Thinking of giving up....
 

Man i must have owned 100 mini cars...and eveyone to date is broken..i guess they are just to weak for me...everytime i try to do a mod something brecks even when i dont do a mod to them something goes wrong ...i mean come on everything goes wrong on um so i guess im gonna say good bye to them tell something better comes along.....

Judg'in by the time stamp on your post you must've been up pretty late and a little tired when you wrote this post.

Let me give you a little encouragement.:D

I'm sure everybody around here has busted a lot of bits/zips. H*ll, I have 2 working Zips and no working Bits. I've got a Tank Clone that I messed up so bad I had to rig a zip motor in it just so it'll work (and a variable resister sticking out to slow it down to match the other motor, it ain't pretty).

I work on model ships as my main hobby (highly detailed sailboats, I've got picts of just 2 on my site), And even I break these cars.:(

Cheer up, the fun is worth the effort.

hehe thanks for the encouragement..ive had one zip and i think i could have avioded brecking it...but the only real problem it had was i took the back wheels on and off too many times so it got really loose...other then that it was a good mini rci was kinda looking into the zz se's but im not sure if i can get one r not

I had a zip that came like that (really ticked me off). I used a soldering iron to slightly push the plastic in enough to hold the axle again. Worked great:D

I'm waiting on the SE though, Thinking about TTTT.:rolleyes:

Good luck,
Rex :cool:

ive alway liked tttt but costs so much :P

lol look at me i have currently owned about 13-15 of these and 2 or 3 work

hehe baby killer FEELS the pain of these cars...but im sune most ppl do...sadly im thinking on getting a new one (i know) wanna see? loks like my sister car so i thought it would be near to have :)...... here the link: http://www.hobbytron.net/Yellow-Blue...-Mini-Car.html

personally i dont fell comfortable around clones but ive heard that shens are one of the best clones

edit: thats a great price to! just if your buying a clone dont get a precious bitchar-A though cheap are really ****y and i dual celled one and it still runs crappy

thanks for the heads up..this does look pretty promising..im voewing to not do ANY mods to it...remind me of this if it ever seems like im going to...no matter how good the mod is im not doing it...hell im not even going to take the back wheels or the body off :) i hope i have enough will power heh

yeah get soem not to mod, maybe 1 or 2 to mod also. try what i did i have a wrecked chassy with good pcb and wrecaked pcb with good chassy, so i pcb swiched and that built up my confidence cuz i was thinking of quitting. Now im gonna MOFSET a car cuz im so puh-rowd im my accomplishment. I no its not much but im happy as this smily :D

I am also going to Mini-Z OverLands.
But, I am going to stay in Its'y-Bit'sy R/C's.
I plan on having plenty of fun, because if you look in my Signature, I am selling my T-Maxx.
I' not a fan of Nitro...

If you were seeling an e-maxx id buy it :)

got my shen today and id have to say its a damn good car..it rides really smooth its only a little loud because the motor has monster power :D and it turns very sharp! it does 180 turns in like 3in radus!! i love it and i hope to keep it for a long time

;) told you the were good

heeh this thing goes as fast as a duel celled tomy...i noticed that tomy cars cant go on the carpet at all..but most clones ive had had no problem with the carpet...and this one however goes like its on hard ground :D

yea, mini RC cars are so hard to mod. The trick is having Small tools and a clamp... I didn't have a clamp and melted my accord wagon shell and it looks like someone shot a rocket launcher into the left door. well I mean a giant bullet or the flash. I have gotten past that modding phase because of that, I find that mods are interesting to read about but I'd rather just race them.

yeah why sit there a mod it when you can be playin with it :D

l@l yeah ive got 9 dead or dying shens and ony one that runs (in my sig) but its hella fast ;)

Yeah, I seriously don't think these cars are worth all those insane mods, they should probably be left on their own for racing and simple fun. It's true that these cars are fully customizable but we should have our limits when we mod them, not to the extent of putting 9V cells on top of the chassis.

I've got a bit char-g that has a spoilt front steering, lost suspension bar, burnt 2.2, broken pcb cover and jammed front wheels. I ended up wasting money on a booster with a different frequency, pulled out all the parts and used them. Now I don't really dare to do anything to it other than using accessories that are original... it's just a hobby to me.

hey cool u visit hobbytron too? be sure to use the coupon codes too if ur gona buy some more stuff from them, u can serch em off of google. mayb i shuld get some of those shens, like a case of 48.
lol jk mayb just 3

and for the modding thing, i havnt had very good experience either, my zz se has a runtime of about only 40 seconds (even wen charged twice) after i tried to fix the steering. so im gona stik to noobish mods, hehe. :p

hmmm i dun get how you guys break so much stuff... the only one i ever broke was on purpose... damn thing would go straight :mad:

just try to be gentle... and dont force stuff... if it dun wanna go, it's not going to. just out of curiosity... what kind of mods are you guys trying to do that breaks so many bits?

thats were i got my shen man :P

What mods have u tried?

Well i havent tried any, so is it hard to mod or wat?

i put a super thin antenna on it and it rocks :D

does that give it more range?
was it easy, and what did ya use?

unsoilerd the big antenna and soilerd on the new one...it give about the same range but looks alot better

What Do u mean by look?
Like the colour or something?

welllll its alot thinner and less fake looking...imagne having a 6 inch wide antenna sticking out of your real car :P

Yeah, that would be pretty ****ed up! LOL!
U got any pics of it?

nah im sorry...if i took a pic my cam is to crappy to even see it :(
