2 weeks ago i rode my bike to freddys because im onley 12 and i came across these HW 1/40 di cast cars for about $3.50. i bought a nissan 350z so i could put an estes rocket motor on it then i got an idea :grin: . i had and spare zz se around and i took the electronics from it and put them in the 350z. i used a zz mt red motor and gears in the front and back. i took the steering bok out of the zz se and cut a hole in the hood of the 350z and mounted it at the right level. i cut the front end off the bottom of the car. and so the whole front bottom of the car turns :???: well it works. it runs on a duble A battory. when it was done i took off the rubber tires and tested it. it was sliding all across the computerroom floor :eek: its about 14 ft by 11ft. it was doing such big drifts i was so proud of myself. im going to build an off roader for my 19 yr old brother. his licence is suspended :sad: . so i gave him my 1/18 nylint rock crawler. :grin: i will post pics soon ;-)
