WOW. That enzo looks 100x better than the Enzo Fast Gear I have sitting here. Let us know how they are DT. I'd like that Murci myself.

Later,
Chrome...

BTW, is that $10 coupon a freebie online?

They are pretty cool, I was playing with one the other day. They are nothing to drool over as far as the guts are concered but the bodies are pretty nice.
Ohh they are made by nikko.

The Coupon is given with a purchase at any Radio Shack that is going out
of Business to be used at an RS that isn't (going outta business). I always ask for a few and they don't mind, afterall, they ARE going outta business!
So today I got $40.00 worth-a-shit for $20.00

There isn't much to tell you other then that maxx. It is just a run of the mill R/C with nice bodies. It isn't fast or anything and I lost interest in a matter of seconds.

It does actually have front springs but none in rear. I also comes in a little case like the mini-z.

Ditto on that when I went in to buy the mater ZZ I saw them and they had a sample. I ran it around then thought what could I put these body on?

Funny looking Epoch. Woops, wrong thread!

Well maybe not.

The old Rat Shack is useful for something at least.

Bite me but it's hot today

Damn that was quick! It's funny this beast created in a few days is so much better then the Nikko, it's more sad then funny.

Oh, I think there was more than a few day work involved, all things considered, but that is a very inventive use of an epoch.

Was it a pain mounting up the bigger wheels?

Adapting the modified Epoch to the Nikko chassis only took a couple of hours, but then that doesn’t count the time making the modified Epoch.

Rear wheels where easy,

With the lathe for accurate centering of the bearing hole and turning the extended CF axle ends/tips to press into the ball bearing and knuckle the front was also relatively easy.

I've been looking at those Nikko's and thinking about puting a few lithiums in it. They have AA and AAA lithiums out now. I bet 2 lithiums and a little more work on some other things might turn that Nikko into a racer. Maybe it's worth it. If I break it, oh well, it's only $20. I bet I could even adapt a H-plate and spring suspension via old school BettyK style.

Any chance I can get a pic of the PCB? I would like to know what kind of H-bridge it's using.

What size motor does it use?

Ikinari stuffed an 01 under one of those Murcie bodies... he used the shortest setting, the smaller "classic" style wheels off of like the mini z Cobra or something like that, and an OL ball diff on an 01 shaft... he even adapted mini z body mounts to it...
