1:28 AWD?

Murdoch · Post by **Murdoch** » Mon Aug 28, 2006 2:42 am

So while reading this board earlier during the day, I came across this thread. It was talking about the 1:32 mini carpet racer, so I had a look.

Very nice chassis....

and then I stumbled across either a 1:32 AWD chassis or a 1:24 AWD chassis that was not the MR-010, but used MR-010 parts.

Now I can't find it. Anyone know where it's at? Because I'm probably going to pick it up.

Not sure about it using MA-010 parts , but there's the carpet knife tcz , you should find it somewhere on mini-zracer.com

This just blows me away as to how similar it looks to the xray m18

It says it's for the MR-01 electronics... WTF?

What if I wanted to convert my MR-02MM? That thing looks bad to the bone.

Pretty sure you can use regular mini-z stuff , just not for the AWD version... If you dont want to keep it mid mount , I could send you an iwaver rear pod for nothing if you like ?

Thank you for the offer, but I'm confused on what I'd need to have one of these things up, and running. I suck at 1/28 scale shit.

What all would I need?

Thanks for the input G

From what I can see mate , you just bolt up your rear end , and use whatever is upfront in your mini-z , upfront on that chassis.
Then install your elecs.

Picture from their gallery , explaining what I mean a little better.

Sorry to double post , edit button vanished

.

Here's a link to some instructions on setting it up with stock elecs , looks like you might have to wire in a real servo though ?

EDIT : Oops my bad , seems like you can run a totally stock Z on this thing! http://www.pro-z.com/build/mainchassis.html
Man im with you here , this thing looks fucking sweet !

Thanks for the info dude.

Damn they can make that shit look confusing. I guess from what i can see, it's gonna be another $120 to get my Z set up like that.

Fuck me....lol

i think these fancy looking z chassis' are a waste of money.
most of the time they utilise mr01 servos which are known to eat servo gears like m&m's.

you just can't go past the mr02 mm chassis for a kickass 2wd 1:28.
you can even fit lipo's in it if you're one of those voltage freaks, for the price of a cf z chassis you can buy enough lipo cells to make a dell executive nervous!
