My Mini-z Collection
 

I'll just start this thread off with my Newly rebuilt MR010 AWD Mini-Z. This one is my Jewel in my collection of Z's at the moment:

This is how I got it from Fleebay:

Upgrades then:
clear black chassis
Atomic Stock R motor
AD board with 3X2 Stacked FETS and 2X2 Stacked FETS for steering
Full set of Metal Bearings
PN Ext. Kit (98mm wheelbase)
Laid down crytal mount
Plus a full set of Orange PN Wheels with different offsets
It also came with a beat up Enzo body (Not pitured 'cuase it was too damaged to do anything with)

It came pretty much like that with the upgrades listed(minus the rims and tires) but I went ahead and Ugraded it even more :D

Here she is now:

New upgrades now:
Kyosho SP color chassis set (gray/blue)
Kyosho Stock front diff.
Atomic SAS Pro Kit
3Racing Alu. ball diff (shaft ver. 2.0) (rear only)
3Racing Alu. Toe in/out linkage 0 degrees (blue)
Atomic AWD centre drive spur gear (94mm/27T)
Atomic SSG composite bulkhead
3Racing Alu. Swing shaft (blue)
Atomic Alu. Motor heat sink (blue)
Altomic Alu. Motor Mount pieces (blue)
Atomic Alu. Front Bumper
3Racing 2mm lock nuts (blue)
3Racing Alu. knuckles 0 degrees (blue)
Atomic Drift tires fitted on Alu. ADVAN rims
3Racing V pattern Tires 10 Degree tires fitted on Kyosho alu. spoke rims

That's about all the goodies I put into this baby and I love it so far.
Btw, this was the most challenging chassis switch that I've ever done before - so many pieces :shock:. the end result was nice though.

wow, nice ride you got there! i like the 6 spoke rims on it best. also nice little garage stuff.

**** thats a sexy Skyline! IMO the 10 spokes look better. Gives it that Skyline agressive look to it. I dont know where all those parts go, or what they are. But I know they help. I wonder where your S15 is...:roll: Post up the rest of your collection!

Since it's a collection I believe it would be better suited in the Members RC Garages section rather than General. Hope you don't mind the move. ;)

Glad to see you dipping into the MiniZ scene, X! :D

that nissan is really nice

as much as i like xmods mini-z are just better quality. hope the new xmods are good. btw that is so cool

Looks great, did you paint the windows or did you get it like that?

I have a question how much does a mini z run??

Depends what you want, but it runs from $100+. Upgrades get expensive. Your better off sticking with Xmods. Theres a lot to learn about Mini-Z's and how to handle them.

Thanks dude!

LOL - I'm posting the other pics right now:D

Thanks Donzi, I don't mind the move. I've been getting into mini-z slowly but it's too expensive to really expand it too much :bigwink:

Thanks guys! Mini-z's are higher quality hobby rc so that's what you're paying for compared to a Xmod which is just a regular rc.

Thanks, and the windows came like that (they are transperant btw)

Thanks for answering that for me bro.;)

Here's the rest of my Z collection for now: (3 MR-01's, 2 MR-015's, 1 iWaver, and a bunch of Autoscale bodies):

Thats all for now :)

nice Z collection:D

:o Awsome collection man! Loving the SLR and 360 Modena the most! But not more then the S15 of course:D Great collection! How much do you think you have in this?

nice Caprice!

Wow....

Beautiful collection. The NISMO S15 Silvia looks awesome.

This thread has confirmed it - I'm saving up for a MINI-Z. :o

Thanks dude!

LOL - if you have to ask then you can't afford it - J/K dude!:p I think it's pretty much under $1000 or close to it :roll_eye: .

Thanks guys! Mini-z's are nice but I would suggest to buy them one at a time otherwise you'll feel a hefty kick in the wallet if you go out buying them by the bunch - Well, Unless you can afford it then you can just ingore THIS lil' advise :bigwink: (EDIT: Just had to re-word this correctly ;) )

wow got a lot bodies there... i love the caprice cop car dam i want one of those hard to find tho... i love the silvia too beautiful collection!

Thanks dude! I love the S15 Silvia alot too:mushy: . I'm still looking to add atleast 2 more to my collection - a MR-02 and another MR010 - mostly likely to be racer also.:nod:

YOU GOT THE SUPRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Ive been looking everywhere for it! im trying to avoid buying it online. And that s15 so sexy. You have any body you wanna sell/trade ;)

The supra is more like a beater body - it didn't have any windows so i had to make them myself -lol. The S15 is nice but the only thing I don;t like is that there's not place to put lights :nodno: -otherwise it's great.

Here's the 2 latest addition to my collection:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/P8140003.jpg

I also have my first MR-02 coming in the mail soon - I got it from Ebay for $73 shipped :)

That supra is a beater? Any chance on tradeing it or selling it? :bigwink:

Someone already put dibs on it incase I decide to sell it but i'll keep you in mind also. :nod:

Nice to see your still around, you need to do more bodies.
Nice list of upgrades. Costs a bit too much to mod a Mini-Z (I'm sitting on a MR-02)... But seriously, no MR-02's for you? Fun little car, and it can almost drift....

Oh, i'm around but i'm like a tiger in the bushes waiting for my next kill ( "kill" being project :bigwink:) :lol:.

I just bought a MR02 - still waiting for it to come in the mail. I have a Firelap one (I think I made a mistake in my first post and posted iwaver:-? ), but it's pretty much the same except for the quality :bigwink: .

i'll post pics of the MR02 when I get it :nod:

Never knew that they made S15's.

These just came out about a month or so I think that's why you haven't seen hem around too much.

I just got my first MR-02 yesterday:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/P8160007.jpg

I love the Enzo body but i'll be transplanting the mirrors from my Firelap Enzo body to the mini-z's - The mirrors on the Firelap's are rubber so it will be able to withstand impact without breaking out of the Mini-z shell. I'll post a pic when i'm done with that little modification.

Here's the upgrades that i'll adding for now:

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/P8160013.jpg

1* alu Knuckles
Metal lug nuts (blue)
Kyosho Diff.
Yellow front suspension Springs w/ 4* limitors
Shape-memory antenna
Metal ball bearings
Atomic motor cooling fan system
Mini-Z X-speed V motor
Kyosho Oil rear shock


That's all for now but hopefully i'll add some more stuff later.

Now you'll have to race it! If you are get a pan body+conversion.

Lookin great, love your collection.

You had a MR-01 right? You wouldnt happen to have any upgrades for it ?

Thanks bro! To be honest with you - I hate the look of the pan bodies - idk why but I preffer the more autobodies over those anyday :bigwink:

I have 3 Mr-01's (4 actually but one's been MIA with someone for about a yr now :nodno: ). I have a few upgrades for MR-01 but I haven't taken time to install them yet, hopefully i'll get to do one next so that I can have 3 different series racers :nod:

What upgrades are they? ive looked all over ebay and atomic mods and cant find crap......is there a certant website you go to? and if there is can u PM me the link?

Well, atm I only have a Alu. steering link, rear oil shock, rear spring shock set-up, and 3* plastic knuckles with stainless steel pins. I don't have much since they don't make them for the MR-01 anymore - the MR-015 is the latest version of that so you'll find more of that instead (note: MR-015 upgrades doesn't work on MR-01's) The one that is missing from my collection at the moment is a fully upgraded MR-01 - i'm not sure if i'm ever getting it back but i'm not calling it a lost just yet ;) .

Where'd you get those rims on the R34? The Work Emotion Kai's?

I got them from a Japanese Ebay seller - they're made by Kyosho but I can't find anymore of them and i've been looking out for awhile now.

:cry: so i guess its only gonna be motor and tire upgrades then..i Dont gotta do a FET upgrade for the xspeed motor do i?

I don't think you need FEt upgrade for that - I have one on my MR-02 right now (pics below).

Here's the MR-02 chassis upgraded now:

Thanks for looking guys!

all the motors that are made for RCs by the company that made it dont need FET upgrades. EX the stage 2 motor and Xmods.

Just had one more to add to my collection for now ;)

Thanks for watching guys!
