ZZ MT and idea for everyone

penguin · #1 06-28-2006, 10:12 PM

This is my first mod and I am happy how it turned out.( I hope the pics show up)
I modified the following:
Articulation Mod
2 MT battery packs in parallel
5 gear mod
Steering mod with a red zz motor
guitar string antenna
and found a good way to attach a car body onto articulation moded chassis.

First of all, the twin battery MT packs in parallel provide UNBELIVABLE results. Today I ran this little truck for at LEAST 15 minutes. I started out with an experiment to find out how long this guy will run for. I went about 10 feet there and back on hard wood floor for about 10 minutes and then ran it over things and tried to make the battery run out. It did not!!! I actually became bored in the process of trying to drain the battery. After a long while I gave up. Also check out how I attached the Nissan z body onto the articulation modded chassis. If you guys did not try this, then do for your benefit. Its the plastic platform onto which the car body is attached to in the zip zap package. It fits any body wery well. This way, you can switch any body for another on to the chases in seconds and without gluing anything or making it temporary!!! The car body is very stable and will not come off in any direction except for when you pull it up. I added a little bit of tape so the car body would not move up. What do you guys think about that technique?

Here is the plastic zip zap package shell on to which car body was originally attached to when you bought it. Easy to attach to and the car bodies can be changed with no effort or glue and nothing is tamporary. The shell it self it taped to the PCB and glued to the back or the chasis.

Nice work penguin!

Some of those mods you did can scare off even seasoned modders (like the Articulation Mod), so kudos to you for being gung-ho and gettin in there!

Nice work with the gears, overall nicely done. I run a boss hog motor on my articulator with 3 cells. That thing seems a bit slow to me, but it will spin all 4 tires on carpet... tons of torque, so I never needed to mount that 5th.
