I'm dead set on getting the Blue 240z body that just came out from R246 to replicate the Devil Z from Wangan Midnight. Anything after that is just a hard choice lol too many bodies!!

Yup found out it helped a little, but the rolling resistance compared to my xmod is still much higher. Its tight to even push!! But its definitely not binding.

This is because of the bushings being tight when made in the factory. Even if you have brand new bearings, all clean with motor spray, your car will still stop fast due to the bushings. Adjusting throttle trim would basically mask the issue but not fix it.

Yes I found that out after I figured out how to get to the motor lol. You hit the nail on the head, I tried to just spin the motor with the gear and it doesn't want to move much. I don't know much about motors, but is one way to "break it in" to just let it run off 1 AAA battery til the battery is dead? Yeah the throttle trim helped but it didn't fix it at all. Thanks for info though its good to know
After drifting it some more today, I managed to break off another part on the front bumper LOL it was a love tap too! The front is just all cracked up and it fell off after a small tap to the wall. Its ok though, I gotta get some pics of it with scale duck tape up later too
Its definitely a drifter!
EDIT: Ok, lets just say duct tape sucks for fixing Mini-Z bodies lol. It doesn't want to stick at all, but I made it work. Not as small as I wanted but it was hard to get it any smaller or else it wouldn't stick. I tried to tape the broken piece back on too, its not very strong... Its going to fall off after one drift session i know it
And one pic of its good side
