I WOULD LIKE 2 TELL MY STORY ABOUT MY VERY COOL CUSTOM MICRO RC. I HOPE U ENJOY.

MY FIRST RC WAS A CLONE BY THA NAME OF MICRO-XTREME. I GOT THAT 1ST CAUSE I COULDN'T FIND A ZIPZAP OR MICROSIZER ANYWHERE. THA CLONE WAS PRETTY COOL.UNFORTUNATLY MY CURIOSITY WRECKED IT. I TINKERED UNDERNEATH IT EVEN THOUGH I DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING. I LOST THA BODY AND BROKE SOMETHINGIN THA STEERING COMPARTMENT. SO I PUT IT AWAY AND CHILLED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE 2 GET A SKYLINE(WHITE) MICROSIZER FROM KB TOYS. I ALSO PICKED UP THA 2.6 MOTOR AND CELICA(RED AND CLEAR)BODY KIT FROM A HOBBY STORE. I GOT HOME A NOTICED THA DIFF BETWEEN IT AND THA CLONE.IT WAS DAMN 'TUFF. NOW I DIDNT HAVE A SOLDERING KIT BUT I WANTED TO MOD IT SOOO BAD. ALL NITE I WAS ON THA NET LOOK AT ALL THA COOL MODS I COULD DO.BY THA WAY I PICKED UP A FAST AND FURIOUS UPGRADE KIT FTOM RADIOSHACK. THEY DIDNT HAVE ZIPZAPS SO I JUS BOUGHT IT ANYWAY KNOWING I WOULD PICK 1 UP SOME OTHER TIME. I FOUND THAT ALL THA PARTS EXCEPT THA BODY WORKED WIRH MY MICROSIZER. SO I REPLACED THA GEARS AND MOTOR FROM THA MICROSIZER WITH THA TURBO AND GREEN ZIPZAP GEARS. DAMN THIS CAR WAS FAST!!!! THA TURBO MOTOR WAS FASTER THAN THA 2.2. BUT I GUESS THATS EXPECTED.SO I WAS ON QFM WHEN I SAU THA CRIP CAP MOD. I DIDNT WANT 2 WAIT TILL I GOT A SOLDER KIT SO I DECIDED 2 USE A KNIFE. YEAH IM STOOPID. I BROKE PART OF THA CRIP CAP OFF BUT MY CAR STOPED WORKING.ALSO 2 OF THA STEERING WIRES WHERE NOW BLACK. I WAS PISSED. 37 DOLLARS(IM IN THA STATES 4 VACATION) DOWN THA DRAIN. I WAS PISSED FOR A DAY UNTILL...........

I DECIDED 2 CREAT A REAL CUSTOM MICRO RC!!!
I MIXED PARTS FROM THA CLONE.MICROSIZER AND F&F KIT!!
THIS IS WHAT I CREATED:

OUTER SHELL(BODY): RED CELICA WITH CLEAR SPOILER
FRONT TIRES&WHEEL:F&F ALL SEASON TIRES AND MICROSIZER RIMS
REAR TIRES&WHEELS:F&F ALL SEASON TIRES AND RIMS(DIFF STYLE FROM FRONT)
INNER SHELL(WHERE PCB,MOTOR ETC... IS KEPT):MICRO-XTREME(CLONE)
PCB:ORIGINAL CLONE(MICRO-XTREME)
PCB COVERING:CLEAR TOP FROM MICROSIZER
BATTERY:ORIGINAL CLONE
HEATSINK:ORIGINAL CLONE
MOTOR:F&F NOS!!!! OOO YEAH!!!
GEARS: GREEN F&F KIT(2ND BEST I THINK)
SUSPENSION:THA BEST ONE FROM THA F&F KIT(IT HAS THA MOST HOLES,3, IN IT)
AND I THINK THATS IT.....

THIS BABY MOVES!! I KNOW THERE R FASTER SETUPS OUT THERE BUT MAN I CANT SEE A MICRO RC GOING FASTER THAN THIS!!! BUT IM GUNNA GET IT TO GO EVEN FASTER. THE ONLY THING I HAVE CONCERN ABOUT IS MODDIN. I DONT KNOW IF PCB MODS FOR MICROSIZERS WILL WORK FOR THA CLONE PCB. ALL OTHER MODS CAN BE DONE 4 SURE BUT I ALSO HOPE THAT THA PCBs R SIMILAR ENOUGH.I 'M GETTIN A SOLDER KIT SOON SO NO MORE KNIFE FOR ME!!! THATS ALL I HAVE 2 SAY FOR NOW. I JUS GOT IN THIS HOBBIE AND I LOVE. I JUS WANTED 2 SHARE MY EXPERIANCE WITH THA REST OF YALL. ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS R WELCOMED. THANKS 4 YA TIME.
