It's great to see many cars on the track at the same time. I'll be moving house in a few months, and hopefully I'll find a space to setup a Mini-Z track. If so, I hope I can find a few friends to race with me

@@mini-z_me We are now in our 3rd year and have a great little club going and regularly have 15 plus drivers which is great considering mini z is so small in the uk. It does take a lot of effort to run the club but very rewarding and a lot of fun. We started as only really two of us with cars but soon as I put the word out and started putting on races regularly it’s soon became very popular.

@sussexmicrorc 5 күн бұрын
Hi yes you can put a bearing in there no worries however there is no need for a bearing as it doesn’t rotate and perhaps a fraction heavier. You may have had some spare bushings in with the spares bag, you could even 3d print one if you have access.

Hi there. Thanks for all the effort in making the video. I did something different from you. I removed the entire plastic parts which holds the esc and battery and merely let the ESC be exposed at the bottom while keeping only the top half and let it rest on the metal chasis. The metal chasis acts as a giant heat sink for the ESC in such a configuration. Then I squeezed all the wires on the chasis and it sits comfortably there. After essentially removing everything, I was able to use bigger sized Gaoneng batteries which are 1/5 the price of the Losi battery and fit it inside the whole setup and close the cover. Runs well and longer too. I get a 25 min to 30 min run time with one battery. I got 6 at hand now for less than USD 50. Thanks once again for inspiration.

@danielc5191 2 ай бұрын
@bobbyspenser7304 Hi. I took out the part LOS-1772 and the whole chasis is empty and bare on the inside. This allows me to put the esc without the bottom but save the top cover onto the metal base of the chasis (which acts as cooling) and the rest of the wires can be stuff at one side and there's still tons of space for the battery I showed. No discernable difference between that and stock. I think I have a winning combination. Now I just need to make sure I don't burn out my motor because I got too much run time.
