latest minix setup

[3series takumi]

just a show of what stage my x is at. in a few weeks it wont look like a minix with the cell conversion and motor mod

thats ill takumi. I caught from your thread on the xmod suspension that you used some glue in it? How permanent is your solution and have you figured out a better way to implement it yet?

Also, how fast does that thing go now? you say soon you won't be able to recognize it as a mini-x but basically you're just left with the chassis, the diffs and the wheels...

wish it wasn't 30 degrees F outside, or i might feel motivated enough to go outside and race a bit. and I wish that we had heat controls instead of the old woman downstairs (ah the delights of living in an old house) or i might feel motivated to get off my duff and tinker. i wonder if they make gloves thin enough to allow good tactile feedback when typing? seriously, its cold...

oh yea, and you replaced the wheels :P

i had to chop the top a-arm of the front to fit the setup. was not too much work. i plan on makin instructions or somethin some time soon to give ideas how to do it. good suspesion helps speed alot on uneven surfaces like the street, plus i dont have to take anything apart to swap the springs. i just lift the bottem of the spring out of its cup mount and pull the spring out, then stick it back in the cup

i plan on making a bolt on suspesion tower instead of what i have. i wanted to test out the suspension first though.

the rims come from those xmods. they were pretty easy to put on too. i already posted how i did it
