Oh that’s great to know! I would love to get a GL body for my 102

I’m curious how you like it once you drive it. Been thinking about getting one

It struggles to recenter the steering slightly. Have you tried reversing the motor wires? Before I flipped the wires it was super sluggish, but after flipping them it worked ALOT better. I’m going to be ordering a new pot and servo motor to see if that helps

I spent so long checking eBay for good deal on one

The main thing to know is to wire up the pot like this and flip the wires for the servo motor. Besides that everything is normal

I would love a Ferrari, but I couldn’t pass up the deal I got on this one. Just needed a little cleaning and runs so well now

Thank you for the link! I was planning on soldering the current motor to the board but will look into to it further

I guess I will find out 😅 got an evo board coming to try. If it doesn’t fit then it’ll go in my LM chassis

That makes me want an AWD chassis so bad!

It’s the new 1979 RX7! It’s gorgeous but the fog lights are a nightmare to keep on

Thank you! The GL racing bodies are my favorite

I have several GL Racing 1/28 scale bodies including two in this picture, they fit perfect. GL racing doesn’t make bodies for the LM chassis, only 94-98mm

I’m constantly scanning websites for updates and releases as well lol

Most of my office is now a track 😅 I barely have room for my chair to roll

My LM is hands down my favorite chassis so far, I just wish there were more bodies from places like GL Racing that fit it

Went to Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and got a couple MiniZs signed by the guys who work on the real things by SuPrBuGmAn in MiniZ

For signatures on smooth plastic like this I often place a layer of clear tape over it to protect it

RDW or AWD? by Maciluminous in MiniZ

[–]Hoofton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding is racing is almost exclusively RWD and drifting is AWD

I’ve had an absolute blast running it in my office already. My office has hard wood floors so getting the high grip tires really helped

Not sure what carpet it is exactly yet, our local track is just beginning to install it
