brit_bulldog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would be interested to see how they handle on the track. If you want something cheaper These are now available. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/kyosho-mini-z-mr-03s-audi-r8-lms-white/rc-car-products/380548 That's 2wd but its a readyset with Transmitter! Been running one on the track for few weeks and it handles very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yea was tempted to get a mr03 but i wanted something to drift round the living room with so had to look at AWD alternatives and for a mini z AWD you are looking at nearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 another small update to charge the batteries youll need an adaptor for your charger such as this, i have ordered one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezpellet Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great stuff.lets hope they get more in stock soon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 the above charging adaptor works perfect for the little batteries! so thats a result also having locked the rear diff its definitely a slider now haha, gonna slow the front diff action down a touch by tightening and hopefully will allow for smoother transitions in slides. also getting some s****y tyres n wheels for drifting and some grippy race ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) you tried HW program card or lcd box on it yet? painted shell? Edited January 25, 2014 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Not as of yet.

PurcyP Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Atomic aren't really letting people know what's what but hey Ho where's the pioneering spirit lol My v2 box with the battery checker came with usb, esc cable and opto cable which is a esc plug to tiny connector that fits on top of the esc. But of course I lost that one cable I need lol The program card atomic are wanting to sell is literally a hobbywing box no sticker changes..straight hobbywing as the esc is theirs after all Edited January 25, 2014 by PurcyP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurcyP Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 yeah good, ive made a thread in the drift section of what im planning but so far nothing broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncro Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Where did you buy this? I fancy a 'mini' but the price of the kyosho's puts me right off. These look really good for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 mini z racing italy. you may struggle to find one as have been out of stock soon after release day. try EGR Racing and atomic themselves they may have a few left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look really good for the money. mini z quality no dramas like what some suffering with amz (deformed shock towers, effy servo, side clips of body hampering meshing,binding/tweeked chassis) if 2wd after then mr03s Edited February 11, 2014 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 my chassis isnt binded or tweaked. the body clips that go onto the side of the chassis need to be trimmed down so the edge doesnt push the motor in causing tight mesh, ive solved all them issues now and await my one way etc. servo has been fine and shock tower again not deformed. i did mention this in my drift project thread as they were rushing em out the door due to demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 was a chassis recieved less than a week ago with shock tower issue, just stating the quality isn't upto mini z status outta of box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 no i agree it isnt up to kyosho standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncro Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm sure overall the Kyosho is better, it's just the price makes me cringe! Get what you pay for tho I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 What would you say was a decent budget one? If you wanted to do a bit of indoor drifting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Turnigy TZ4 if you are on a minuscule budget also not sure what drive train parts will fit to make it into a proper slider. Hence why i got the AMZ as i wasnt paying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I like both chassis an shall have both at some point this year once completed ongoing projects i can source an awd cheaper than Edited February 11, 2014 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
