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

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.

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...

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$
