[merc-blue]

these things are pretty much a epoch.. preist tell us how it goes.. might have to get one

[Kerosene]

Hey Priest, where did you order from?

[merc-blue]

rcmart has them

[Kerosene]

$55 at rcmart.. last I looked ToyEast was only $27.90.

i got mine on special from rcfart for $39AUD i acturly wanted the orange and black 260z though they said they were out of stock “oh well” so i settled for the silver fairlady seing as that the only other choice was the old skyline anyway it should be here either monday or tuesday and i’ll try to get some pics of it in action im not expecting much i just thort this was an interesting impulse buy

[z-beam]

i could definatly use a pair of them on my two tracks i made for bits.could put some life back into all that effort of the tracks…

[Priest]

rewiew in a nutshell its a 1/43 scale mini-z. similar front steering and suspension as a z…pot and 1.0 motor 7 steps L/R

drivetrain similar setup as Z and has a h plate although its molded into the chassis and a spring suspension setup that attaches from the rear of the motor mount and then to the body itself

3cells so thats a bonus… twin fets for motor drive and steering control…7 steps forward and reverse no crystal just A/B/C channels 27mhz

the charger is a simple one and it takes 6 AAs or plug it into a power supply
the light are as bright as johnny howard but with a little play may be able to put some decent led’s in there to get some real light of them

ok first thing the instruction are not in english and i cannot translate so that made things a problem from the start but still who really reads them anyway [:)

its pretty zippy for its size and i have to master the steering on it though apart from that im acturly quite impressed by it although i have only had it for about 8hrs so time will tell to see if it survives

Well… that’s good enough for me. SOLD!

I’ll be getting one in my next order from wherever.
Thanks Priest.

coolness!:p sounds like an excellent beginning for a pretty decent racer! i’m thinking 4 cells, an iwaver pcb and something will need to be done about that “h plate” when it goes.

so how’s the body? nice detail? precise painting?:8ball:

They look pretty good, close to epoch-ish and could probably handle a few mods too.
Priest, let us know how you go with it when you have run it into a few obstacles.
