Project: RCP ripper
Well, I couldn't think of anything else to call it so...
Basically, its a modded (or to be modded for that matter) gen1, seeing as the suspension geometry is favorable to track racing. Its gonna feature some Z standard stuff including an improved tie rod system (probably based off of color's MRCG) and *drastically* improved rear suspension (T-plate, anyone?) Anywho, here's the list of upgrades: Intellect 750 NiMh cells Medium rear springs Soft front springs Pan car body mounted 42t pattern wind in M1 case set 18g wire Ball Bearings all around Micellaneous (sp?) weight savers 30wt shock oil (dampens surprisingly well, but is a mess to clean up) Atomic compound 20 treads 9.5mm *T-plate system *Improved tierod system Anywho, the electronics will remain stock (mostly) in order to be legal in HFAY and other stock class competitions. Oh yeah, my kickass pan car body. Airbrushed by Davey G. on MZR (amazing airbrush skills) (You'll have to excuse my crappy pics) Later, RedSXmodder Last edited by RedSXmodder; 03-18-2008 at 10:49 PM.. |

Thirty weight sounds a little heavy to me, surprised you like that much stiffness. Thirty weight is actually what I use in my Axial..
Please, try to get better pictures of the body. I would love to see the paintjob he did on this pan body; he truely is an amazing painter.

Ooh, I like where this is going! Any estimates on how long it'll take? Tell Davey G. That he did an amazing job!

You should submit this to HFAY. Although, I don't believe you could use that motor.. I have to check the rules again.

I know I can't use the motor, they use a handout system. I'd just use my motor for "practice" Later, RedSXmodder |

HFAY is a 1:28th scale racing competition. It's generally done with the Kyosho MiniZ series, but some people are bold enough to use the RadioShack Xmods series. Quite fun, actually. I can't wait to get out to my states GTG (get to-gether) and race.

Seriously, I think that an outdoor shot should give this thing some help. It helped this NSX, right? EDIT: Here's my camera, anyone wanna help me out with the settings? http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...sp?id=957&fl=4 Last edited by RedSXmodder; 03-18-2008 at 10:37 PM.. |

Closest HFAY GTG for your would be: MiniRC Speedway in Milwaukee. Here's the link to them on MZR: MiniRC Speedway.. If now, plan to come to Michigan and I'll make sure to make those races too.

Litte bit, yes. He has some nice, crisp and flowing lines for the flames; very good work and very, very cool design concept.

Wow! Donziikid, I was in Ann Arbor a few years back. We have some cousins who live there, if I ever go there again, I'll plan to race you. RedSXmodder, that is very attractive! Do you think that they will know it is not a Mini-Z? There used to be some good XMOD races around here. Now I plan on taking some of mine to my LHS's indoor track.(preferably for larger scales.)
