for all the parts. theres not a stock part on it and i got all the stock parts “a whole stcok car less eclctronics” it has the orion big block motor for the hpi’s and has a custom motor pod. th big black has 30,000 rpm’s and is the fastest moter for mini car’s. but if you buy a new 1 lemme tell you how ta set it up outher than that k mart rc car will smoke ya and handle better.

      I’ve had a mini-z for about over a year now and am thinking of going the other way and getting a bit.

      In stock form, they are about as good as any other of its kind. To a certain degree, it is nice that there are so many hop ups for it.

      I’m running it on in my apartment on the carpet and before I moved even had a nice little jump platform for it. (Don’t think I’ll be able to run any bits on carpet) I’ve also run it outside on a nice big chunk of basketball courts.

      The main problem I have with it is the expense (in purchasing 1 and all the hop ups) and the lack of people with it. Most of my friends either went the petrol way or the bit way.

      Anyways, I have an original Lancer Evo which I have upgraded with a few hop ups and a white MR-S shell with a carbon hood.

      Bit thing about them is depending on the shell, the engine position might not be conducive to a good handling car. (I think the Mini might have an upright engine making the centre of gravity relatively high)

      Aesch 🙂

      Can’t miss Hobbyco. It’s upstairs from the big HMV in Pitt Street mall. 🙂

      I don’t know if they are the cheapest place to get them or not, but they were the few places that had them when I bought mine…

      Bah! Go to HLJ.com

      They sell them cheaper and don’t increase their price every month… I bought my Mini Z from Hobbico Sydney then I realised how expensive and unhelpful they were compared to internet shops.

      Look around people these people rip you off on Mini Z parts… seriously..

      Good place for Mini Z parts and racers is ToyEast.com as well.

      I’m in Sydney with my Bro… Chatswood/Carlingford area… looking to race anyone who’s willing… Stock motor, upgraded shocks and bang up bodies from Mini Z tag… and light sets for night driving ROCK!!!! Got all my spares and accessories form Toyeast. I suggest you guys follow suit 😉

      Kind Regards,

      Jeremy

      Just buy the cheapest ‘ReadySet’ you can find, Dan – don’t worry about the body. You can get spare bodies very cheaply from about A$20 and if you’re gonna run the thing, you’ll be buying spare bodies pretty quickly too.
