lol
make fun of my under powered "Bit-Zap" will you and those tiny ass front wheels! Well you can cram it up your @sss!!

edit: Not sure what the heck happened but the original pics are lost

So i snapped some new dual shots, the Supra body's gone on it's way to a new home so... no beauty shots there.

Thank you all!

I'm really glad that i resurrected this project, it was a great challenge and big FUN too!
Gotta work some little quirks out though, right now i'm running it with a TRC.com 2.8 [damn sexy beast] and had to mess around with the gear ratios. This things got so much torque off the line the chassis twists... errr actually it has a nasty hook to the left, gonna have to look into hogs "JB Weld Axel Thingy" and front springs!

I think i may go out and buy another ZZ today just so i can have the front hubs and rear axel and spare parts... the OG ones musta got lost after the fire... *shrug* oh wells!

It's all about evolution!

as i had said in my previous post;

I think i may go out and buy another ZZ today just so i can have the front hubs and rear axel and spare parts... the OG ones musta got lost after the fire... *shrug* oh wells!

so i went down to one of my local friendly RS and picked up this Sexy Beast right here!
the pics in the catalog do not, i repeat do not do this ride justice!

Yeah Baby!

Had to see what it would look like... ehh does nothin' for me and it handles like shit!

this is what set it off right here, the stock front ride height! it's doesn't look all jacked up in the front, unlike the previous models this has a much more proprtional fender gap.

This is all mounted on my dual cell chassis, which brings me to point #2. Yes I did just go out and spend $20 on front hubs and a Blingin' Ass 350 body, crazy you say?!
Yes crazy indeed... about perfection! And this is exactly what I needed to balance out my dual cell mod, the larger diameter wheels and proper grade tire are key to make this bullet controllable and more enjoyable to drive! Plus the body's extra Shiny!

It screams now, man this is my new favoritist toy! And like I said the wheels made a huge difference, plus i'm using a MS hard stabilus and MS (not bit) medium slicks up front and Bit mediums out back for a little "slippy-grippy" action. I'm using two 160mah nimh for a powerplant, the ones from Namuna.

You know what sess, I didn't even pop some batts in the controller and take it for rip around the kitchen

. I was so excited to get it that right when i got it home i cracked it open and raped it of it's front knuckles and hubs, it's still a virgin lol, but i made sure that i got a 45mhz just in case i get the urge to build another dual w/o a PCB swap. I remebered what you had said regarding the new PCB shelling out more juice, so i got the lesser of two evils.

Damn man, ya shoulda atleast run it once, it's a damn shame to be holdin a virgin car, but I understand what ya did totally

Another funny thing about the 350z zz is that the pcb cover is glued down

I think it's about time I tear into this car and see what's up.

Yeah thought that was a little odd myself, probably just to make sure the ones they back on returns were'nt tampered with. But i aint afraid of a little glue ya heard! lol
I tore into that, like a prom dress on prom night kid!

its forgivable now that you got rid of the "limpwristed and the queerious" shell.
