I've wanted a mini z awd for a very long time, but never got around to buying one. Today,I finally finished building my mini z awd today, and thought I'd share some pictures. It has an SP chassis kit, an AM board, and Subaru spec c body with a small lift for rally. It is sooo much fun to drive! The ground clearance is high enough for outside driving too. I think I will be driving it off-road more than my Titan!

Mirror Looks kind of wacky...Not sure if that's a defect

Congrats, they are very fun to drive around, it reminded me of my old STi. Just be careful with the drive train when driving off-road, small rocks are very easy to get to the spur/pinion gear, and could damage them.

Thanks! It's very fun, especially with the x-speed. However, when I'm using Orion 700 high output batteries, the car seems to overheat. Has this ever happened to you? It works fine with Orion 900hvs though.

make sure you got some aluminum knuckles and CVDs otherwise your going to be out of commission for awhile, those knuckles dont like wrecks.
