That's awesome--thanks!! Plus they're close(ish) so if I order tomorrow it should be here Wed., in time for me to take the car to PKC II with Bodine.

InZane- nice car. Looks good with the East cells. So you already have the Robi servo saver?

InZane · 04-03-2007, 02:10 PM

Thanks!
No, it's a modified Atomic servo saver.
I hope the Robitronic one will be realeased soon - you really need one or you will brake either the steering knuckles or the servo gears.

I'm impressed by the EastPower cells, just as good as the IB's but cheaper.

Here's a pic of the body btw - nothing fancy, just a one colour design.
My aim was to make it look more like a real race car than a space ship

OK, does anyone know where to get tires? This is getting a little ridiculous. I feel like this is a Tamiya car or something... Oh, and what kind of servo savers are you guys using (esp. In Zane)? I can't find one small enough for Futaba S3154...

I have the following in stock for foam tires
Red Dot Rear
Yellow Dot Rear
White Dot Rear
Blue Dot Front
Red Dot Front
Yellow Dot Front

I do not have them listed on the site yet but will add them right after I post this.

The only servo saver it seems that fits the sub micros is the RC18T saver so I modified one to accept 2 ball ends instead of 1 and used a metal GPM C spring to tighten it up. My pics of it are about a page back.

Umm, I hate to do this, Shookie, but I gotta remove that post, can't bend the rule even for a regional mod, please repost it in the For Sale/Trade forum...

A short video with me driving the Scalpel on our club Mini-Z track (very small & narrow track - I know).

I've been testing new tire compounds (without additives) - these are much better than the Robitronic kit tires.

Hey INzane--what's that surface you're running on?

Jochim_18 · 04-26-2007, 09:59 PM

Thats pretty cool what kind of tires are you using?

InZane · 04-27-2007, 03:57 AM

As most of the Mini-Z tracks here in Sweden our club track has a Regupol surface.
Regupol is made from recycled rubber and both looks and feels like tarmac, the grip is very much like carpet ( http://www.regupol.com/site/ ) .

I'm testing different Inzane tire compounds developed for Mini-Z cars.

Rear Medium is best suited for Regupol and high bite carpet tracks and Rear Soft for lower grip carpet tracks.

I've tested Front medium and Front medium/hard .
Medium gives you little more steering - but both works well on all tested surfaces (I prefer the medium/hard though)
