Just finished it tonight- cant wait to go out after work tomorrow.

 

 

last one

 

looks clean, like those TEs.... need to get some sticker on those wheels!!
btw, which brand is it?

 

It's just a Tamiya electric- nothing too fast- just for fun. I'll bring it next weekend.

 

sweet... might have to take on this new hobby... modding it sure is cheaper then the real thing... hehehe

 

I have a Gas Powered RC, may be I need to pick up a 350Z shell!

 

I still have a monster truck at my parents house... maybe I can be the first 350z with a lifted kit?

 

"I shall call him Mini Z."

 

Looks awesome...and like a LOT of fun.

 

thats bad *** man, but Id go get another body and put less work into it, use that to drive it. haha, you know your gonna cry the first time it flips and slides on its roof. I would.

 

let us know if you have any tire feathering problems.

 

Make sure you get a clear bra! At least you don't have to worry about brake dust...

 

haha i'm building a model too...except mine's a stationary model.

 

I wouldn't be to sure about the cost of mods for it.
I had an optima 4 wheel drive and was spending a small fortune on keeping good tires on it. I'm thinking they were around $20 a set and I would use a set every week. Compare that to the price of a set of tires for the real deal and there isn't that much of a difference.
I think I had about $500 into the car and radio. Then spent like 25hrs putting the thing together.
I'm finding the full scale less expensive than the 10th scale.

 

I found a kit for just over $60, less radio and battery, etc. Does the body come pre-painted? If not, what paint did you use? It looks GOOD. I'm really thinking I might mess around with one of these. I haven't built an RC car in years!

 

WashUJon- Had to paint it but it came with all the decals for the headlights, windows, taillights etc. Also came with precut masking for the windows. Painted on the inside, but was really simple. I can't remember the paint, special type for plastics. I'll look at the can when i get home and post it for you.

 

Thanks a lot!

I ordered the kit after looking at all the specs. It looks like a pretty good electric kit and its pretty damn inexpensive. I like gas RC, but this was too cool to pass up. I gotta find a good radio now.

Your car looks great! Its a perfect match for the big Z. lol

 

The paint is Pactra Racing Finish (spray can)-
You can probably pick up a basic controller for like $55-65 bucks. I picked up a basic Futaba wheel controller for like $62. Not the best by far but it works great.
Post some pics when you get yours.

 

Remember Mini Me?

It's your Mini Z!

What are the chances of you making one like that for my DB and selling it to me??
