i'm planing to get a ~1/24 rc, but i'm debating on two cars:
the Mini-Z or RocketRacer??

what i'm looking for is the fastest car( some thing to smoke 'em neighborhood kids running and their tycos)

as far as i know the stock Zs are faster than the Stock DRRs

but which of them are faster ,when supped up to the max

The DRR will be less money to hop up and will be faster!

Not to push the Mini-X, but stock it will beat both the DRR and the Mini-Z...however there isn't alot of aftermarket parts that fit without work.

the best ~1/24 rc car is the DTM SP/DRR (same car basicly but the DTM is better overall but the price diffrence is worth getting the DRR insted)

The DRR was based off a really old version of something similar to the DTM, but NOT the SP. The SP is totally different.

Also Dynamite did not rip off of ABC, they licensed the use of the old design, hence ABC dropping it, because it was a total POS compared to the new DMT SP.

Also the DRR might be cool for a cheap price, but it is not and never will be a DTM SP.

IRC,

earlier in this topic you mentioned that you replaced the stock rear shock (or Rear Dampner as Dynamite calls it) with a "oil filled adjustable shock for a mini Z". Where di you get this part? is there a part number associated with it and how much was it?

I am having the same trouble. I am making 1/25 & 1/24 plastic models that I would like to mount on my DRR. I am having to extend the chasis to its longest setting and the stock shock is not long enough. Or at least the spring isn't.

Thanks,

Paul

That is definitely one SWEET DRR. I have a couple questions for you though.

First, what type of tubing is that you are using on the body mounts? I do not like the little clips!

Next, it appeasr that you have removed the rear dampner/shock. Did you do something to replace it or are you just running without it.

and last, are you using the stock chasis parts or have any of them been upgraded to graphite or aluminum.

Thanks for your help, I am just getting started with my DRR and looking at what I want to mod first.

Paul

Thanks for the compliment pmlabrier, I appreciate it!

Your answers.....

Toobing..........Standard RC aircraft toobing (pressed down with some effort..its not bad...and verrry effective.

Running without rear damper. So far..the track we run on (huge slot car track at www.slotcar.net does not require much damperage. You will find that its pretty stiff as it is with no dampering.


All stock chasis parts (but not the carbon fiber bumpers I added in addition to the stock chasis)

Hoping to get the full bearing set soon (at a good price hopefully)

HI Bamboo,,

NOPE>....Not lead weights.......that plate is a protective CARBON FIBER plate. (we race on a track that cars can get rear ended many times..)

** The Dinamite Rocket Racer's motor is exposed to everything in the back end. I got hit by a mini-z and the motor moved up slightly and made a bunch of friction on the pinion and spur gear. Had to bring it in and fix it...so now I have a protective carbon fiber plate there to keep anything from hitting the motor from the rear.
