you can always add weight to ther back, but if you want a rwd car i would get a losi micro desert truck, its basically a SCT but RWD.

Im a mini z maniac and Ill tell you....the mini monsters are a panic to drive.
I converted mine to 2.4 but Kyosho just re released them in 2.4....
I have mad force bodies....jeep cj bodies baja vw .....
The Overland is another awesome choice.....
You can find all kinds of tires and wheels for them as well....

It may be difficult to find some of the MZM upgrade parts now; alloy shock towers, servo cases, ball diffs... but they are loads of fun even without them. If you crash them a few times, you may need to fix/replace the shock towers or servo case, I know I have done that many times.

For racing, they arent the best, since they dont have indipendant suspension. But if you are racing MZM's against eachother, you all have the same handicap.
