Yep, I do love alloy, especially wheels.

Haven't posted anything for a while cause I've been pretty busy. But I did win some stuff a while back, including some alloy rims that I always liked the look of but wasn't ever going to spend $30 on them. I won them for $5.






Q & C always welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

You never know what good deals you'll get from that auction site.


Including this good deal.







Wheels are wrong offset, but I just threw it on the chassis for pics.


Q & C welcome.

[Songha]

About how much did you get as a total for you first kit, everything just to get it to run. I so want one. :3 Such a nice collection.

[xmodcanuck]

So I was goofing around with some wheels and tried these out.




But these are really what belong with this body.




Q & C welcome.

Q & C welcome.

Those rims look perfect

All kidding aside, the actual rims look good, its clean and fits the car well. But the body could use a slight drop !

[DRFTKO]

Wow! The second (chrome) set of wheels look amazing! I take it you made those yourself?

Thanks man. The wheels are easily available and not that expensive. You should get a set.

So I have had a couple white bodies for a while now and not really had the time to do anything with them. Well I have purchased all the paint I will need for them and have finally got the clips mounted on the Enzo. After the holidays it'll be the first body I've ever sprayed. I have 2 other Enzo bodies and they were both missing mirrors when I got them. Racing incidents probably. Since I will be racing this body when it's painted I decided to shave the mirrors before paint. I was happy with the results - it's like they were never there.

I realized I never took pics of my 90mm WRX chassis. It's very blue under that Subaru.






Q & C welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

So recently I was talking to my dealer about something and he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. My dealer is someone I've bought xmods and mini-z stuff from many times. What we were originally discussing shall remain unknown for now but he offered up a race ready 02 chassis for insanely cheap, so I bought it.

2007 Honda Takata Dome NSX

It came with alloy knuckles, upper arms, SS kingpins, SS screws throughout, silver PN DDS, silver PN v2 94-98mm mount, Reflex silver WTF v2, 2.0* camber, purple springs, ball diff with PN 64 pitch gearing and v1 PN 70T stock motor and bearings.












And he says my other chassis needs an ATM DPS and some more blue alloy bits so he throws some into the package. It's funny because I just had a track day and my Enzo was having problems reversing so I switched to my other chassis which I just changed to 94mm and it was hopping around every corner. It is wicked fast though and I still got 3rd twice. I can't wait to race it again.




And as I was working on my cars I realized I had one chassis of each color so I had to get a group shot.





Thanks Traveler for hooking me up with my latest fix.

Q & C welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

Other news... I finally got the mounts glued up on my Subaru so now it's ready for paint.




And here is my 94mm chassis as it sits now.




And last but not least.....I got new rims for the NSX. Will get pics of them mounted soon.




Q & C welcome.

This is an amazing collection man how much have you spent total on everything?

[xmodcanuck]

I should almost make a project thread for this but it may take me a while to completely finish it so I'll just post pics here. This is just a mock up to see how it will look.

I bought a mini-z a while ago and it came with a spare body mount that I didn't need so I decided to sell it. Someone I race with offered me a straight up trade for it.

ZondaR body and wheels. Man I love these wheels. Yep those are 1/24 Tagus.







The fronts are 22mm diameter and 11mm wide and the rears are 23.5mm diameter and 19.5mm wide.




Q & C welcome.

It looks like Phil's old car because it is Phil's old car. And no, I wasn't using that car sunday. Phil's car is actually a bit faster but it needs the motor wire resoldered.

I was using this car.

I have a bit of extra money for my hobby and I have scored some pretty awesome deals along the way. By buying most of my stuff used I'd say I've probably only spent 1/4 what they would have cost new.

[cowboysir03]

pretty impressed with that car...now that i know it had a 70T motor in it I'm even more embarressed with my performance.

Anyhow, gonna have some new tire choices for front and rear for the next event...and hopefully a cool F1 project complete to try against Terry's Ferrari.

[xmodcanuck]

So I've been very distracted by some really crappy stuff in my life but I still have been racing mini-z every 2-3 weeks. Got some new stuff to share.

Picked this up with the wheels unused for $35. Gotta love the bay.


Got a couple new Subaru bodies.


Practically stole these rims for $10/set. They're square inch-ups.
10 spoke



5 spoke. (And 2 new Subaru bodies.)




Also got some standard diameter 18 spoke.


Finally picked up a new F40 body with some goodies to make a 90mm MR-02.
