Kremzeek Good find, I looked for the body alone with no luck..lol
Thanks for the link.


Billy, I would be ashamed to show you my bench, It looks like a garbage heap but has a lot of loot all over it.
Unfinished racing quads, foamy 3d panes, ect.. lol

the good and bad of living alone. No one to say clean this up. Oh that痴 just part of it. I own somewhere around 70 vehicles now. Another 10 or so disassembled that have been picked apart. That was from 3 years ago. During a buying year. Think I bought 18 vehicles that year. I致e gotten better. But still long way to go.

I知 better now about not impulse buying of vehicles. First few years I wanted to try everything. Got caught up in wanting to be the first with the newest release. Plus local store used to get really good used vehicles. Hard to pass up kind.
RC is far better, healthier and even cheaper then previous bad habits. Plus instead of dreading the sunrise, I知 up now at 5am so I can drive or get repairs or builds done.
Hopefully this year I値l finally finish clearing out a room in house for everything, might fit.

Billy, its good to hear you are on the road to recovery. Stay on that road.

Looks to me like that room in the pic would make a good place for a small mini-Z track if you get things on one side of the room!

There are a lot of variables that determine the charge time. Let's start with the batteries themselves and the charger. From that we can postulate the time needed.

If I buy a mini z I’d buy the Orion 750s and you could recommend a charger

With all the current turmoil in the scale I wouldn't go crazy on a charger that just does NIMH batteries. Ebay item number 321500159944 is a great bang for the buck. So much so I would get at least two. Your choice of battery will serve you well if you don't try to melt it down while charging it. Personally I would look for some 8-900MAH batteries to accompany the punchier 750's. The higher MAH units provide more run time while giving up some of the snap or punch that the lower MAH units have which can be a good thing. You use your punchy batteries for the qualifiers and the more sedate units for the mains. If you try a sets back to back you will see what I mean.
