Sorry, forgot about JR. They also have a 27mhz modual that will work with the mini-z's.

This is such a great idea, but it has only one problem. Al of these radio manufactures choose to have a different type of crystal of some sort. So that makes one radio not compatable with another so you could not do a generic one car fits all radio systems type of thing.

I don't see the modulation being an obstacle. Most computer radios on the market have a 27mhz module in their line up. With 6 Channels available only in the hobby, I could see and obstacle. But with Radio Shack on every street corner, you can get up to 12 crystal sets within the legal 27 mhz R/C range.

Everyone runs the same type of material. There are weight limits at most tracks. You will find that some bodies have a lower CG than others. The low CG bodies will be more popular for racing, for that reason.

The Mini-z has great aftermaket option parts support. There are so many possibilities in this area. But not all necessary......
