The French invented the Metric system and it rules!
This whole miles/pounds/gallons thing sucks in my opinion.
The new "Eurocentric" Metric system is confusing the bejeezuz out of the older generation British polulation.
The only thing they seem to have grasped is the fact that petrol is sold in Litres.
Everything else goes right over thier heads.
Admit it, 320 km/h sounds a damned sight more impressive than 200mph
Haynes Manual: Lightly...
Reality: Start off lightly and build up till the veins on your forehead are throbbing then re-check the manual because this can not be 'lightly' what you are doing now.
hey guys, i just thought of something... i am using normal duracell batteries that you can get in a supermarket or something... if i buy rechargable NIMH batteries, will my speed increase? if so by how much?
Those Alkalines are just plain the wrong batteries to use. NiCads will add more initial PUNCH and then plateau at a slightly lower level. NIMH's will not have that initial punch that NiCads have, but will have a higher level of plateau. Both NiCads and NiMH's seem to "suddenly run out" towards the end of their charge's.
The alkalines you use will start okay at first, but will quickly run down... losing power the whole time.
Personally, I run my cars on NiMH's. LOVE THEM!!!

Have you tried replacing your batteries? The power you'll gain with a nicad is around 35% compared to the alkalines. Also, use a Turbonium. 7 - 9 tooth to start. Charge the batts at 1 - 2 amps if you have proper charger. If it's a GPM/Megatech motor, might wanna install turbonium to protect esc from getting fried.
i have a mini Z dodge viper. is it a palm runner cause on the back of the box it shows palm runners and my car came in the same case as the palm runners do but instead of saying auto scale collection it sayed mini Z racer. and on the sides of the box it says mini Z racer and the front of the box. IM CONFUSED HERE. is my hot viper a palm runner. or is it the nice,fast, and hot mini Z racers???
by the way. i orderd an xspeed motor and a twin turbo. ive heard thaT YOU GUYS SELL THIS SO CALLED BALL BEARING CUSTOM MOTOR. can you tell me how ta get one
You can tell if its a Palm Runner if it comes with a "kiddie" looking controller (blue/silver with no adjustments). You can also tell by the way the thing drives... not proportional and stock... SUPER slow.
The Custom motors from Mini-Z are sold in the shop every once in a while. They're also working on another "upgraded" version motor as well. Check the shop and check it often.

my dodge viper is fast. at least until the batteries get low on me. other wise if you look at the car from a persons view if you were a i/28 scale person. my dodge viper would then be considered a top fueld dragster. just wait till i get the xspeed and the twin turbo in the mail. it gonna be lik six times faster than before!!!
hey guy that is wanting to know which battery gives more power. which iv been readin. go get coppertop batteries. the batteries last longer. about two hours. it took me like 3 days of driving the car for like 45 minutes a day
i think u did get a palm runner..... there's no way a mini-z racer can have that long of a runtime..... and if u think palm runners are fast.... hehe..... then the mini-z racer is about 7-8 times faster.....
oh, and if you're still unsure whether it's a palm runner or not, here's how to check.... use the car's antenna and touch it with the battery contacts.... if u see smoke or hear sizzling, then it's a mini-z racer.... if not, then it's a palm runner.... (don't do it.... i'm only kidding..... if u do it and fry your electronics, don't blame me cuz i just told u not to do it.... )

Where in the world are you reading to get copper top batteries? -- well if you can afford that, and like to fill in land fills with alkalines go for it. 1000 copper top hours will cost 1000$
