Belt driven 4wd brushless lipo, that is going to be fast!

Atomic's main wepage

Instruction manual

you can of course find it on their social media page as well.

Wheelbase options:
90mm, 94mm, 98mm

sadly, does not appear to support 102mm

updated the site to include this chassis and moved this thread appropriately.

Anyone make a small enough Rx that is compatible with ASF/MHS? Doesn't look like Atomic's is. They do offer the car with a small ESC but then you still need to find a small enough Rx.

Guess could stick in a micro Spektrum or something.

the whole frequency issue is what has kept me from dipping my feet in the pool so to speak. i do not want to support multiple systems nor the expense of a higher end radio to support multiple systems. That and a servo that matches the speed, re-centering ability and responsiveness of the stock servo.

I have one running in an Atomic AMZ, works great.

The servo is still a problem, for all the shortfalls arch2b has pointed out. Supposedly the digital MG servo is the answer, but I'm not paying $35 for that Probably have some better options if using the floating servo mount, but I missed the boat on that, sold out at EGR Mart before I even found out about it.

I have a 2WD AMR with savox 261 servo.... And it runs great. I'm on the pre order list with a shipped BZ with Metal ESC. There is a small RX ASF unit available at EGR Racing for U$19.

Pretty excited with this one!

So my preorder finally arrived from egrmart. While I was assembling it (wish I had smaller hands) I noticed that I was missing an aluminum 2.5 upper bulk. There were (3) 0 degree upper bulks and (1) 2.5. I really dont want to have to ship the car all the way back to Hong Kong. Any suggestions?

Been out of touch with the newest and greatest next best thing for Mini-Z recently but I am trying to get back into the swing of things and this caught my eye... anyone have anything decent to say about it? For the price it looks promising.. a lot better than the $600 paper weight with the x-power logo I have sitting in my pit box. Anyways I am probably gonna order one and see how it goes.

Had the opportunity to see one in action this past weekend. Impressive, really good quality as you might expect from Atomic. Once the silicone based Atomic tires were discarded and a set of Kyosho rubber installed it was devastatingly fast on a too wide open RCP circuit in the hands of a highly skilled larger scale Touring car pilot. Car equipped with 7.4 Lipo and 5500 VE motor is a good package as a support class or open mod competition class in conjunction with Mini-Z's. I wouldn't blend the two together for regular racing. At full power it was easily 3 seconds per lap quicker, once the throttle was set back to 30% it becomes just slightly better than a well tuned legal 70T on a properly set up 03 chassis. Will they catch on? Possibly. Just don't see a future for another overpowered dart without feathers that has to be detuned 70% to not have an overwhelming advantage over a Mini-Z. Can't see why anyone would want to invest in one for that purpose.

Should the hobby embrace all these offerings from various manufacturer's? Absolutely. They possess the hook for the larger scale guys that incorrectly believe that a Mini-Z is a toy. Wherever possible local clubs should set up a class that keeps everything with a non Kyosho part numbered chassis in a separate class. To do anything else creates the impression that one of these exotics is a must have in order to enter the hobby. However, in a support role they have the opportunity to gain acceptance and perhaps even growth as newer entries to the hobby become more comfortable with the basics and choose to progress to the much faster chassis designs as opposed to feeling that they must just to get in the door..

Thanks for the response, that was exactly what I was looking to hear. I think this is a fun project or side car that is available at a reasonable price. Odviously 4wd is not going to blow away the 2wd but it looks much better quality than the plastic amz and definetly something good to show 10th scale guys who were too afraid of the x-power price tag.
