the 2nd last pic is a good example of max height so far, they haven’t beaten the old monster bits, yet…..:approve:

[z-beam]

could they do with some weight reduction then to get ’em flyin?

[betty.k]

it’s more a speed thing. ph2t’s would be able to get some nice air with the fast gears and motor:8ball:

[TallduDe]

its amazing how well these things go over grass.

nice shots guys :smiley16:

[ph2t]

Ok, finally finished the video….

Now if this doesn’t convince you to go out and buy a ZZ Monster Truck you should be shot….

The video is in DivX format, get the free codec from http://www.divx.com. It ain’t small comming in at 11MB, but it’s worth the d/l!!!

What kinda range are you guys getting outside? Have time to play with mine tomorrow again:D Have only had them inside so far (weather hasn’t been great as it is winter here). Have the ford and the chevy(Hulk) as well as the performance booster upgrade kit:p. imo, these are the best ZZ’s made to date.

[TallduDe]

groovy man groovy

these things kick arse. i had heaps of fun with mine in the dirt went up a slight mole hill (at that scale a mountain) and it was like a techincal challege very cool.

these are the best 1/64 i ever got!

[betty.k]

yeah, what he said! these little beasts are fantastic. i’ve run it through all terrains i can and it’s unstopable. now i got 1:64, 1:28 and 1:10 with 4wd! here’s some more vanity pics:8ball:

[merc-blue]

i dont like them.. gonna get one and do a HUGE remodel. there has to be some size improvement possible. i wanna get one dow n small enough to fit a van/bus style body on it

[z-beam]

great pic as allways betty.the tyres on it look great!

are they solid or hollow(semi pnumatic)?

how come the top pics look like totally different tyres:question:

[betty.k]

i got the tyre and wheel upgrade kit as well. the tyres are really nice, semi pneumatic and really grippy. you get 3 sets of rims (chrome, aluminium and black look) and 3 sets of tyres (semi slick, all terrain and mud):8ball:

[Impreza]

Betty, is the tire upgrade worth it? I just went with the motor and gear upgrade instead. With the orange motor and gears these puppies fly:)

[z-beam]

they sure do look worth it!

i need some for christmas dammit…

[betty.k]

they’re not essential and i doubt there’s a performance boost but you just gotta get them!:D they do feel a little softer than the stock tractor treads though.
range is no better or worse than my other micros, about 10m or so.

i’m really enjoying mine as a rock crawler at the mo, orange (fastest) motor and green (lowest) gears. and if you put a 6t pinion on it it’ll mow the lawn!:smiley2::p:8ball:

[Impreza]

Will have to switch the pinion:) Thanks for the tip.

[TallduDe]

so the pinon will give more torque will it?

im not really interested in out and out speed with these things i like the “rock crawling” feature.

i find the red gears and motor are a good combo for that, its fastish without causing flipping, just wheelies and it climbs stuff well.

have to look for a 6t pinon me thinks.

[betty.k]

i just used a regular bit pinion, just gotta make the hole a tiny bit larger. the mesh isn’t perfect but it works.:8ball:
