Thanks guys! I got the Readyset for $160 which I thought was a ripper of a price and just won another BTTF body for it 😀 , which will be kept on a display shelf (just knocked off the mirror last night :gatlin: ).

Here are a few pics;

The trouble with the bodies are that they are so good, it’s hard not to wreck them or go full throttle. U need like those cheap poly-carb shells which, if they were made up, would cost ya like $5. 😛 only if ……..

But once my mate get’s his through the post, all I can say is havoc will happen!

So I guess 2 things that need to be done would be bearings and slip-diff??

Also tempted to get additional lightsets for it ….. too many ideas!!

[Admin]

ph2t,
any chance you’ll post another schematic for the slightly less experience in circuit design? maybe for 1.3 or deluxe? Just curious, Thanks.

Hey ph2t,
the nelly deluxe is by far superior. Do you know what the mystery chip is on the v2 board? I noticed the pic up top, looks like it got baked?
I haven’t bought a v2 yet, I was thinking about getting one for my new vehicle but I’ve grown quite found of my nelly.
I think the V2 uses Vishay/Siliconix chips, big but they’re supposed to be good chips, my guess is that the mystery chip is a mosfet driver…any guesses?

Keep up the good work man!

-ps how does the V2 get away with not desoldering the stock fets? Any plans for future nellys?

The shop here at ausmicro has Iwavers 02m in stock according to their site.

[Admin]

Wow man thats a great job, congrats. Can you post pics of your radio?

[Admin]

Check out my sig!!! Xmods rule well not really they are just really cheap

[Admin]

Can you post a video of your new ESC in action:D 😀

[Admin]

oh thanks for reply, do you know if the atomicmods 18awg or the 20,22awg wire will fit through the little gap on 010 that covers the pot, servo saver and others. oh and do you know what awg the stock wires are?

[Admin]

oh thanks for reply, do you know if the atomicmods 18awg or if a 20,22awg wire will fit through the part with the little gap for the wires to go through on 010 (the part that covers the pot, servo saver and others). oh and do you know what awg the stock wires are?

[Admin]

yeah i just checked their website, they have a lot but i dont have any clue which wire should be used. the wires that broke are the steering pot and the switch wires but i know where i can buy a whole new switch so my only problem is the steering pot. so what does awg mean when they say 20awg, and what does 200c mean, and what does silicon wire mean. yeah alot of questions. can someone direct me to a thin, strong, and a wire/s suggested that you would suggest.

thanks for your replies so far

[Admin]

yeah i would but i dont live in australia, i live in usa so im just trying to find a website that sells wires,

thanks for the reply

[Admin]

yeah i would get 3deg cambers but i dont have enough money also iv been thinking of a xspeed motor cuz i dont want a car that makes ot hard to drift, and about the spiders or nellys, are they any good?? iv been thinking of the board at atomicmods but not sure yet, oh and im gonna buy a metallic blue 350z as my first autoscale.

[Admin]

I liked the MR02 because evry thing was easy.Handled good,easy to tune,Just every thing was great.I Bought a FireLap 2.0,It got shipped yesterday so now im just waiting for it to arrive from HongKong.I got the red ENZO. :clap:

[Admin]

i finally updated my awd with atomic Ti dog bones, soft short springs, 0deg camber knuckles and drift tires.. more to come later

[Admin]

Crazy install (Very clean i might add) Merc can you even get traction with the brushless on that bugger!

[Admin]

hey everyone yeah i just got my mini z awd a few weeks ago, putting a spring loaded antenna and a atomic one way diff, soon to come atomic ball diff, front and rear cover and maybe titanium screws . are there any good suggestions for my next bach of parts??

[Admin]

Are all you people mini-z fans? I have an x-mod fit to kill the min-z but i have no where to race noone to race with and really no place to race i just build my car for fun. Maybe one day i will find a track and friends to race with.

[Admin]

Wow, excellent to see so much interest.

Directions…
I’ll let you get your own way to Bendigo, then
Head out of town, east down McIvor Highway,
keep going till your in the 90km/h speed zone (only a couple of KM’s to go),
Lords Raceway then Catholic College will be on your right,
On your left, look for the blue neon cross on the roof,
Turn left into the BBC (through the gates).
There is heaps of carparking, go in the main door, the function room is the right.

If you are planning on coming, please message me with your name and frequency and I’ll enter your details into ‘laps free’ before we get there.

Just a note, that it is a ‘dry’ venue.

Looking Forward to it, Pete

p.s. If you’ve got any spare bits for sale, bring them along… I’ll bring mine.

[Admin]

Can you post directions or PM me with phone number so I can get directions from you please.

Regards

Glenn

How about a rally callender!

[Admin]

I can’t wait Paul. And I see he has done the pit lane too. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Got to love your 350 as well.

PH2T:- I have run around it with 3Racing tyres and also Kyosho AWD standard fare. Although the track was pretty dusty that day, grip was still fairly good. Being dusty meant you could throw the car sideways around the corner at the end of the straight and just keep the power on.

[Admin]

So I got some stuff ordered yesterday,

3racing aluminum shocks and 30W oil
Alloy motor sinks
Minizilla alloy wheels w/ tires (hope these work, I’ve heard that they will)
mini-t center ball diff
topcad cvd’s (probably not the best but I was exceeding my current budget)
xtra nut kit

Here are the rims and tires I grabbed:

Can anyone verify if those will bolt to the mini-lst using the stock hexes ?

I also put together the 2s2p lipo pack for it last night using the Etec 700mAh 10C cells. The fit of the pack is absolutely perfect. I would say it is ideal for the size and shape of the battery tray on the mini-lst. I’ll have to take some shots of it so you guys can see. The performance from the Etecs puts the TL 1100mAh NIMH pack to shame. It’s so much more fun to drive, and still very controllable. I definately forsee a brushless setup for this truck at some point. First I will beef up the driveline and suspension a bit at a time.

ok i bought a used one over the weekend get dish wheels the stockers break and get one extra set um i would get front a arms and cf chassis and whatever breaks mostly but the rims are the most important order them immediatly !!!!!!!!!

I have been looking into wheel/tire options. I understand that these will fit,

and these tires, mmmmm…

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDU13&P=0

I have read though that I need a larger hex. Not sure yet which Hex and where to get it, or what else might be needed to run these. Extended axles ? Perhaps….

Still trying to decide.

On my list so far,

3racing aluminum shocks
HR upper lower a-arms
aftermarket CVD’s
Wheel/tire combo
Alloy motor heatsinks
7.4v li-poly

[Admin]

Yeah, I’d love to do an 11.1 li-po pack. I have a bunch of Etec 700mAh 10C cells. I have not been able to determine if the stock mini-lst electronics can handle 11.1v or not. The stock batt pack is a 9v. I was thinking of using 4 Etec cells and making a 1400mAh 2s2p pack.

[Admin]

i guess it depends what the prices are, i’m looking to build this baby from scratch. I get to know the car better and understand how it works. but at the same rate… all my upgrades/electronics and kit will cost me about 500 to 600… i’ll see.
