Hi, I've recently heard of Mini-Zs when I got an Xmod. And I've looked around and them seem pretty cool. What I want to know is how much are these(Overlands, Enzos, Racers, and F1 series)? Are all of the series the same speed or does each have it's own different speed? I know these are proportional but has there been any steering problems with stock mini-zs(eg:One side turns sharper than the other or the car doesn't run completely straight and moves to the left or right)? I want a good car that can run inside and outside but doesn't lose any speed yet has well proportional steering(I hope I'm not asking too much from a mini-z). I have an xmod and I spend a lot of time just trying to get it to steer equally on both sides, will I have to spend time with a mini-z to fix something so simple yet affects something major? Because the money I have spent on my xmod I could have bought a mini-z already ;) I was thinking of getting an Overland but they look like when you take a turn they'll just turn over and it doesn't seem to run well on asphalt. So I'm thinking of either an Enzo or an Overland. If there are any other differences between these two please go right ahead and post(I would like to know the speed too). Because from the videos I've seen these look great and they seem like something I'll stick and be satisfied with. Oh and I plan to just keep it stock if I do get one :D Thanks! As long as these things run as well as people say it does compared to an xmod I'll be very happy.

I baught my mini z last night.... you could say i graduated up about 50 steps from an Xmods... The quality is far better in all aspects. it feels like a solid hobby class car. once you dial in the steering, it stays quite straight. take it out on a paved road and dial it in on a long strait away. i have NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER..

I got the enzo today. It's the best. I also have two other cars, 911 gt2 and altezza. the gt2 had steering problems, it was jittery but the altezza was good to go. Both were in the old boxes. I would definately get the latest and greatest mr-01 or mr-02. You will be happy.

Thanks guys, I chose an OL as my first Mini-Z. Skyhigh, sorry I didn't see that sticky up there. If any moderators want to delete this thread, go right ahead. After seeing that sticky up there I feel like my thread took up a bunch of space here :(
