-Front Diff almost locked, +100wt silicone oil on diff gears (makes cornering much more controlled)
-Rear Diff almost loose, just normal lithium 1:1 grease on diff gears (makes cornering much more conttrolled)
-Front springs stiff (Blue ones from Xmods kits) (makes steering better and controled)
-Rear Springs medium (Yellow ones from xmods kits) (makes steering on the back, easy, for the front)
-Front Tires more then 30ş. Medium soft compound. (in here, softer will turn agressevely, hard will not steer at all.....)
-Rear Tires really soft to grip, less then 10ş. Softer or very soft compound (GRIP an more grip, always needed for control)
Second:
Well i got this second hand in my home country! And i decided to make it special! Like all my xmods. Stock xmods are "toys". But they got a hell of potencial for a REAL RC's. At least in Micro versions i say!
But you all know that.
Buckets of GPM alloy because the plastic in xmods are "crap" and alloy is the way to go RC. Electrics is the last thing i do, at least on this one :drool:
Ok... back to bussiness...
-Who said GPM? Now is Carbon fiber time... at least on front deck and back!
-Carbon is so light, so strong, so beautiful! So sweet!
-Carbon front deck!
-Carbon back deck!!
-Good view? I think, yes!
-Guess what... POWER time!
-Do not forgeting this cable for the Li-fe baterys!
-Some customs to fit the li-fe ones! (not pictured but i cuted the plastic inside and remove the springs for make the bed for the li-fe baterys)
-This alloy pieces was very hard to find! But i managed to get them! Now i can start the miniz board... "mechanical" is done :stirring:
Allright , rc board time
I removed the "3004" fets and solder 2+2 "3001" fets from my other projects that got laying around, and i made the job right!
-This was the board from my kyosho mr01... that now goes to this gen1 with upgraded fets :drool:
Note that the on/off is soldered to improve power loss, from the swicth!
-I puted the gen1 servo 5 wires ready, and conected them to the mr01 board!
Two wires must be wired together form the pot! because de mr01 board as only 4 wires for servo! But you all now that!

Nice photo diary! This makes me miss my Gen1 XMODS.
But after picking up a Mini-Z 5 years ago, I haven't touched any of my XMODS.
Put a miniz board (AM or 2.4ghz) on all of your xmods, and you will touch your xmods a lot more!
And you will forget a little more the mini-z's! A little more i say!
