And pics of them mounted.
So I was in my local hobby shop and I saw this body sitting in the case. I stared at it for a minute and decided I had to have it. It's definitely been used but it's in pretty good condition. It was a Subaru, of course I had to have it. And sitting next to it was this F40 which was mint except for the broken front splitter. I'll probably just sand the rest off. I almost have enough spare parts to build another car and I'm going to try 90mm so this will be perfect. Q & C welcome. |

Got some new wheels. I have always liked SQUARE wheels, but anywhere I found them they were too much. One place I found them had them on sale half price, but I still didn't buy them because they had the wrong offsets. I did look harder for the correct offsets though and finally found them. I got the wides at one place and the narrows at another.
Q & C welcome. |

Got a new car recently. It came fully optioned with 3 bodies, 5 sets of rims, 5 sets of batteries, a bunch of tires, a spare motor mount, ICS cable and a bunch of other spare parts.
But this is the really cool new thing I got. A JR Z-1. It is essentially identical to a EX-10 Helios. Q & C welcome. |

ZondaR
I should almost make a project thread for this but it may take me a while to completely finish it so I'll just post pics here. This is just a mock up to see how it will look.
I bought a mini-z a while ago and it came with a spare body mount that I didn't need so I decided to sell it. Someone I race with offered me a straight up trade for it. ZondaR body and wheels. Man I love these wheels. Yep those are 1/24 Tagus. The fronts are 22mm diameter and 11mm wide and the rears are 23.5mm diameter and 19.5mm wide. Q & C welcome. |

I was using this car. Quote:
I have a bit of extra money for my hobby and I have scored some pretty awesome deals along the way. By buying most of my stuff used I'd say I've probably only spent 1/4 what they would have cost new. |

pretty impressed with that car...now that i know it had a 70T motor in it I'm even more embarressed with my performance.
Anyhow, gonna have some new tire choices for front and rear for the next event...and hopefully a cool F1 project complete to try against Terry's Ferrari. |

So I've been very distracted by some really crappy stuff in my life but I still have been racing mini-z every 2-3 weeks. Got some new stuff to share.
Picked this up with the wheels unused for $35. Gotta love the bay. Got a couple new Subaru bodies. Practically stole these rims for $10/set. They're square inch-ups. 10 spoke 5 spoke. (And 2 new Subaru bodies.) Also got some standard diameter 18 spoke. Finally picked up a new F40 body with some goodies to make a 90mm MR-02. Q & C Welcome.

My new F40 sitting and waiting.
Actually got this beautiful 575 for free. It was originally a plain red 575GTC but a previous owner put some decals on it very tastefully. And my new 90mm MR02. I bought the 90mm mount/dps, but the rest was spare parts I already had sitting around. I recently raced this and it's awesome. Handles beautifully. Q & C welcome. |

I've wanted one of these for a while and I managed to pick this up for really cheap. I'm going to see if I can modify it for use with mini-z.
Screwing around with some new wheels. And I managed to score these. Both are limited run of 2000 but the first one I have only found this one for sale. Never saw one before and haven't seen another since. |
