Thanks mate . I might aswell have a holster for my glue gun. 👍😂. I'm trying to make the website easy navigating, size of car, wheelbase, type of chassis , wheels offset. So that newbies doesn't get confused. I've bought so many shells that don't fit etc.
@@GarageMiniRCUK i used to deploy a lot of online shopping carts for people but the only feature i always wanted and never got was accuracy in stock numbers. information on payment methods can also be surprisingly rare and more than once i have put through a fake order just to see what they accept
Hi, you can also buy a chassis set(for DWS) which includes longer upper and lower plates for 98mm wheelbase. I think it's a better option due to less connection points unlike the extension blocks. Thank you for making these videos. Cheers!
I ordered a MA020 AWD, took some time to decide but I kept hearing they are the best for a RTR kit just need to find a US distributor for upgrade parts
Nicely done. (New subscriber here as well as new Mini-z owner of AWD, FWD, RWD) Looking forward to your "shop". Separate from the great content, the ads are quite cumbersome. There were 14 for me, some coming just two minutes apart. I don't understand YT monetizing process or anything close to the "how" it happens, but just wanted to let you know that it's annoying (if you have anything to say about it!).
Yes I'm trying to fix it one video at a time. The plan is to have it advert free on the site and free to view with free login. Site is live but not all content up yet. Tha ks for feedback... 👍🏽😎Www.garagerc.net
I vaguely remember doing this years ago ,I only realised after the video went up, thanks I've got a photo I will add to the video once I put it on the website . Although I think this is why they changed the design on the ma030 evo awd, I think the ma020 works best at 94/90mm, especially as ma030 evo can only be front wheel drive at 90mm .
Very helpful video man thank you. One suggestion: The solid white background with the dark chassis on it: Doesn't work. Cameras can't handle that much dynamic range, it makes what you're doing on the car extremely difficult to see.
Is it possible to start with a 98mm chasis for awd and then convert to 94mm or 90mm? I want to get an r34 but I’m wondering if I could swap the bodies with an AE86 and such. Issue is that it’s 98mm and I haven’t found anything about shortening the wheel base of a 98mm to anything smaller
Does the drifting with the car at 98 mm feel any better different etc then being 90 mm thanks I have the same car you seem like the only other person I’ve found that has this set up !! Love the vids !! Thanks for the info !!
Would be nice what part numbers those are ... You mention wheels but we got no clue which offset you have used ... same with the Blocks and other parts ...
My bad.. I forgot to add to the description this website has had me kept too busy. I will add them in but quickly offset was 1.5 on the front narrow and wide 2 rear. It's supposed to be 1.5 but 2 looks better. As long as not hitting arch. I'll get a link to the parts up soon. The main one is the rear blocks and gears.
You don't always. It makes the car more predictable when drifting, and enables solid power delivery. But as I am going to do a Cs (counter steer) gear modification next then a front one way is essential to allow for the different front to rear ratios.
Depends on how you run the car and surface. I use this on RCP with drift tyres. Gives me better control. I use lighter when using rubber on RCP. It depends on how you use your throttle and braking you have to play around with it. 👍🏽
Lmao i messed up with my first mini-z buy i wanted a drifting mini-z but didnt realize that you need to get an AWD mini-z for it to drift properly so i got a RWD audi and it doesnt drift very well😂
Hot glue guns are one of my fav tools for mini-z, cant wait to see the shop when its open

We've just redone the shopping cart for this issue. It was clunky.
@@GarageMiniRCUK This 'newbie' will be much appreciative!

Yes you can. The ma030 awd has 98mm dws.
Hahaha! Everyone got a Camaro except me.
Now that's funny. Funnier that my auto correct keeps calling it a camera and I'm too jet lagged to notice.

I'm trying sort the ads issue. So that it plays just at start and end, hopefully it will get sorted.
For the side that only had one screw from the top, you need to drill a 1.6-1.7mm hole for a solid connection to the chassis.

Great video! Would you mind sharing which wheels you are using?
Very helpful video man thank you. One suggestion: The solid white background with the dark chassis on it: Doesn't work. Cameras can't handle that much dynamic range, it makes what you're doing on the car extremely difficult to see.
Yes. Ditched it and went back to my green matt. Less hassle too.
@@GarageMiniRCUK ahhh haha, that’s what I get for only watching one video from a year ago haha. Awesome channel overall too man, thank you!
Great video, thanks for making this. I notice on the rear you have tie rods, is this to adjust the rear camber? Where did you get those please?
It's he dws for ve Pro, you can still get it for the ma20. I'll find a link and add to the descriptions.
Garage RC thank you so much. I guess this saves having to buy different angle hubs? You can just adjust the tie rod to your preferred caber angle?
Yes it has a adjustable rods for camber angles.

good vid 😎 would you recommend the Mini Z drift cars over wltoys drift cars based off performance ?
Yes, they cost more but bring better performance and handling. For pure bang for buck wl toys is very good.

Depends on surface. On RCP the 90mm is better on smaller tracks. On kitchen floor I prefer 98.m m

Hi,
Kyosho MDW205 Wheelbase Extension Block(LL/98mm)MA-020
Kyosho Mini Z MDW100-04 Spur Gear Set (for Mini-Z AWD DWS)
Hi I just purchased a MINI-Z AWD MA-030 EVO Chassis Set I was wondering if the camaro shell fits on it . Thanks :)
I haven't tried it but I think it does.
Why do you need a one way differential in the front of a AWD chassis?
You don't always. It makes the car more predictable when drifting, and enables solid power delivery. But as I am going to do a Cs (counter steer) gear modification next then a front one way is essential to allow for the different front to rear ratios.
Hi where did you get the wheels and what offsets did you use?
I sell them. They are made by route 246. Offset 1 front amd 3 at rear. From memory it was 12 months ago.
What kind of grease did you use and is it for the outside or inside of the diff?
Inside I use kyosho 30, 000 diff grease outside on bearings i use wd40 or tamiya grease.
@@GarageMiniRCUK What are the effects of different weights? 30,000 looks to be on the higher end.
Depends on how you run the car and surface. I use this on RCP with drift tyres. Gives me better control. I use lighter when using rubber on RCP. It depends on how you use your throttle and braking you have to play around with it. 👍🏽
offset wide 2.0 offset wide 3.0
Lmao i messed up with my first mini-z buy i wanted a drifting mini-z but didnt realize that you need to get an AWD mini-z for it to drift properly so i got a RWD audi and it doesnt drift very well😂
I know I try to tell everyone... I'm actually taking the mini z rwds off my site. As too confusing.
