I did not change anything. Its running stock. Or at least, stock parts. All I had, was to have the motor tuned for speed rather than torque. My springs are still stock. Slapped on some drift tyres thats all. I suggest you perform a search on the internet for more detailed information on the Mini Z if you intend to try one out yourself. I may not be the best person to give out any advice on this. One Question , What Changes or Mods do you guys do in order to make it drift ?

The car is only 200g and way lighter in comparison to 1/10...
With a faster motor, any turning and throttling would result in a very big reaction to the car...
What motor are you using btw? Is it the Atomic Stock? If thats so...You have taken a higher torque, higher speed motor as compared to silver can or even an X-Speed...
Mod to drift? Just drift tires and its ready to go...

Since the ASC is cheap over at Hobbybug...Why not get another one and sand the paint off...And paint it black like your 1/10?

hahaha.. maybe Trixie-Force sounds better. Drift a bit too generic to indicate that it represents drift force.
i will personally kick their butts if they forget 1:10 drifting. We'll bring our 1:10 cars and crush their little coc-kroach cars. just realised u can't spell coc-kroach on the forum cos the first part of the word b4 roach is considered a swear word.

Yeah man, the coc-roach cars are really addictive. I think its the mobility that makes it fun. Anyways,
cant afford to get our butts kicked by our resident martial arts expert, J , although I am sure, my sick-kick
Mr X aka The Lawyer should be able to seek justice in court. But Martiniz is a forgiving and peace-seeking man.
And so to prevent future conflict of interests internally, and he will move out of RC altogether and take up yachting.
See you on the deck soon!

4-ish is excellent, I would have been just done with my body scrub and nail manicure then. Tell you what, I get the beer & peanuts, you get the cold cuts. Dont worry about the guards, I have my own private driveway directly to where my yatch is parked. U can leave your car there. My guys will keep an eye on it while we soak in the mid day seabreeze, with our fishing rods and drinking chilled beer. dang. does this mean i have to buy my own yacht if i want to build a mini z track? sigh.... anyway, this saturday sounds good, i will drive down around 4-ish with my fishing rods. i only have a half bottle of riesling left so i think we will have to bring some beer and cold cuts too. pls rem to clear my vehicle for entrance. the guards can get quite anal. ;D |

A RTR MA-010 costs around $339...But due to the DK compy at SC...A RTR MA-010 (Only the Lancia Delta ASC ones) cost $279...
ASC: Auto Scale Cover/Collection
ASCs are quite hard and supposedly durable to knocks...But doesn't include high speed crashing into hard objects...
