  • Hi guys,
    I really like this car a lot. I actually ordered a second kit because between the sweet Mini body and the extra parts it was a smoking good deal. The kit is pretty easy to build but is probably mid level skill because you do need to spend a bit of energy making sure everything is just right so that the drive train is perfectly smooth. Overall the car is totally worth $65-110 US (depending on what version you buy).
    Do you drive to wrench or do you wrench to drive?

    Nice vid, I've been waiting for someone to do something with this. I got the same kit and bought the 2 wheel conversion kit also. I wish I didn't in the end because it just doesn't drive well, not enough angle and there's more angle on one side. I spent countless hours trying to correct it aswell as too much money on extra parts. It just has no business trying be a rear wheel drifter and best left as is, which is still fun though. Anyway just wanted to ad to what you had already said. Nice work man

      I guess we can share the misery :^( Gotta admit, I'm stubborn and haven't totally given up yet but hope is fading. I do love this thing in 4WD

    A Wltoys k989 would probably work for donor parts.

      Pretty much nothing fits. Arms, diff case width etc all different

    Is it compatible with Mini-Z bodies? And Mini-Z diffs?

      I don't have a mini-z but I believe the diffs are essentially the same width as a Mini-Q/Wltoys (bearing to bearing) which is too wide. The bodies should fit if you have the right wheelbase and fat/thin tire setup and are capable of installing magnetic mounts (some DIY probably required). Got a video coming on the kit with the Mini Cooper body, which I believe is intended for Mini-Z. The other issue is wheel openings, meaning suspension travel and caster adjustment can create rubbing, so if you play with the setup of the car, the body fit may suffer. Got a video coming on the kit with the Mini Cooper body, which I believe is intended for Mini-Z that covers all this
