      Well i used to the a Tamiya mini 4wd fans so i got heaps of mini 4wd parts and i have the top of the range Plama motor but does anyone know is there any negative effect on a mini z if i put it on? i heard that u need a turbo to run it and i got a turbo because i modified my car in Hong Kong 🙂 heaps of parts and i got a turbo but i don;t know if it is right to run it. My car runs bout 35km+ with a standard motor wondering if i can put a plasma to make it faster??

      TRUST ME A MINI Z DOES NOT DO 35KM/H ON A STANDARD MOTOR, try 15-18 km/h mate!!

      I use tamiya plasma dash motors, with a 6×2 FET stack (internal Turbo) and 5 cells. It has extreme power and high top speed, my car hits 58km/h easy now!!

      As for ur turbo, it might not handle the plasma dash, as a turbo is only equivalent to a 3×2 FET stack.

      Goto The topic called ‘Mini Z Dash Motors’, that will have all the info you need.

      yeah v2 can handle plasma but only 4 cells that morot is well really fast and no real need for a 5th cell and it sucks alot of juice from the batt.
