Gen1 Nissan GTR Gen1 Yellow to Black by "targetingxmod"
 
Yellow X-mod Car GEN1 new from Portugal!

I got myself this "present" for the next project!

-In the box!

-Inside the box!

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...3112010795.jpg
-Getting out!

And now gona start thinking where to find upgrades... as they are rare this days!

First impression:
-It's a evolution toy, not a real RC car. But aftermarket itens surprass that! :)
-It's loud when playing!
-Very poor steering angle!
-It's got an abosulte potencial for upgrades!

You all know that...

That's it for now!

Nice, are euro xmods easy to come by? Also I have a question about mini z boards, you know alot, how many volts can a mr02 board handle?(not lipo, nihm)

I don't know all, but i know something...

so miniz pcb's...

-AM 27mhz , handle 7.4v 2s li-po! Safe! On the long run, you should get some potenciometer's because the high voltage screw them faster! But it takes more than a couple of years! :)

-2,4ghz boards.... hum... li-fe power 6.6v are made for 2.4ghz miniz pcb. More volts? never tried.... but saw on youtube an miniz buggy with 7.4v 2s li-pos :) don't know how much time it will work... but i guess it will not blow on the first charge :)

hope that helps...

Thanks for the response but when I use a 7.4 volt lipo on my am board it shuts down but when put the aaas back in its fine. Do you know why?

-Then i GET out "again" the pinion with a pinion puller...
-And puted the pinion on a new racing motor .... by hand, it was very hard, but doable...
