Proud owner...

[niceguyteddy]

I am now a proud owner of a mini x.

Its great, so small and yet so perfectly formed. I am now losing the front left dog bone and will fit a spring. Have tweeked the camber (front and rear) so the handling is much improved, only spins when you want it to!!

Need to get ball races all round and maybe try the softer set of springs.

Those dyed chasis look cool! what is the dye you use?

I am as you can see in England, i need to find near-ish supplier (europe would do). It is so expensive to import from the states. Ne ideas??

I used to be well into slot racers, the Tamiya 1/32. We used to re-form chasis and bodies, drill gears and chasis, and mod motors. We used to double wind armatures and they would burn out standard brushes and the bushes!! oversized comms are good to try hmmmm where did i put my old jig???

Anyway I am so glad I bought this car and not a mini z, i wasn't tempted even for a bit, they are toys.

I look forward reading and replying to your posts

HI congratulations I ordered mine last Friday and mine hasn’t come yet. I want to drive it so much. The dye they use is Rit dye umm a link is far better than any words so here . I heard that the darker the color the better. Can’t help you anymore than that because I don’t live in Europe all I can say is your lucky you got all the cool cars there like a Subaru impreza wrx sti!

I'm sorry the forums here are kinda dead and its sad after all this car is better than the mini-z but yet the mini-x forums are dead. Its a big injustices but please dont stop posting i will post what I do to show just what it can do.

Thanks guys.

I have sorted dog bones with a rubber gromit from a servo! Runs great, got a bit more camber on the front now and handles really well. Should get ball races soon and want to dye chasis in two colours.

Will see if I can dig out any of my old armaures/spares.

Dont have digi cam so cannot easily post pics. Will do If I can.

Cheers guys.
