Anyone play with those? i feel like getting one.. i notice they make a knock off for like $50 bucks.. Iwaver 02 and Firelap Nanoracer 02 which are like direct knock offs, just a lil slower but mini-z parts will swap onto em.

i guess ill ahve to check these out.. seems like they could be tons of fun .. i have an old tamiya ta02 1/10 with soem trick parts, but I feel it would be hard to keep up with the new racers.. these mini cars seem like u dont need all the expensive gear to race em.

X mods can be pretty cheap. I just ordered lithium upgrade on mine for 7 bucks. and ebay is the place to get em. you can also order on ebay S13 bodies and custom fit em on the x mod. im thinking of getting an S15 body for mine.

Yes i understand that but before the micro T there was the mini T its alittle bit bigger than the micro T. its like bigger than your palm. the micro t fits inside your palm correct ?

I didn't like the iwaver.

The boards on them are cheaper.

But if you really want the car to handle, you should buy another transmitter and use an AM module.

I'm using a futaba 3pks.

i also got a old rc10t from a friend a few months ago, complete chassis, ready to throw my elecs in.. could use some bearings tho..

I been itching to try dirt because i never got into it... but i always been into onroad, but where i live now, its mostly dirt lol.

Since my friends are into on road, i figured i could persuade em into getting some mini zs and we could race in the garage etc.. or i can fix up this rc10t and mess with it but ill be alone lol

I know RC10t is a old racing truck (i had a rc10 team car back in the day).. and its hella outdated, i guess i wouldnt mind making it a monster /stadium truck

Yeah, I've been racing a lot of nitro onroad and offroad in the past.

Thinking about starting to race 2wd buggy mod and mod 1/12.

I raced miniz's for a while. But I could never take it seriously.

I had a real Mini-Z and an Iwaver and I liked them both! the Iwaver more because I could use miniz parts and it saved my wallet =/
Very cool r/c's though.

buggys are nuts. i always wanted to try and get into 1/8th nitro 4wd buggies.

was but into 1/10th electric stadium trucks back in the day. won a lot of races.

i still have my xxxt mfe, a beater xxt, and a beater tc3 somewhere. i should sell those and get something more fun. i keep looking at small scale crawlers and can imagine crawling around my apartment with one.

anyone want a xxxt mfe or a tc3?

1/8 is fun. I ran a Mugen MBX-5 prospec with a RB Ws7 II. SO much fun.

I'm into 1/10 electric since it's the biggest class right now in norcal.

Crawling has gotten huge in the past year.

I have three Tamiya Bruisers, a Tamiya TXT-1 and a Losi Mini Crawler.

The mini crawler is tons of fun around the house.

I'll take the XXXt and the tc3 if you want to give it to me! haha.
