T_T *cries im about to break down, and buy a clone...

arg..dammit i want a mini z soo baad...and i see these clone miniZ on ebay for like 20$..
i dont own a mini z, but ive been wanting one since i laid my eyes on them...
now i was thinking of doing what most people do with clones..is replace all the crappy parts with real authentic parts and bodies and such...
thats kinda what i want to do, since purchasing a real mini z would make me not want to tinker with it that much...

well..just had to get that off my chest,...
im going to buy a clone that has a skyline and audi TT body, but im going to buy a real FD rx7 body. and a bunch of other stuff..

well guess you guys can beat me, since im always ratting on clones...
*prepares for gang beating

Ever think about the Mini-X? It is supposedly faster than many modded Mini-Z's and has 4wd making it more fun on more surfaces.

They have really crappy clear bodies though

Any way you go good luck!

MTL, DO NOT BUY A CLONE !!! Unlike BC-Gs, where the clones at least resemble the original, the clone Mini-Zs are nothing like the real cars! Underneath the body they are unupgradable pieces of junk! Save your money and put it towards a real Mini-Z. If you are really set on buying a clone, I would suggest that you first go to Mini-ZRacer.com and post a thread "Are the Clones as Good as the Originals?" and see what people have to say.

judging by your response tinyrc, doesn't that mean that they will eat him alive if he posts such a thing?
