@@juddwieser420 yeah I printed all my mini z stands i have the flat ones and also some that hold the car at an angle

@@rickyhall4079 i am not sure which mr03 rtr’s come with the narrow chassis all of the ones I have bought have all been wide chassis but the rtr’s come with the parts to change them to a narrow front end

@rickzfpv3118 ahh okay sounds good I guess I'll just have to get another chassis and do a frint end swap to narrow for it

@@roadstar499 that layout was the last club race and it works really well because we run the mini z program in the morning and then it is a quick conversion to oval to run the 1Rc oval program in the afternoon

@@roadstar499 yeah we our club track that we run on at different locations, and the local hobby shop here recently put in an indoor carpet track.

Yes, here in lee county fl there are no rc race tracks..i recently bought some 1/43 and a couple of wltoys 1/28..in last week or 2 i have definitely improved skills...i am guessing if i ever find a mini z track the skills i am getting now will be helpful .but all cars handle a bit different...i may want to get a mini z to run also in near future...

@@John-o5g8s if you are gonna run oval it is probably the best you can get in the smaller scale. We race ours on rcp tracks just like the mini z’s

@@rcchris74 these are the ones. Use they have many different styles and protocols. www.wolframrc.com/s/search?q=Mxo

@@rickyhall4079 i have not used the nexx speed shock only the pn one. Yes the diffs are fully adjustable

@rickzfpv3118 thank you so much for all the info and help! I'm super new to mini z nd this scale in general lol

@@Rcprescription mike with my Radiolink receivers i get 700 to 1000 meters and with the elrs module even further. I have tested it out to 3/4 of a mile so far. The biggest advantage to speed running is the transmitter on ELRS is only 3ms of latency

@@rickyhall4079 if you want to do the same setup as mine run the softest springs for the disk dampner, a soft T plate, and the yellow springs in the front.

@rickzfpv3118 thank you! I'll def be getting new t plates and disk damper asap. Also what are the pieces u have up front holding springs from popping out?

@@rickyhall4079 its just a little carbon fiber brace that goes across i think they are from either nexx racing or gl racing

@rickzfpv3118 ahh okay wasn't sure if there was a name to look em up by

​@rickzfpv3118 I can't seem to find the spring brace that stops em from popping. And also can u post links to them and the adjustable front knuckles?

@@rickyhall4079 ok i will try to get a video on it in the next couple days

@rickzfpv3118 awesome thank you! Love the vids to man!

@@cosmicstuff44 no problem are you looking at buying one

@@cosmicstuff44 no problem are you looking at purchasing one

@@rickzfpv3118 possibly, have been researching Noble and Futaba for future and came across the RadioMaster as another option in a FB mini-z group... right now I only have a Kyosho RTR mini-z, been making some improvements to it. Looking at possibly building an RX 1:28 and then I would need/want a better radio. I'm currently living in UK (US originally) and accessing a larger track is very difficult in my area, requires long travel. I have a small DIY home track using EVA puzzle tiles, it's small (10m) and only one tile (50cm) road width w/ squared off turns, so its rather more a technical track. It's easy to put up/take down tho, and I have been learning a lot about driving with it, as well can really see the difference various tires and other mods make. Am also weighing whether it makes any sense to build the RX and get the better radio and use it on my small DIY track, might be an interesting experiment even if I can't take advantage of the additional power and speed, the better control and cornering might be cool to witness... I am using a LapMonitor system so I can see lap time differences when I make changes and improve driving skills etc.

@@cosmicstuff44 just haven’t had a lot of time lately what do you need help with on the Radiomaster

@@rickzfpv3118 was wondering how it stacked up against the Noble and Futaba, including with the steering and throttle control.

I use the MXO evo receivers you can get them in many different protocols. I use the flysky afhds2 protocol on mine but you could also use the kyosho fhss protocol also.

@@rickzfpv3118 Thank you. So that would be MX EVO RX-FXSA. I see that they also sell MX EVO BA1, but i dont get what it's used for. Did you use it?

You can change the tires over to onroad tires thats what i do when I speed run it. Bodies would be a trial and error thing to see what fits because the arms on buggies are wider than touring car arms. For parking lot racing depending on what you want there are some good options out there. The Tamiya tt02 is probably the most popular for a spec racing car. I have a tt01 that I switch motors on so I can speed run it and use it for parking lot racing, I also have a Integy 3 racing touring car that is a belt car instead of shaft drive that i run in our parking lot 13.5 mod spec class.

Which 3d prints are you looking for

The splitter/diffuser and side extensions.

Not that I know of i am in the middle of my Mini Z racing season so i haven’t had much time for other stuff

The only way to convert it yo brushless is to convert it the an evo board there really doesn’t s no kit to do it

Yeah I will find the link for the adapters gor you the better way to go that i found though is to order the foam tires from gonebananas that is what I do. A set of 4 foam tires is about 12.00. The xray tires are more expensive and harder to find

@rickzfpv3118 yes I have the banana foams on it not. We all do, only problem is getting them when they are in stock. We ordered 12 sets for all our cars , 2 sets each. We had to wait for them to be made, and it took a while. Just thought the ones your using may be more readily available.

@@ComptonCreates if you can send me your email I can email you the file for the hub adapters. My email is on my community page if you want to send it to me directly. I am pretty sure you can still get the xray tires from amain but not sure how many they have.

Here is the link to the adapters I printed. www.thingiverse.com/thing:5429146

I water break in all my motors and no i don’t run the car in training mode. I use mine with a MT 12 transmitter, at 100% on everything at times i run my throttle at 120% for a little extra power. The car is no longer in the same configuration as it was in this video. I am running PN racing adjustable knuckles on it now and a PN racing 70 turn motor, and a jomurema GT 01 body on it with a reflex racing front clip. Car is much faster and much more consistent. In the video with the car running it was just on my practice track in my garage track is too small to run the car at full speed

Yeah came out pretty nice i am gonna try and get it out there on memorial day weekend for some passes.

@@rickzfpv3118 awesome brother!… can’t wait to see it it go!!🤜🤛

1rc-racing.com/content/900-0010-01%20-%20Rev%20A.pdf This is the instructionn manual for the esc

I don’t know if the firmware fork is still available the best option out there right now if you want to run elrs is the Radiomaster mt12 i have had one for a while now and it is the best transmitter i have ever owned

Thank you i will definitely do that. Yeah the mini z thing has been kind of addictive for me. Kyosho has worked a lot of the bugs out and they handle and drive like the bigger cars.

I am anxious to see how it does also. I finally found a spot that I think is big enough to give it a run so hopefully can get it out soon

Yeah they are my favorite right now. I will have a new video up in the next couple days hopefully. I just got my first brushless mini Z finally done.

Yes you can bind to them that is the main reason I bought my MT12 the protocol is kyosho FHSS

Thanks mike its done now just have to get the time to get out and do some passes. I am looking at a couple new spots won't be able to run it now on my street.

Mike these mini z's are so much fun I am gonna be getting into the brushless side of these mini z's in the near future.

the body is a Jomurema GT1 body

Ok thanks!

Racing the mini z's is an absolute blast. I have more fun with them than I do with my 1/10th touring cars.

@@rickzfpv3118 really? I like 1/10th best so far. It feels like I can translate alignment etc to my irl drift car. I'm not sure I could do that with a mini z. Although I feel like they run mini z by me quite often compared to rc drift, I still have not purchased one. Soon though.

@@SHREDTOKILL yeah that is kind of what got me started with the mini z’s I have 2 tracks close to me to race them on and the closest 1/10th track is 4 1/2 hours away

That's crazy, that is my situation as well. The nearest hobby town has a mini z track they set up on the regular. The nearest drift RC establishment to me would be Shadow Club in Illinois, which is about 2 hours away from me. I'd love to go down there, but I have also considered getting a store front here in milwaukee.....maybe I should just buy a mini z and go hang out at hobby town.

@@SHREDTOKILL with the mini z’s you really don’t have to do much too them the biggest class everywhere is the box stock class. 200.00 for the mini z ready set, 14.00 for a disk dampner, and 14.00 for a p/n 70 turn motor and you can run with the fastest guys

Yeah it should be able to run with you guys this time lol

I nam hoping so lol. I don't think Tamiya ever expected these cars to reach these types of speeds.
