Here’s a few pix of My Z’s Together…. You will see in the first pic here that there is also another Z (Black GT3) but this is now just a rolla as the PCB died(servo side) and it’s onlyanLXX so no point in fixing !!!

Let me know what you guys think of myZ’s !!!!!!
Next is my Pro-Z, It’s A D2 Silver Merc. The chassis is a Pro-Z Pocket Knife version 5 Team car in Blue carbon fiber. The carbon is a little thicker then the standard ver 5 and of cause it’s Blue !!. It’s got a PN Racing motor mount, Ball Diff, full Ball Bearings, PN speedy Modified Motor, Alloy wheel nuts,Rear side shocks, Rear Center shock (part of the Diamondplate),3deg castor, red springs in the front. I’m running an IWaver 02 PCBwith a LXX MR01servo case, Yeah Racing POT in the servoand Deans micro plug for the battery pack.The pack is a 750mAh Ni-MH Saddle pack… I’ve been thinking of running full aftermarket electronics but I think that takes it to far away from being a Mini-Z… I also have not speed checked this yet..

Next is My Kyosho MR01 That I built from hopups. It’s aBlue Nissan Skyline GTR R34and there is no point in listing the hopups as I would have to list every part of the car as I built it completely from hopups, It didn’t start as an RTR !!! One thing you cant see is a 5×2 Fet stack and the motor is a Kyosho Xspeed rotor (50turn)and magnets in a Yeah racing BB motor can with high carbon brushes running a 14t pinion.I get 50k’s onthe Speed Checker With fresh 800mAh Ni-MH batteries then 48k’s after about 10sec of full throttle it stays there till the batteries die off.. It’s a mad Z to run and it handles awesome !!!! I also have a Mini Z Workshop motor for this it’s a 35turn rotor, high carbon brushes, Yeah Racing bb Motor can andGold Neo Magnets… Haven’tspeed checked this yet but it’s crazzy fast !!!

They both look sweet !!!!!
Why cant you get the cover lower, is it because of the rear shock ???
What speeds are you getting out of the one withthe VSM installed ???
Whats the damage on the XRS esc ??
Thanks for the comments guys !!!
I’m looking for a small ESC (Novak Spy!!!) at the moment !!! as I was using my Quantum Comp ESC on it but is was a bit of over kill so I sold it with my Corally C4.1 a few months ago..
And yeah Adam post up some pix of your HPI’s I was going to get a micro but saw the M18 stock kit and couldn’t resist then saw all the hopups and couldn’t resist them either !!!
I second that !!!
Heres a pic of the Iwaver alloy wheels. They look sweet !!!! Excellent quality too…
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/RCS2DIE4/My%20Monster/P1000531.jpg
Also, heres a linkto a video ofa prototype of the new 02 It’s got an awesome turning circle !!!! I think even the proto looks cool….
An update on my monster !!!
As standard the truck wouldnot lift the front wheels at all !!!Ithen put in a PN SpeedyModified Practice Motor. Thiswould lift the front wheels on carpetif I wentreverse then forwards,butIhad to get abit of speed up in reverse to do it !!!! it still would not do it on anything other then carpet ….
So I took the rotor and brushers out of the PN motor (52t ??)and put them in a Yeah Racing BB motor can with some Gold Neo magnets from MZ Workshopand still using the standard 10t pinion (the others that come in the kit don’t mesh right?) it now has more speed and alot more torque, it will now lift the front wheels on any surfacevery easy, with a little jab of reverse then stick it…. It lifts the front wheels that hard that it hits the wheelie bar and then lifts the rear wheels off the ground too… While the rear wheels are off the ground they spool up a bit then the truck launches riding the wheelie bar for about 2 meters on smooth surface and a bit over a meter on carpet (bumpy), It’s COOL !!!
Next will be the FET’s from Aaron then my custom motor from MZ workshop, It will then be able to lift the front wheels on demandwithout having to go in reverse first, hopfully even on the fly !!!!! Till then …….
I used them at first too, but one did come out after a slight mishap and wouldn’t catch the threads anymore… So I changed them all to longer ones, hopefully it wont happen again.. Both thescrew coming out and me hitting the door frame !!!
Looks great Aaron !!!
Question for you !! The two little screws that come with each shock mount, were they long enough to mount the shocks correctly ??mine were only about 2 or 3threads longer then the thickness of the shock at the top so I had to change them !!!
PIX PIX I want PIX !!!!
Hey Aaron, you got any pix of the monster yet !!!! I’m Hanging !!!
I didn’t think itdid !!!! butthats cool….
Hey PeteWah here’s thespecs of my Pro-Z
* It’s a Pro-ZV5 Team car in Blue carbon fiber with nerf barsand front bumper.
* PN Racing motor mount.
* PN Speedy practice modified motor with 8t pinion.
* Adjustable ball Diff.
*Full ball bearings.
* 0deg camber, 2deg toe-in,3deg Castor.
* Long rear diamond bar with center shock.
* Rear side shocks (only fits with PN motor mount).
* 750mAh AAA’s.
* Iwaver 02 main board with MR01 servo setup.
And heres some links to some pix.. As you can seeI’ve removed the servo case
at the moment asI was using an iwaver one but dont like it so im looking for a true

Ok cool, I didn’t now that !!! I thought it was only the IW 04 TX that had it…
Thanks for the reply !!
I assume you meant the IW 04 TX gives you brakes an not the FireLap TX !!!
The no brake thing is cool asafterI have hopped the rest of the truck up will more
then likely buy a true kyosho board for it anyway…. With my mars EX-1 TXI can simulate
ABS braking anywaywhich is howI have setup my MR01.I do this by turning the end point for
reverse down to a point where it only just reverses, thenIsetupthe ABS function so it pulses
the reverse in little quick blerts which make the car slow down without goinginto reverse
andalso so it doesn’t lock thewheels upeither… I alsoassign the ABSto a button so I can
turn it off incaseI need togo backwards !!!!
