A little story to go with it.
I was looking around the shop for an OL. The guy suggested a MZM. But it wasout of my budget. So he showed me this one, it was a used truck. He said 230 and I was like WTF? A new one is for 200. I took a look at it anyway. After putting in batteries, it wouldn't turn. Another customer walks in, so he says, open it up and check the problem yourself, I open it up and the servo wires were ripped. I quickly put it back together and told him it could be fixed but it would need new wires and a lot of soldering. So he drops the price to 200. I still disagree. By now the guy was really ****ed, I had spent an hour in the shop and bought nothing:lol:
So i said give me some upgrades and 200 last. And he Agreed!

I got,
X-Speed motor
Alloy rims
Kyosho tires
Some 3Racing alloy

One hellova deal. ;)

I have found the perfect place and time to take pics of my cars.

Well, got some drifting tires for my AWD.
They are not like normal ATM ones. These ones have a tread on them. And they are narrow up front and wide in the rear.
Hopefully you can see the treads:

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07334.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07335.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07336.jpg
Mounted:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07338.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07339.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07340.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07341.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07351.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07352.jpg
Also painted them silver:

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07371.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07372.jpg
I changed the rims to 0 offset rear and +2 front:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07373.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07374.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07375.jpg
Now the rims are flush with the body:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07332.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07331.jpg

Oh, and It on the dyno. a stock AWD does 27.Impressive...:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...Z/DSC07326.jpg

And if I'm right, the batteries wern't even fully charged...:)

Do you already tested the new tires?
Are they made of plastic like the ATM/Kyosho drifting tires?

As far as I know the GPMs are and only difference is that rigid texture.

Stampedekid 10-11-2009 01:22 PM

Very nice Tim! I love the look of the Nismo S Tune, would love to pick one up for my MR-02

yeah, they are much better than the AM tires. They are plastic.

yup, i think these are GPM ones. They are also easily removable unlike AM's tires.

Chassis looks like it went through $hit:

:D
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...M/P1000571.jpg


All in all, the MZM is an amazing truck to buy.
The suspension design is just sick.
Although it has a few flaws...

Such as,
1) It's 2WD
This has to be the biggest flw in the chassis. It gets hung up so incredibly easily it's astounding. A video would clear this up.
2) http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...M/P1000572.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...M/P1000573.jpg
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...M/P1000577.jpg

You guys see the that under the left wheel?
Well, because of that, it gets stuck pretty easily,
here's an example:

See what I mean?

More later.
