I bought this about 5 months ago for $50 plus shipping ($10). It has worked great for me so far but I just bought a Helios so I'm looking to sell this one. It runs all the Mini-Z's and my Mini Monster.

I'm going to give the members at SLMZ the first chance at a reduced price before listing it on MZR and then possibly Ebay if it doesnt sell. The only known problem with it is the battery tray got slightly deformed when charging one time but has not effected performance at all, it just looks weird. I am selling the radio only with the box and manual. It does not include the crystals, receiver, or servos.

Russ, I want to buy that. I would have to confirm with my dad if it's ok, but my dad and I have kept on looking for controllers for the mini-z. Please keep me on the "Will/might buy" list

  ;D I thought you might. Thats why I posted it here. Let me know asap. My plan was to wait up to week before putting it on MZR.

My dad said it was ok to buy it. I guess I'll bring some money to the next race and we can do the transaction at the warehouse. Thanks ;D

Is the reciever basically the module? So that means I have to buy something for it to work? What reciever did you use and where did you buy it?

ryan,  no you are good to go.  you Just add your crystal. 

this paticular radio came with some other little bits, that weren't for Mini-z's.   Hope that explains it.

Brians right, the only thing you need to do is plug in the crystal from your old radio into the new radio. You will also want to center the steering pot on your Mini-Z. This is very easy to do and I can show you how Thursday. In fact all my settings are still on it so it shouldnt need much adjusting at all.
