Need to get a vid of it killing a mini-z. lol

still the stock chassis? you could have at least shed a little weight off of it by removing the top cover, unless you are just trying to perfect the suspension and keep the rest of it as stock as possible

Bosco - have you noticed a reduction in the turning radius with the MA-01 board conversion? I converted an Xmod (Evo) over to an 01 IWavier board not too long ago and noticed wider turning radius - just curious.

Nice job on your conversion BTW - Xmods are an absolute blast with hobby-grade electronics!

Thanks!

Looks great!

If your not going to reduce the weight you should at least go for a quick motor to get the weight moving.

Where did you get the board from?

[bosco72]

I have a Mini z MA-010 board in mine.When i had a traxxas controller the turns where nice but i sold that one and now i use a HPI one and it's not turning as good.So im going back to a traxxas one.For the chassis i left stock because i wanted stock with a better board in it.After stacking fets i'll get a faster motor for now im going with a PN AWD stock motor.

By adding the mini z board in it u get a better response in everything u will see and feel it.

Thanks for the info, Bosco! I will have to experiment with different controllers ; - )

Update fixed the sloppy steering.All i did was take off the plate that goes over the steering rod and sanded the middle till it was almost gone then sanded the side humps and kept test fitting.When i use to flip the car over and let the wheels spin the fronts would go left and right.Now they don't even move.For the front wheel wobble i used GPM knuckles bought wider bearings then took 1 white washer from the gpm knuckle and sand that thiner and kept test fitting.I have no play at all at the wheels.

You should paint it pearl white IMO.

I put the 370Z body on it

another update ordered Black GPM front & rear shock towers only front came in so far.Also bought the set of MA-010 wheels and bought a brand new 2.4 MA-010 board for it.All i have to do is buy the 2.4 radio and a BB motor.Also dyed the rear motor mount black....This car is so smooth it's amazing how a xmod can work if you take it apart and sand down and put together the rite way.new pics

[bosco72]

2.4 board have to put it in and waite for my 2.4 radio to come in

[xmodsNSX94]

[bosco72]
