mini z killer
so as you can see from my title i am working on a xmod that can beat or stay with a mini z on the track.
FIRST: batteries before: regular enercell 850 mah rechareables:( after:http://xmod35 |
Links no good. And please put some pics up. Its also going to take quite a bit more than batteries to hang with a z.

You should put a Z-board in it, then hack the chassis so you can put a z rear end on it... once that is good, put a Z front end on it and get an autoscale to top it off.

Then, and only then will you have a chance.:bigwink: |
It's not impossible to build a Z-killer out of Xmods mechanicals, but 1) you'll need a really hot motor to make up for the drivetrain losses, 2) you'll need THE BEST electronics you can find to even compete with the new Mini-Z MR03, and 3) you'll need to completely re-engineer the front and rear suspension, using at least a few Mini-Z AWD parts. Then you have a chance.

I have a 2.4 board in mine Ma-010 rims gpm knuckles.It works a 100 times better then a stock
|
you need to buy the front end, rear end, and middle parts of a mini-z and fit them onto your xmod along with the driveshafts and knuckles and a mini-z board and radio and hot mini-z motor llinked to a 2x2 mini-z fet stack and mini-z wheels and tires and mini-z bearings and a mini-z body. then you will keep up with a mini-z in your xmod that has essentially been replaced by a mini-z

Another thread about a Z killer..... still hope someone can make one. But if I had the money, I would say its possible, only with a Gen 1 chassis (very light weight.) If your car is an Evo though, you will have trouble reducing weight because of the battery tray, rear pod, etc. All that excess plastic is hard to get rid of on an Evo car but a Gen 1 can be stripped to bare minimum so if you can get it light weight yet stable with some nice electronics from a Mini-Z, it would be able to keep up with one. Lots of stuff go into a "Z-killer", hopefully you can do it :D |
You don't need all those parts.The evo is not that much heavier then the MA-010 if you want to race a MR-02 for get it you will never win.But a MA-010 u have a chance.My car is almost done im waiting for xxxmod to come out with the MA-010 front for the evo and my car will be done.Thats my 2 cents.

anyways, it's not cost effective trying to make a mini-z killer with an xmod. you'd end up spending more than what it takes to build a mini-z before you get it to beat one |

It can be expensive.. or at least when compared to a Z not cost effective.. But this is Xmodsource, and we love to spend rediculous amounts of $$ on our Xmods. How many times do we have to say a Z is better than an Xmod... I think we all realize that, it is kinda a mute subject. But as far as a Z killer.. with certian mods, against a stock or close to stock Z ... it can be done.. Its just a metter of. If you want to spend the $$ or not.. It is the fun of the build and a challenging impossible one is the best kind.... mod on.
