Love these. I bought one a while back and almost immediately bought 4 more for my wife and kids. Got some exercise mat tiles cheap to make our own RCP style track for about $100 cheaper. Would love it if someone organized a race in North Houston!

Man back in about 2006 I had a whole fleet of Z's, track in my basement.. My oldest boy and I were into racing outdoors and wanted some winter time fun between outdoor seasons..Ended up with 6 cars and weekly fun runs with family and friends for about 3 winters.. LOADS of fun..

@wheelie642 3 жыл бұрын

You can set up some braking by trimming the throttle so when you release the trigger it applies gentle reverse. Then use less sticky front tires so you have a little less front tire grip. This way you car is not prone to spin outs and it will feel like it is smoother on the corners. There are a LOT of tweaks that will lead to winning races. Or at least becoming more competitive. Some race tracks require you to remove reverse. Backing up into traffic is sometimes a No No. Also.. they should clean dirt off the track with a mop.

Interesting. I kept spinning it when I released the throttle.

I was heavy into the Mini-Zs back in the day before I got into racing/freestyle quadcopters. They are very fun. I would still be into them if I had the space to build that little track. I live in San Francisco so space is a premium. I knew you would love the Mini-Z because you are a competitive racer. Mini-Zs have been around a long time so I am surprised you haven't run them before. It is great Ethan enjoys it as well. I love bashing around with my 9 year daughter with our Latrax SSTs. They are stock but very fun and capable regardless. The Mini-Z bodies are the best looking around and there are decades worth of bodies and mods out there. Wait until you try the 4WD versions and really go around that track.

I mean, i wanna set it in a way that if my son goes full throttle, the car is only going half the speed... i know what u r thinking bro but you know kids.... i am still pretty sure that the default 'training mode' setting are still too fast for a 4 yr old beginner.
