GREAT you got your track up and running Road Rash!
PoorBoy will have to make the call on what class your SR27 will go into, but I'm interested how it runs compared to Mini-Zs! |

I hate to hear ya had a break on your SR27, but you should be set with the mini-z! Tons of info out there on them to get you started, and some super knowledgeable guys here too, so holler with any thing you run into! I have a AE Reflex 14B and it's pretty good, but nothing like the quality of the RC10's I had 20 years ago!
Have fun with your new Z!! |
Well, there were no parts locally and nothing on Amazon. I could order from amain but shipping was as much as the part.
|
I run into that very thing more than I'd like to remember! I try to order parts in bunches, what I need and what I might need in the future, as I am in the same boat as you when it comes to locally available parts. We have a nice Hobby Town, but they don't stock many Mini-Z parts. You would think as hot as it is for most of the year here in Texas the mini-z would have a bigger following. I think a big part of it is the thought that the Mini-Z is a over priced plastic toy by the larger scale rc crowd. I got a few weird looks when talking to the Hobby Town owner, by a few customers who were spending big bucks repairing their 1/8th scale bashers, when asking about racing mini-zs. They don't understand that this scale racing is HARD, compared to any of the 1/10 and 1/8 scale racing I have done. All other racing seems slow, even at the speeds we ran on Dirt Oval with RC10GTs.
Anyway, excuse my rambling, I'm stuck in my recliner on the heating pad as my back is out, bad! Can't drive now as I can't bend down to get the cars on or off the track. Have fun with your new Z, and get ready for more! Just over 2 tears ago I started with a mini-96 track and a ReadySet MR03, I now have 6 Chassis and more bodies than my Wife would like!:p I also took over my Son's old room, and it is now my R/C Man Cave! Take Care Guys and be Safe on your Holiday Travels! Drew |

Swapped tires and body from my sr27 to a stock mini chassis, dropped 30 seconds off my total time and I was in training mode. |
