YEEESSSSS!!!!! i am so getting the enzo body!!!

[jamiekulhanek]

VR-4, hich is only a newbie to mini z, its just stupid suggesting a newbie to get all those power upgrades first.

I agree with aaron, i think it is best to get parts in this order… NiMH batteries, ball bearings, ball diff, Carbon h plate/o plate (plastic ones break), better tyres.

It is also advisable to buy an alloy servo gear, because it is quite easy to strip a plastic/delrin one.

Once you can handle it, then its time to add a bit more power. The x speed motor is a step ip from stock, with good torque, speed and runtime.

BTW Aaron, what is the TOR kit??

[jamiekulhanek]

I have a 1/10, so dont annoy me.

[jamiekulhanek]

Have you tried a perfection 3.8/4.2 now they are fast!

[jamiekulhanek]

LOL ripoff.

[jamiekulhanek]

Thats what we do…the fets we get are the highest spec ones i think, so thats why we stack them…

Remember these fets do not have heatsinks so it is fairly limited as to what they can handle…again that is why we stack them.

[jamiekulhanek]

Yeah id come 🙂

[jamiekulhanek]

Bit Char-G’s DO BNOT have propo steering….You will find the reason why mini z’s are so expensive, is because they are very good, you will soon realise a hopped up tin car will never come close to a Z, because it is so primitive in the areas of handling and stability, as well as the control of a Z is sensational

And just as a thought – one of the guys I work with *waves down the corridor towards RingoDingo HQ* has had great success running a low buck TL-01 in the local clubs here.

He’s got the stock TL01 kit (Nissan 350Z) runs the speed tuned gear set and big pinion. Oh and a GM V4R ESC. Ball bearings ofcourse.

And that’s it – he’s beating much ‘better’ chassis and having a ball on a limited budget.

The point being that for his AU$200 plus radio gear investment he’s getting on very well. Yes he did buy the car kit for like AU$135

I don’t race any of my chassis preferred to hack around at lunchtimes with the guys or on the beach etc.

Thats cool! i really want to have a competitive car, but on a tight budget, (im only 16 for f***s sake!!!) I dont have a huge cash flow, and work kicked me off the roster for taking time off…..

[jamiekulhanek]

Thanks Aaron and Panda, you have been most helpful

[jamiekulhanek]

Yeah i did see that panda, i though it *might* have been computer engineered, but maybe not.

Thanks for the info, i am now totally unsure, i need to find out more about them all.

[jamiekulhanek]

GOD I HOPE THE ENZO BODY FITS THE OLD MINI Z!!!

[jamiekulhanek]

As i said…IT IS TOO LATE NOW :blush:

[jamiekulhanek]

Im a 16 year old dude, i dont have the cash flow for digital servos etc.

[jamiekulhanek]

Damn!! that hobby shop in perth has incredible prices, but they do not stock the model I want…..

Is it possible to buy separate shells for these cars in aussie, i am so totally obsessed by the ferarri enzo its not funny.

[jamiekulhanek]

Thanks aaron, the kit DOES not have radio gear, just the stock rs540 motor and the truly horrible mechanical speed controller.

What prices are you talking about for a TT01 KIT only?

If it is cheap enough i might be able to move up to an even better model, but I must have the ENZO, i know its a stupid thing to pick a R/C car by the shell, but love does strange things….

[jamiekulhanek]

LOL aaaaaaaaaand the winner is……..BARTO by a huge margin!!!:clown::clown:

[jamiekulhanek]

Can Mr. Threadlock find my lost wheelnut? Nope didnt think so, and i take my wheels off often, so it would be useless, and the locknuts have the plastic locker thing anyway, mine came off because god hates me.

[jamiekulhanek]

I cant wait to see what is compatible and what isnt.

ENZO BODY??? ARE YOU SERIOUS???

[jamiekulhanek]

Id love a baja…….

[jamiekulhanek]

Okay, what i want is a car that *could* be competitive, but is good value, easily maintained and durable.

I really had trouble choosing, but the TT seemed a good car from what my LHS told me, and it has the ENZO shell.

My LHS wants about 300 for the kit, is this good or bad value?

[jamiekulhanek]

It is a lot less powerful than the mini z, it has non proportional control, and there arent many hopups.

[jamiekulhanek]

range might be a problem…

[jamiekulhanek]

You can buy an AIRTRONICS RV2PS radio system, (Pistol TX, Rx, 2 servos etc) for Around 50 USD.

My brother has this set and he has never used it, i might be able to have a chat with him….Oh its 27mhz, so the mini z tx works with it, and personally i think the feel of the mini z tx is better than the airtronics one.

Oh, and panda, what class9es0 do you race in???

[jamiekulhanek]

I usecd to have one of those cars but i never hopped it up.
