Title: Weekend projects Post by: Nic-z on February 25, 2008, 10:24:27 AM So this weekend I had some time, so I attempted my steering mod on my mini giant, then got a little bored so I put that aside (will finish soon just need to make the tie rods) and I got started on a long lost project. So one day I came across these hotwheels call tunerz, they are sweet riced out versions of hotwheels. Well I always liked those superslicks or zipzaps but all their bodies and wheels never matched. So I thought I would make a custom body for the micro RC.....well two infact. One is a Zipzap SE which as proportional steerin vs the other magnetic all or nothing steerin'. I also put in headlights and taillights so when you go forward they turn on and such. Well it wasn't too hard, to do the first one. the Grey one, the yellow...which was my favorite was difficult becuase the body was too long for the chassis and wheels ddn't match the wheel wells on the body. so I had to extend the chassis (no easy feat) well they both work, the Grey one works just like new, the yellow....the axel has something up with it so it intermitenly gets stuck. Since they are diecast bodies they are a little sluggish off the line, but still worth having a car that doesn't look like crap. I am going to be doing one more, and sell the yellow one on ebay, I want to get four and load them on my F1 trailer and bring them to the race, and we can all do a one lap race lol. should be fun.

I have two microsizers I could bring. I dont think the battery would last long enough to make it around a RCP track 1 time though. Title: Re: Weekend projects Post by: Nic-z on February 25, 2008, 01:33:09 PM Depends on how big the track is but I could bring one and race lol (the yellow is on ebay and I don't want to take any chances ruining it). I have extra donor bodies if anyone wants to make one after the race you deciede you dig them. I am making one more just to race around the desk at work. can decide what body. this (http://i17.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/d5/ea/70e7_1.JPG) or this (http://i9.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/d9/1e/420c_1.JPG)
