I realy gotta invest in one of them peak chargers
Well since RCpics.net stoped remote linking I have changed the entry pics to ausmicro. If you need more pics of the cars just ask and I will upload them 🙂
ms char-ged I think it was more then the softwear that came with the camera.
well if its tomy (50mah) then I would say 6-7 times I keep charging till the battery gets warm

Buy the pictures thay look alot like the clones that are sole on ebay for real cheap. maybe the next toy est order will have to include one
Quote:If you want to add mini Z parts, why not buy the mini Z?I have a Z just curious on how the setup and mechanics were like. If it fits Z parts without moddin then its prolly set up the same(not quallity wise)
Quote:Fair enough statement!I understand about the whole friends thing, none of my friends ae into R/C, infact they dont even know that im into it!!
I know I am just in it to have a good time 🙂 as I am sure most people are.
Quote:Im not saying that they are crap, but i do think 512 steps is necessary, trust me it is. They wouldnt make 512 step ESCs for no reason.When we say “Hobby class” we mean things like: Kyosho, Tamiya, HPI, Team Losi, Traxxas etc. Radio shack aint in that group.
Any what makes you think you have more fun with ur cars than me?? :):smiley2:
I think they are hobby class, a lower class but still hobby class.
Well maybe you have as much fun as me with your cars but I know you dont have more 🙂 I will say this I have fun with my cars everyday (at work out at the mall, with my wife,kids,friends, at the bar). Everywere I go I have a bit or zip in the pocket and a larger scale in the trunk(junt incase). And I know you never said they are crap but other have and thats were some of my comments were directed.
As for the 512 steps again it comes down to why do you need it? I know its bettter and thats why they make it but if you are racing for fun then you dont need it.
Bottom line is personal preferance. I have a Z and I dont hate it I just wish some of the parts were cheaper as I just use it for fun not for competition racing or anything. If I had to choose I would take 2 xmods(stock) over 1 z only cause alot of my friends dont wanna dish out the cash for a Z but they would dish out the 50 bucks for a xmod.
As for Z’s being 90 bucks well not around here. I am in canada and the local hobby shop sells them for 229CDN. I ordered mine off ebay for 110.00US but see them go for 120+ depending on what one it is.
I disagree I think although its nice to have 512 steps you dont “NEED” it.
And I bet I have more fun with my se’s and other “Toys” then you have with your cars 🙂
See you guys keep saying “Hobby” but I dont think you understand the word. Hobby is something that gives you pleasure may it be a mini z or xmod someones hobby is there hobby. You can’t put a price on a hobby and say cause you have to spend 50 instead of 5 bucks to replace something, example: I also collect reptiles. Now if one of my chondros die I have to buy a new one does this means its not a hobby?
What really gets me is the people that just complain and trash talk about other products just cause they dont like them and please dont say its cause the product sucks cause thats bull. what sucks to you is all someone else needs to have a great time 🙂
So are they hobby class yes, why cause I have fun with them. And I bet if you and I got together ( you with your z and me xmod) we would have fun regardless cause hey I am a fun loving guy who just likes a good time 🙂
BTW if you can get epochs for 30 bones (spec 2) I will take a few of those 😀

Now was this only on ebay in oz? cause I notice that there is alot of stuff on ebay.com
Also if you really want to sell the stuff on ebay just mention in your description that its part of a personal collection and that will get you around any crap that tomy tried to toss your way. 👿
Can you fit normal Z parts on them?
Micro Amps have you takin one of the SBCG TX’s apart to see were the connections are going?
Well heres a link (not sure if these are the ones you are talking about)
LXX mini z clone
http://www.toyeast.com/productimage/AC33072a.jpg%5B/img
nothing yet but the pullbacks and alloys provide the best traction that I have noticed. I also find it easyer to mount the Super pullback tires as opposed to the regular gen 1 pullbacks
not sure dude I know they aint gonna hit Canadian shelves anytime soon.
Having then shiped up from the states
I remember when I was a kid they had those cars like that called “record Breakers” and you could change all the parts and whatnot. You then could get track for them to race on. Will have to see if they are still in the parents basement 😀
What peak charger are you using for your cars?

Quote:No, they are not propo, only 16 steps, pretty lame compared to the Z’s 512.Well for one do you really need 512 steps? second you are a ZZ and xmod hater anyway. Do you own a xmod?
Quote:And it takes $100 for an Xmod and the options it needs to keep up with a stock Mini-Z, for which price you can get a Z. Like the SE, the XM is a bit of a disapointment.Xmod
Starter kits are 49.99
awd is 14.99
stage 2 mtr is 15.99
Total=$80.97 + taxMini Z
129.99 and up plus tax.
So I am beating the stock Z’s and saving about 50 bucks. Would you care to share how much you have spent on your mini Z?
Quote:That said, a 99km/h motored tin racer can beat a Mini-Z, but that certainly don’t make it a better car.I never said it was a bettter car but for teh price and depending on what your plans are it might be a better buy then a Z.
Quote:Certainly not ‘hobby quality’.Why is it not a hobby class car?

yes they do 🙂
no real problems they are better the the super bits I think. My main complaint is how high the se bodies sit on teh chassie and the poor run times.

Well if you take your stock mini z ($100 usd) and spend another 100usd into it then yes its a better car.
If you take your stock xmod($50USD) and add another 50 buck into it and clean house on some mini Z with only a few hopups (50 bucks worth) then I will spend the 100 over the Z’s 150.
I have a Z now and really I dont get much use out of it anymore so what I have is a very expensve model car on the shelf(really its packed away).
I am not saying that Z’s aren’t better but if you are racing for fun and just to have fun then they are not for everyone. If I can compete with the lower class Z’s(less hop ups) for less then buying a z then I will.
thats all in no way was I dissin the Z’s. Plus you have to remember alot of teh mini Z guys that are givin opinions on the xmods had thre minds made up before they came out cause RS sells them they are a toy to these guys.
Also I would have to say that for the most part racing is made of 80% driving 20% car performance (to an extent of course).
My buddy toook his to the Mini Z track by him and spanked some of them mini z guys ina few races.
Dont let the price and the fact that they are sold at RS fool you these are hobby class cars with lots of hopups and speed 🙂
OK cool well keep us posted on any new findings that come up
PS. you got pics of the plane yet? That sounds very interesting 🙂
