Salt Lake Mini-Z Club Forum

Well luke totally hooked up my hummer, I love the body. I have two others so I think after last nights race its apparent I need to make some custom body mods to mine to set it apart. I am thinking of two wire hoops around the body so it will roll like a barrel until it lands on its wheels again. as well as a ramp that will fold out the back, as to ward off tailgators and those that don't want to deviate from there 'line' lol. all I can say is flying hummers baby. and to top it off I am devising a front spring loaded bumper which will activate but a 'bump' and then launching the obstruction several feet from my car and out of my way....this is all going under the assumption that after many races I still can't race, and that I will actually be quick enought to hit someone with my bumper.  Mods that will follow.....flame throwers....

That mud job Luke whipped up is sick. It looks totally real!! Very cool.

oh man I am so pumped about it, very well done I agree,

Pics?  are they in the gallery?   found them.   wow!  that looks very realistic.

I'll post the pick here with a link to it.

Lol I know! Luke really hooked it up now I just need to get that spare tire rack on there and some other stuff going for it.

  Thanxx  guys  it was one of the more easy paint jobs i have done,, only took about 10 min. and 3 different paints

lets dip the tires too lol

don't forget to get those shine chome rims dirty as will.  ;D  you need to complete the package.

oh yeah, what do you say luke, splatter some of that on the sidewalls and rims?

Cool  ,, I dont know how well it will stick to the tires ,, but we can try anything once..  did you want to get together before the next race,, or just do it then???

yeah we could get to together before the race, whats your schedule like and where you at during the days, I am in centerville from 7am-3pm then head back down to provo so whenever is clever.

Im petty flexible about any time after 3:00 on wed,thurs,fri, and saturday,,, we could meet at west valley hobbies, or somewhere

    let me know what you think

Yeah that sounds cool, probably 3;30 on thrusday if that works for ya?

Sounds cool,,, 3:30 at west vallev hobbies, it is

GREAT I have the super swampers with some bling wheels I want to get dirty lol.

Hey Nic,
What happened? We waited at WVH for about 45 minutes today. Thought you were coming at around 3:30.

yeah hopefully you read the shout by now, needless to say I had a pretty good excuse. Though I think its helpful to get yours and lukes cell numbers so we can be informed, I wanted to call you guys but didn't have any info. call me at work if you guys want to meet today. Sorry about all that yesterday.  Nic 801-683-7866

don't forget we have a member contact thread.   it's for just such cases.   ;D

Yes and my contact info is in there. Thats where I got your numbers from Nic.

sweet I guess thats where brian got lukes home number, which I called and left a message on, sorry guys just didn't have a lot of time in such case. if it wasn't as serious I would have spent more time trying to get a hold of you guys. Russ I will call you later.

Hey luke sorry about WVH we'll meet up next thrusday thanks. nic

not a problem,,  Ill try to remember to bring the paint,, and we can paint it there...   laters

Well Last night was great fun, and it goes to show when you race overland with a pimped out paint job (thanks luke) you run it balls-out even if you loose a wheel! I thought about it and before I get my rear ramp and get some more alm parts, so knuckles, servo gears, main rear gear, motor clip, and lower A arm are all comming over from HK. only thing left is one shock mount an A arm and the main chasis lets hope this works lol.

that think is going to be a big chunk of aluminum...  are you sure it will move when your done.   :P

that brings me to a very good question, since OL is not really restricted to as much rules as the racers, can I use stacked fets and a hotter motor?  I blieve the alm puts more weight on the ground and allows for a more solid landing, instead of this 'bouncing' affect.

there are rules for all the classes....

so I'd say no.  we try to keep everyone on a reasonable level,  you want to go faster you need to improve your driving.

I'm not picking on you,  the rules go for everyone.

lol no problem, So does that mean I can't have a 2.4 in my OL? Also shoot me over the link to the posted rules for all the classes so I don't have to ask silly questions, thanks.

Luke F1 pics are posted.

Hey Nic,,, hows the rest of the body look???  only found pic of the wings,,,,,         

Im a total retard,, I found the pics,,,  bring it next race,, consider it sold

okay, I was thinking 35, kenon has it for 45 plus shipping, Thought I would knock it down some since you're painting the body for me. thanks.

sounds solid ,, Ill bring the dough with me

thanks, and the muddy body and wheels. ;D

Hey Nic,,, Check out your truck in my misc. gallery.... is that muddy enough for ya????

Luke you can post the pics.   If your not sure how let me know.

that looks awesome.    Nic, when you get it all put together make sure to take some more pics.    Nice job on the painting of the mud,  very realistic. 8)

Yeah Brian,,, I dont know how to post then in the forum...

  Teach me Oh wise one

Thats pretty cool!! Looks filthy..... Hey I thought we had a rule against posting dirty pictures!! LOL!!

there are 2 ways to do it.

1. Right click on the picture and copy the address (URL).  Use the smaller thumbnail picture.
2. on the bottom row above there are some icons.  it's on the bottom row second one in from the left. Click the button (looks like a little Picture) and then paste the address in.   you will end up with this.

[ img ][ /img ]   with your address inbetween them.  Remove the space  


second way.

1. see step 1 above.
2. Type [ img ] Right before the address and [ /img ] right after it.  Remove the spaces  

hey I like dirty pictures... ::)

Luke, you are the man, makes a horrible I am having a lot better thanks a million, I have that f1 body I will bring it to the next race.
