Another Scale ??? Lxx Char-G

DarkTari · Post by **DarkTari** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 11:04 am

Yeah Yeah! I know Clint but I've had this one for over 2 years. It was on my 3rd TE order and got it
for $9.00 or $11.00. It is an Lxx Char-G in a 1/24 scale. It's uses 4 AAA in the car & 8 AA in the Tx.
Propo of course, steering & throttle trim and also a steering adjuster for tight & wide turn tracks.

Came with this Mercedes CLK430 Race Body.

I also ordered an Audi TT body:

Chassis Shots: (wheelbase can be adjusted 86mm, 90mm & 94mm for different bodies)

Working Differential:

Drawing:

Think I'm gonna go back to the Merc body

For 9 smacks you cant beat that deal...Looks like it would kick the shit out of an xmod

That chassis looks exactly like an OG Iwaver.

When they first came out they had a clear TX and were only $21.90 on TE.

Now they're $80 on Tower.

I have a Blue TT and the same Merc body.

Good cars. I was driving one last night and its still in great shape.

Is the turning radius better than an Xmod?

Yeah, that was TE's first version of the Kyosho Mini-Z MR01 clone... shortly after that, they changed the name to iWaiver, then to FireLap.

Thats like an insanely cheap deal for a nice looking propo ride. Hows does this compare to an Xmod or even an OG Iwaver?

(I just noticed the livin' large section

)

i remember these, as mentioned they're pre iwaver and we know how crappy the 1st gen iw's were.
no servo saver, stay away from anything 01

For all you guys that are interested in this, I implore you to check out a Kysosho MR02 or at the very least, a Firelap 2.0.

I've gone down this exact same path, and would hope you can learn from my experience. I invested well over $200 on xmod stuff, then well over $300 on MR01 stuff like the ones pictured above. Currently, they all sit unused. If you're at all serious about getting into 1:24 scale cars and you haven't bought anything yet, go straight to the top and get a Kyosho MR-02.

The platform is so superior, and none of the parts are interchangeable. If you put every available upgrade on an MR01, I'd bet money I could beat you with a stock MR02 with an Xspeed motor. It's going to cost you just a little more out of the gate, but unless you have to have AWD, there's just no comparison.
