MINI-Z knock-off on ebay
 

Whats the deal with these mini-z knock-off's on ebay are they any good there only like $15 or $20 are they proportianel steering and throttle or are they more like the palm runner's

I was wondering the same thing..
 

but i was wondering more along the lines of are the parts interchangeable with the real thing?

From the looks of them the rims and tires will fit and maybe the bodys

No - avoid these at all costs! Check http://mini-zracer.com for more opinions on these. :)

Ok will do

I can see how tiny rc doesnt want you to buy those. they are affiliated w/ miniz.com. Anyway those ones on e-bay dont have proportional steering or throttle, but all of the stuff works w/ miniz parts and options. Horrid suspesion, nofront shocks at all.
that causes problems.

actually i justgot one for $24 they are hot u can use all of the upgrades for koyosho i got one made by haipao is really cool you
can get two three and four speed upgrades so dont talk if u dont know:mad:

Do they have proportional steering and throttle

you were ripped off.... u were scammed.... buy or test drive a REAL Mini-Z and you'll see many differences. HeiPao cars are not proportional...

screw the speed upgrade, I doubt those cheap clones can go as fast as the real thing...

U can get Palm Runner for $12.60.. so u got rip off!

first off NO i didnt get ripped im gettin a vid cam ill show u how fast it really is

So you guys are saying that Palm Runner and HeiPao clones are NOT proportional steering/throttle cars? Are they upgradable to propo?

If not I'll just stick to my BitCharG/MS stuff for a while longer. :(

i no that mini isint proportional but i dont know about the palm runner.
there are only two things wrong with mine it isnt proportional and no front suspension but my friend told me that all u have to do to get it to hve afront suspension is to get the top peice of the front that holds the wheels in place replaced with one from koyosho ill do that as soon as i buy one its like 7$

hey ppl i just finished a new proj i took the wheels of of a car model and put them on my mini z on the tires it says goodyear nice touch!
