Salt Lake Mini-Z Club Forum

Guys, since last thursdays race, its not been a question of whether or not I like the mini-z world but which one to buy next. I've deceided I want to get an overland, can't find any on ebay. I am looking for a hummer or one that has the same wheel base and such as one.  If anyone knows of any on a forum for sell let me know.  Thanks! :)

you could post up on Mini-zracer a WTB add.  I'm sure you would get something.   just state what you are looking for and what you are looking to pay.   I wouldn't worrry about the wheelbase,  just make sure that is come with all the shock tower mounts (these change depending on what body you use.  you can replace the wheels with +3 racer wheels and still use the overland tires.   I can show you how that works.

sounds good, hopefully they'll let me post something on their forums.

I'll post more if I find em'.

What are the troubles that you are having?   I have the forum automatically get the descriptions all you need to do is post the url.   it will pull the headers from the pages.   this doesn't work however if they have random header that doesn't match the page link. (rckenon is like this unfortunatly)  you can edit it after it fills in the info though.  :P

I like just the name of the link to show. Today I couldnt get them to work like I did the other day.

This works just clicking the insert hyperlink button above:
http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=16740 (http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=16740)

This works but doesnt look like I wanted (here I tried to just name the link):

Kyosho Mini-Z Porsche Cayenne Turbo Overland ReadySet - Black
  (http://"[url=http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=16740")

We should go to testing instead of cluttering up this thread with this stuff. I'll try to edit the above with links.

I tried to make it as easy as possible.    I edited the link above in your post.  is that how you wanted it to show?

Yes the Cayenne Link is right. I couldnt make it do that today, but was able to the other day.

Ultimate has Hummer bodies!!! woo hooo! but I can't decide to wait on this and buy that massive lot of rc cars or pull the tigger, how hard to come by are the hummers?

They do?? Where I couldnt find one. Link please.

Oh. Also Kennon has the white H1 in for $24.

I think that link is dead.

maybe Nic bought the last one?

lol! something isn't right, I must have bought the last one, however, I selected the 2nd day shipping and it said '0.00' so a grand total for a ready set was 119.00 nice! ;D

Now get ya some of these.

3Racing Overland Shock Set (http://cgi.ebay.com/3-RACING-KYOSHO-OVERLAND-MONSTER-ALLOY-SHOCK-SET_W0QQitemZ320148251141QQihZ011QQcategoryZ44028QQtcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

do I have to mod the chassis to make them fit? if so I will go with the GPMS

According to Brian you have to cut the body a tad under the back window. I have the GPM's and would like to get the 3Racing. LOL!! The 3R are oil filled and the GPM are grease lined. I like how mine work but I still think the 3R is better. Mine came on my OL though so I didnt pickem but I'm sure they are better than stock.

well do the 3R's have a tendancy to leak? if not I will get them, if they do leak I will just buy yours and you can get them if you want lol.

they all have a tendency to leak slowly.  the 3Racing ones do, as do the kyosho ones over time.

But GPM do they have oil or just greese in them?

I heard the GPM's wont hold oil at all. Mine have nothing in them, but I heard its good to coat the inside walls with a thick grease. I might try it but so far they seem to be ok. I would like a bit more dampening though.

BTW. In all the reading I have done the unanimous winner for OL shocks is the Kyosho brand. But they are the most expensive and hard to find. (and ugly)  :P.

THanks for the overview, I will have to see when I get mine what to do and look at yours and Brians.  I am into maitence free stuff but we shall see. Bytheway my h1 is 'on order' could be a few weeks, they didn't know when they would have them again. ahh!

Thats what I thought.

If you havent paid for it already I would keep looking. Or better yet buy the Cayenne (or whatever) and a white Hummer body. I have a feeling the wait could be awhile.

Russ do your +3 pn wheels stick out the side any at all? I saw the pictures they seem to just a hair, didn't know if I should roll with the +2's instead.

Yes I think they do, "just a hair". I'm sure either would be ok though as the 1mm a side difference is "just a hair"  :D.

okay cause they have chrome in 2's but not 3's and they are discontining them so I'm thinking I'll get a pair...making a kennon buy todya if you need anythign russ

Ya I do. Not sure how long it will take me to get my stuff I want ready though. Why dont you email me when you are ready.

okay, I only have like 19 bucks in my cart, not a lot just needed my overland rims.

In that case why dont I make the order and add your stuff to it?
