Spring Suspension
Rare Earth Magnets
New (Gen3) ZZ PCB

where you get all this stuff? thanks

[dabigpig]

well i'm not a zip zap guy but i can help u out with most of that list

Layman's Tri/Dual - do a search for laymans dual cell mod.

Pigtail Cat5 - take a peice of cat 5 wire. u can buy it at radioshack and computer places it's the wire used in eithernet lines and phone lines but any solid copper core wire would work. you remove the normal antena and solder this wire in it's place then twist it around a pen or felt so it resembles a pig's tail.

Spring Suspension - if you can find a pen that has non magnetic springs in it or most slot car springs will work. first cut the spring's to the proper size to fit on the top of the front nuckles (most pen springs u will need to streach to make the springs springey) then you simpily take apart the front end apart and place the cut springs on the top stick of the nuckles

Rare Earth Magnets - goto radioshack and buy some rare earth magnets (REM) and replace the ones that are in the steering mechinism.

New (Gen3) ZZ PCB - not sure but i'm guessing these are the newes't zz's

Tab lowered - well you can take a credit card and cut it so it's the same shape as the front tab then cut the front tab a tiny bit then glue it under the existing front tab.

hope that answers some of you're questions

NX/ShenQiYellow Motor=motor from ShenQi or Rally Racer clone found at KBtoys as well as other places in the US.


Green Gears=from earlier versions of the zz tuner kits that still may be available at some RS stores.


Layman's Tri/Dual=batteries available at Allelectronics.com, they are the NMH-11 packs. Instructions found
here.

Pigtail Cat5=cat 5 antenna mod, wound into a pigtail. Found here.

Spring Suspension=replacing stabilus bar (white suspension bar) in your car with micro springs. Found here.

Rare earth magnets=replacing your existing steering magnets. Gives better steering. Available at RS. Mod info here.

New (Gen3) ZZ PCB=refers to the cars printed circuit board. The newer, the better is general rule of thumb. There's been at least 3 confirmed pcbs, I believe that there is a 4th one. 3rd gen started to be released with the X-men RX-8.

Tab lowered=lowering the tabs on the car that hold the body on to create a lowered effect. Your going to have to search for that one yourself, but here's a hint, look for work done by Ahh5hit!

heh ya what he said just follow the links. most everything you ever wanna know can most likely be found on this site by using the search feature.

anyways, i've been having problesm with my cars driving straight lately, and it just pisses me off. i doubled up on steering springs too, but same problems. right off the bat the car'll just roll into donuts. i dunno whats wrong. guess ill just have to get another !

[aperson]

hey ZipRC sounds like you got one of the copper wires touching a motor wire or battery wire

[ZipRC]

yeah, i'll have to check it out later today. it would be a shame to put this car to waste. but i am getting a GREAT deal from my cousin. a 3rd gen ZZ car with no suspension, hubcaps, tires or motor for 4.50. that's a bargain! all teh working parts for 5 buckeroos! that's all i want from new cars. i have enough custom bodies to last!
