ph2t has just done this conversion and documented it better than i did, should be here somewhere. or try ikinari's site: http://www1.bbiq.jp/ikinari/xmods/index.html

this is a comparison between the stock xmod and the x waver

i just realised that i forgot to put up some completed chassis pics.

the metal under the rear shocks is there because i usually wear through that part, the cover lasts way longer than the plastic underneath.

ynad, in order to do the miniz board with a mini-t servo, you use the wires that go to the mini-z servo from your mini-z board and you wire them onto your mini-t servo (you have to open it) the mini-t servo only has 3 wires i believe and that makes it so that you must had a line between the middle point and one of the sides (i forgot) on the potiontiometer of the servo. After that, the battery wires go respectively to the batteries and the switch must be mounted in a place of some sort (maybe where the original xmod switch was? All people do it kind of differently.

ok got it. you are talking about 3 wire sorvo, and it is simple enough now.
btw the mini-t servo has 4 wires. i posted thread about it. BettyK responded with the solution. And the switch is positioned, all components are in place now. thank you
