Fast as a stock nitro?

Hi,

Was looking at rebuilding my nitro engine as it's covered in gunk but also saw my broken mini-z monster and wondered if I could get it as fast/faster with enough mods?

Talking lith batteries, stacked fets, upgraded cables, bigger motor, aluminium parts, etc..

Anyone know if this could happen or am I just dreaming? lol

Atomicmods have some cool upgrades that can make it go pretty fast. Take a look at this Video it might be good for a start.

Idk if you would be able to get it as fast as a stock nitro unless you make cusotm spurs and pinions. Im pretty sure the atomicbuilt monster does mid to high twenties.

A stock nitro truck will normally do anywere from mid 30's to low 40's, also depending on how well your engine is tuned

Yes you can,tho the xtal holder is on the other side of the pcb on an 02 compared to the MZM/OL pcb,so would have to be fitted upside down compared to the 02.Other than that the pot/servo motor wires will need making longer too.You'd be better off getting your MZM board fetted tbh.
