I noticed that you have wide rims on front and rear, do they rub at all ?
The body looks great, but somethings missing. Not sure what, but something is. Can't wait till you make it POP and me drool. |

I never tried any Mini-Z tires so I have no idea what your talking about ! But holy wide STi, I would have assumed their 0.5W and 1.5W. But ****...
It's hard to explain, you know the feeling where you see something and you go "OMG ! That STi is awsome, how the body curves perfectly and such" Rather then "Wow, nice STi" Hope you understand what I'm trying to jab at. Maybe it's the pictures ? Or I'm just use to seeing them in blue. |
Well there was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. I can finally take my Z for a spin.

And let me say after a short spin around the house, I will be getting another one one day. |

B, if you can/want to trace a fet pad ona 2.4 board, I can sell you one I have cheap (bought it cheap to maybe try and fix it, but never ended up trying to).
As far as this AWD, get some drift tires and you're SET. |

I wasn't interested in that body, but now I want one... I love the final car with the white rims and blue nuts. Very nice.

I recently got a package with some stuff in it. This was one of the things in the package. It was used, but barely. And it came with some nice extras - bearings, cf t-plate, extra wheels/tires. I bought it off a fellow rc nut who I have bought many items from in the past. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods379.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods380.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods381.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods382.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods383.jpg Q & C welcome. |

http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods400.jpg And it's funny that I ended up buying the mr-02 because I bought this from him too thinking that one day I would modify it for a XMODS body. I have to lower it though, it sits way too high. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods384.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods385.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods386.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods387.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods388.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods389.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods390.jpg Q & C welcome. |
Well, the GT sat way too high so I cut out the front clip and shaved out about 1mm.
Before. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods410.jpg After. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods413.jpg I think the previous owner was going to convert this into a XMODS body so the side clips were already cut out so I shaved the ridges they rest on about 5mm. Before. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods411.jpg After. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods412.jpg The result...mush less wheel well gap and a more level body. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods408.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods409.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods404.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods405.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods406.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods407.jpg Q & C welcome. |
:( ??No love for the GT?? :cry:
I guess there's a slight difference with how the Z bodies and iwaver bodies mount to the chassis. The stock offset for the GT is 0N and 2W. I figured with the clearance the front was right but that I could go wider in the rear so I got these... http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods437.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods438.jpg And these to fine tune the handling a little. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods439.jpg More pics to come. Q & C welcome. |
The Ford GT is looking good sitting as it does now. Nice work!

I've gotten some stuff recently. Some new/used rims. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods458.jpg A truck load of tires. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods459.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods460.jpg Almost 200 bearings for mini-z and xmods!!! http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods461.jpg And my all time favorite wheels were finally made into alloy versions for the AWD. I bought some before Christmas but they never arrived so I got a refund and the only other places I found with them for sale were more money and the one place that had the bronze wides were twice the price. Well they dropped their prices and matched a competitors price so I got narrow and wide in bronze and silver. They aren't the perfect offset for my current Subaru, but when I get another chassis they will be perfect for my blue WRX. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods462.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods463.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods464.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods465.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods466.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods467.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods468.jpg Just a little bit of dish to them. Nice! And some new rims for my GT. I do love the team atlas wheels. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods469.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods470.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods471.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods472.jpg And last but not least. Something I've had for a while and I have a good idea of what I'm going to do with it, I just need the material and time to do it. Don't expect anything to be done for a while. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods473.jpg Q & C always welcome. |
=O more poop 'n' pee in my pantzzz!!!
wanna send me some evo bearings? :D heh that first STI is AMAZING.. looks crazy with those rims on!!!!! |

I got this for super cheap. Now I need to get some paint. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods511.jpg And I wasn't planning on buying many upgrades for my Z's, but these groups of upgrades were bidding for obscenely cheap, so I placed my bids and won 3 lots. All for about 1/4 regular price. And I'm still waiting for two more lots with about 60 upgrades total in them. Some wheels, bearings, lock nuts, and these silly wheel lights. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods506.jpg A BUNCH of knuckles. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods507.jpg Tires, springs, shims, bearings, motor mounts. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods508.jpg Diffs and gears. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods509.jpg And my favorites - PN rear mounts and Atomic SAS. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods510.jpg Q & C welcome.

(http://www.minirc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=650) It's a pretty big track and privately owned, not funded by a hobby store like I think most are. So I raced around the track a bunch and had a pretty big crash that resulted in this....... http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods515.jpg I had quickly looked in the box when I got it and saw the alloy knuckles, so I was able to replace them and keep running. I got pretty dirty racing..... http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods522.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods523.jpg So I gave it a wash. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods524.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods525.jpg All shiny and clean and ready to race again. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods526.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods527.jpg Q & C welcome. |
I got a package the other day that I've been waiting for - a fully optioned 2.4ghz mr-02. I got the entire package for much less than the cost of just the upgrades on the car.

any stockers left around?

Be sure to bring that badboy with you next weekend and we'll scuff it up good against my 430gt awd.
Consider a few things first: 1 set up some narrow front rims. You'll have way too much grip with wide fronts and you'll oversteer all over the place 2 I'm not quite sure which hardness tire you have on there but you should try medium rather than soft or super soft. Grip is much higher with AWD and soft tires force oversteer and even traction rolling. 3 bring it in a soft suspension setup. My track is "bumpy" from the driveway layout and you'll need ut to be compliant over the imperfections. Looking forward to next weekend! |
Thanks for the tips Cowboy. I've heard that a lot about wides on the front of the AWD. I just had them up front for goofing around the house. I noticed I had a lot of clearance with my +2.5 fronts and wanted to see if I could go wider up front with more offset, that's all. I'm pretty sure I can fit +3.5 up front. Normally I have atomic 20 in the rear and I think 30 in the front. I'll be sure to set it up with softer springs. I just looked up and found that the whites are pretty hard. Can't wait to do some racing this weekend.:D
|
Ryan has all the travel info so i think we're good to go...
I cant remember which offsets i have on my F430Gt (2.5 front/3.5rear?) but the fitment is real nice. Im hoping you might have a few sets of plastics to bring with you so i can tape up some new tires for different bodies. The f430 is really edgy (and so is that F360GT,btw) so Im looking at trying something like an NSX on it. We'll most likely have a couple catagories but it isnt going to be too rigid...Kirby and I mostly dial back our endpoints to match slower cars and inexperienced drivers(which there might be a couple, not sure) |
now they are some nice rides man.
i have heard about the mini z before however i dont know where to buy one so does anyone have any ideas instead of me searching the net. like which model to but or which chassis? thanks michael |

And it might look like a lot of dollars if I bought everything new and at retail, but the most expensive package was the last one (fully optioned mr-02) and it was about 1/3 or less the price of buying new. And the other upgrades I got in lots for way less than retail/ebay. Like this lot of goodies. (I paid way less than half 'retail') And I know one package is empty, that is the Kyosho front one-way diff that is already in my other AWD chassis. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods597.jpg And my newest toy. http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods579.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods580.jpg My blue Subaru finally has its own chassis. And the best part is the S2000 clip works perfect on the STI body, so when I go racing I can just switch bodies. You know, so I don't smash up the beautiful STI.:) That would make me:cry: http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods581.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods582.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods583.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods584.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods585.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods586.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods587.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods588.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods589.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods590.jpg http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/r...k/xmods591.jpg Q & C welcome. |
:o Rich boy, thats like over $2k. I would rather get something bigger with that money like a HPI Baja 5T :) Nice cars though, but I think you have more upgrades than you can use them on the few cars you have :blush:
|
he's not a boy, he's a man -.-
time to go ninja mode and go "steal" a few things lmao hopefully one day, i will be able to afford a mini-z and a subby body as smexy as urs |
Quote:
And $2k - maybe if I bought them at 'retail price', but since I only bought one AWD chassis full price, the rest I bought cheap I would say about 1/3 that price. Quote:
|
where did you buy all the rims and tires from??
can they be used on an xmod? and as for the mini-z looks like i will have to wait for them because i off the **** shipping prices from america. thanks |

As for the actual mini-z, there must be some listed on ebay uk. It seems to me that mini-z is more popular in UK than here in Canada. Just keep looking. |
