The ABC models are ok, but for some or should i say many they are problems. Broken parts, etc etc etc..........I look at this way for a mini style car I eel they ok like just the tripmate and mini-z........
I owned a few mini-zs a tripmate a puchu maru and I not really happy about the part quility of the ABC cars. True they building them better, but still you better have a good supplier of parts.

JUST my 2yen

I have been folllowing the mini car boom since the mini-z was born. Here, the mini style cars are booming big time, not many people drive ABC car. The have their following but its not that big.........So Let not get ahead of ourselves with saying I don`t know what I am refering too ok?

aHHH.... My friend....I was referring to "myself" and your you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I was putting the (**) in there because "I" don't make too many comments on here..and I wanted to refer to your coment since I can see your very into the mini-car stuff.

Your understanding of my last comment was incorrect. so, my appologies for the misunderstanding. I love to read about this mini-stuff and wanted to put my "little" 2 cents in.

Best regards.

I am into racing mini-z F-1 pretty big here. I even have a lexan body (Mercedes CLK) for my F-1 Its has all mods but turbo. So far..I haven't a need for the turbo yet.

We are going to have the largest mini-z track in the usa. (we think)

Check out the track

Is there a website for these ABC cars where I can find out some more on them?

Thanks.

That thing was like a rocket. I gotta get one of these some day. The bodies look real nice aswell. How much would it take to get it up to that kind of speed? I think I might have already asked this, but does anyone have any idea of the stock speed of these little cars? How big are these compared to the Mini-z? How do these compare to the Mini-x?

I am not a big fan of these cars, but I know I will want one to add to my collection after the Sonic Yokomo hits the market!

tinyrc · #58 08-18-2002, 01:41 PM

Bez, they are bigger and faster than Mini-Zs, and closer in size to the Mini-X (100-115mm vs. 103mm).

Usagi,

The ABC's are not that bad at all. I've been running mine since 2000 and the only time i ever broke parts is when I lose control (full speed 50 mph range) and suddenly hit a gutter or something. Other than that, on a regular track or set-up, it's GREAT!

*crosses fingers*
Is that C5 body lexan? I doubt it but its worth asking. If it is where did you get it.
