The Mini Z
2
years ago I was looking for something small to run indoors
at my new house.
I decided to give a Kyosho Mini
Z a try. I bought one of Ebay along with sticky
tires,
a ball diff, delrin servo gears, graphite rear suspension
plates, and a
x speed motor. Once it arrived, I ran
it stock for a while. It was fun, but the stock
tires
had no grip on my wood floors. So I strapped on the
sticky rubber. It
was much better. Now I wanted to
see what the x speed could do. Well,
it was not as
much fun as I thought it would be. Anything over 1/4
throttle
resulted in endless donuts. So in went the
ball diff. This mad almost not
difference not matter
how tight or loose I set it. On pavement its another
story.
It can still spin out, but its much easier to control
and the speed
really comes through. I played with
the rear suspension plates and liked
the stiffest
once until I crashed and snapped it in half. Now I use
a medium
stiffness plate and it works well I most
situations. Of course I dont
race it, so the handling
is not a big issue. In the end its not something
that
works out real well for me in the house, but its still
a blast!
