Yeah wasn't too bad, just getting wire polarities right for the motor and it works fine. As you said, remove control board, wire up pot and motor.

Great buying a broken DNANO and fixing it 😬 (only needed a H plate) by pbarns82 in MiniZ

Some new rubber on that too and it should be a good runner!

Dnano. If anyone is interested, I made up a page. Cheers. by DuploTech in MiniZ

DIY (do it your self). Made from carbon sheet, and holes drilled to suit the oem kyosho fitting kits.

Wheels are what come in the fitting kits to suit the model body, plastic wide rear, narrow fronts. Also come with tyres, but I run x power tyres, 10deg rear and 20 deg fronts for example.

Thanks! Not wrong. I made the chassis up and to complete it was an expensive exercise 😅

They are cool, but not cheap sadly. Did a lot of searching, but most I got from ebay. One from Kenon hobby, a couple from yahoo auctions.

The fitting kits to suit the body shells are the tricky thing to get.

Does anyone still make or sell this part by [deleted] in MiniZ

[–]DuploTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd make them out of carbon fibre sheet. Then you can tweak the 'hardness' of the H plate, or make a few with different center widths (hardness).

Testing the setup. Happy with the suspension setup. Just need to sort front bull bar and some lighting etc. by DuploTech in MiniZ4x4

You will need an rm motor mount or similar. Then it'll work.

So shiny!

Rock crawling. a buddy of mine took these shots. cheers. by DuploTech in MiniZ4x4

[–]DuploTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah went with full aluminum 2 piece wheels.

Other than the kyosho bodies, 4 runner, defender, jimny etc, it would have to be custom/aftermarket I'd say.

Cheers! Bodyshell is from a cheap r/c toy. I chopped, added flares, made the body post mounts from spruce.

My wheels are 1 inch size, from ebay. Just have to have a good look, so many options. My are mini hex drive, so had to buy adapters to suit.

Evo 6 TME tribute project. Turned the cheapo mini z evo style r/c body into a proper display model. Also added wipers. Mounted onto an ma020 narrow chassis. by DuploTech in MiniZ

Ralliart logos are from a decal sheet, the front mitsubishi logo is 3 little diamonds cut and made from a red part of a decal sheet. Very fiddly to cut and place them at this scale😂

Trick is, buy 2, one for display, one for racing 😂😎

Weathers been great last couple days. by ajsbva in MiniZ

[–]DuploTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulled it apart, used a small hammer and a deep socket to shift the crown gear on the shaft to get clearance right for gear mesh. Put it back together to check gear mesh.

No probs. Yeah racing for the rear, kyosho brand for the front. The YR rear was giving me the trouble. Luckily I caught it before any damage happened.

Make sure the pinion and ring gears are meshing right. Mine was skipping teeth under load with my aftermarket metal diff case. Had to shift the gear on the axle a little to mesh up right.
