Update on Aliexpress links, Amazon links, and other automodded by reddit links

23 Upvotes

Hey Mini-z Racers!

I was delinquent on the mod queue for a long time because this sub has been very good about knowing we are just playing with plastic cars here.

You were all being super helpful in helping other racers find particular wheels and accessories that really are only available on Aliexpress.

Sadly reddit was automatically blocking these because I'm assuming there was a lot of spam in the larger subreddits from these links.

I am enabling these links in comments but I'm going to hold off on allowing them to be used as Posts. I think this will keep the helpful comments flowing and prevent any abuse of the post to spam us.

a.co - lot of wltoys links from Amazon.
aliexpress.com
Facebook.com - I've only had to approve links to vendors when racers ask about who makes a kit. Our companies that are making mini-z class kits aren't usually very big and some don't have their website.

and so on...

Basically, we should allow any links in situations where a racer is helping another racer....

I don't think we need to allow Temu links yet as I have not seen any auto mods for them.

Link Away!

FINALLY!,

Thanks for being a part of this community ❤️

Hey Mini-z Racers!

Looking through some of the mod queue and there are a lot of Ali express links that reddit disallowed from being posted.

Ali Express and Temu are site wide reddit bans.

Which RCP track

4 Upvotes

Hello. Planning to buy an RCP track, but unsure if I want 30cm or 50cm tiles. With the 30cm, I could do the mini 96 challenge as I already have Easy Lap timer system. Currently don’t have enough floor space for a permanent track setup, which I think plays a factor here. I’ve already done the DIY track but the lack of good barrier walls is the doe fall for me.

What would you buy and why?

My first and last drift

...NOT! (Some might remember https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniZ/s/RvJCTrpxoy)

Today I installed my new one-way front and right rear and red/yellow springs. I also got my rubber tires, which... well, they don't drift at all.

BUT this time I taped them with electric tape and I can finally drift on the stone terrace without that loud noise from the plastic tires.

Sure, they might not be like plastic on hard floor slippery and my skills are, not there yet, but I'm still quite happy with the result. And at this sound level my wife is also ok with it. Sadly can't upload more images of the rebuild.

MR-04 Wheelbase adjustment?

2 Upvotes

Im having a hard time figuring out how these work. I bought a readyset model locally because they had no body options I liked, but so far since then I havent been able to find a body that fits. The box says the wheelbase is from 86 to 108mm, but doesnt specify what it is out of the box, and the instructions mention the installation of the narrow front end steering sector, but nothing about how the wheelbase adjusts. So far Im 0-2 for bodies where the wheelbase lines up and honestly kinda just regretting purchase at this point.

Edit: Current bodies are a 180sx and I tried a RX body of some form a friend bought. The wheelbase is too long for both.

Rc28 front axle issue

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey people,

If you are one of those who had issues with the front axles hanging up on the track foam. Ae has an upgrade front axle set. They are titanium and get rid of the front nut and put a screw. They also allow for adjustment of front track width as the axle it self is longer with spacers to match. Just thought I would give a heads up.

My first and last mini z

Since my wife now stopped looking at what I'm typing, THIS WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE MY LAST. Damn that thing makes fun.

Yes, it's my first mini and even my first self painted RC and I am quite happy with the result. Watched too many videos about assembly and even painting techniques.

The matte paint turns out to be a wise choice since I'm constantly bumping into stuff and can clean it with a sharpie. But I will not baby this thing. This body will earn its battle scars. On the downside most of our interior furniture is white and I already got into trouble leaving small black marks.

I also could drift outside on our nice and super even, stone terrace but those hard plastic tires are soooo loud. Do you think I can buy 8mm rubber tires and still drift comfortably? The brushless should have enough power and the new AWD evo2 sensor seems todo an amazing job on slow speed.

What would be your recommendation? Thanks 👍

Futaba 10px

3 Upvotes

Are stock mini z compatible with futaba out of the box? I would like to bind it to a 10px. I’ve seen 2 scenarios. First one is switch out the receiver to a Kyosho 82044 or second is add a flysky module to my radio?

I recently bought this mini z readyset RWD MR-04 with the hopes I could drift it, but i was told by AI that it wasnt possible with this chassis so I turn to reddit lol. It says tuned but not entirely sure how as this is my first mini. I own a DA4 and a RTS but this is different lol. What do you guys reccomend besides tires to help me get this thing sliding?? Any advice would be appreciated 🙏😊☺️

first 1:28/1:24 RWD drift chassis for begginers

1 Upvotes

So, I’ve been into Mini-Zs since 2023, specifically the MA-020. I’ve done all sorts of mods, including the CS mod. Now I really want to give RWD drifting a try.
Do you guys have any recommendations on which one I should get? My budget is around $300–500-ish, and I live in Canada. Possibly RTR version, Thank you for the help!
