ive noticed more then just shrink tubeing on my 350z....
 

hey guys i just got the only 350z that the rs i went to had! plus i got the stage 2 motors and suspension upgrade. well on the transmitter the steering wheel and trigger move smoother then on my older xmod supra, on the supras TX it clicks but on the 350z's TX its smooth and u can hardly feel the clicking. plus the car runs smoother at a lower speed. i am running the red motor in the 350z and it is faster then the red motor with spinbrush magnets in my supra....and at the end of the run the batteries in the 350z were cool and in the supra they are warm....is anybody else realizing these things with their 350z?

Have you ever opened up the 350z? or anyone who has one, maybe the electronics are improved... lol i wish.

nah i dont have the patience to take both xmods apart to check the pcb...lol

If anyone is willing to buy me a 350Z, I will be happy to check to see if the boards are different.:D

cool. new electronics my dreams... maybe because its new? but im still wondering why did they make the battery location not adjustable??

it isnt adjustable because if you move the batts then it interferes with the areas that the sideskirts screw into...

thats gay.

Well, i just bought an 350z today, i think its a ton better in person... pictures just make it look dumb, i opened it up and i havent noticed anything different, but i have noticed it handles better, and is smoother.. plus the heatshrinked antenna wire is a great idea and that it comes with extra mirrors... i guess ratshack is smarter than we think.

I have just found somthing, the motor that comes with the z, its clamshell is tiny.

i never really looked at the stock motor because the first thing i did was put in a red stage 2 motor lol

i neve looked at the motor as well....
i went and put a 180 size motor in it

is 180 size the kind that is in the micro rs4? if so i have a hpi mod motor for the micro rs4...how do you get the 180 to fit because it looks a little too long to me...

i got a 350z for my gf and put my yellow sb hybrid in it and it smokes my supra with a blue sb hybrid and normal sb hybrid. something is much faster about it and it had me testing the cars electronics and the 350z seemed to have a higher current at the motor than the supra. i measured the batteries at the rear first then in the same place with the motor running then on the motor itself, i even tried using the same batteries on both cars. the 350z is getting alot more juice.

Got any numbers so we can see the differences?

Any word if the Skyline or if all xmods from now on will have those better changes internally?

yeah the skyline probably will be improved like the 350z

god i hope this is all true. my rc10's getting a little too expensive. ill finally have a reason to fix up my x's again. wonder if the replacement electronics will be the new version too. and the car being more controllable at low speeds is probably to the controller not the car. the servo in the car is full propo the controller isn't. someone ought to take apart their controller too.

I hope its true that the new ones are faster. Anyone able to confirm this? because I really want to buy one if its true before going on a race against my friend on sat.

i noticed this...

is anybody elses tagged Z?

my white supra was 1km/h faster at 17km/h than the 350Z on my speed checker. i think it's because I already greased and adjusted the gears so they mesh well on the supra. the supra has also been broken into.

my girls 4-cell 350z with the blue sb motor is just as fast as my 5-cell supra with a yellow sb motor. anyone have any idea why?

in what aspects? top speed? acceleration? theres also alot of factors.

ive noticed better acceleration but i think top speed is the same

my black skyline i just bought has that N on the front cover plate thing whatever you call it (same spot as yours)

maybe they mean "new type"!?!?!?!?!?!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

or nissan, or nice, or nick (the designer of the xmod chassis)

OK, I'm workin on my friend's 350, it has s2 yellow, ligths,ballbarings, and I added a skidplate. it has an N and the nissan sign, the odd thing is everytime I put fresh bats, its drains it quick!!!! like within 1min it would run then after its would wine down to a crawl...... wtf?

check the controller battery ^

I did that too......hmm odd maybe I have discovered the first defective 350......... :I stand proud:

in every way it is faster. i put a 5th cell in her 350z and now it makes my 5cell supra look like a slug.

how can it be faster?

maybe you guys just think its faster;)

someone take it apart so we can comfirm!
