1:28 AWD?

Post by Murdoch »

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.

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 ? :-o

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 :shock: .

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 ! :eek:

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! :lol:
