ok check this out
my roommate asked me about this and i figured the pros at this forum can respond:

how about hydraulics that actually work for a zip/bit?
it could be magnetic or whatever so it worked, but i wanna see this mod done to a mini!

I don't think this will EVER be done, for several reasons.

For true effects, it would be too hard.

And, it would look stupid and wouldnt move enough to notice from 5 feet away anyway.

well once you actuall GET you zipzap you may wonder about other (as you put them) "stupid" modifications.
as for me i will look at the 2 zip racers i have, then work on the 4 zips i havent gotten to open up yet!

Go ahead, waste your time on it. I'm sure you'll do well. *cough* break his zipzap and waste hours of time *cough*.

I really dont thing it would be possable to fit everything u would need to make them work in a ZZ

ok now,
several of you are saying i may break my zip or waste my time or do something stupid etc. remember how i began all this .
"I would PAY for this mod" see that doesnt include me putting my surgical hands to the circuitry or anything.

but still.........how about using tiny speakercones. therefore when the car turns the magnets will be hit by the car, and the electricity can be used to lift that corner by the attached speaker cone...thereby giving the resultant image of hydraulics lifting that front corner.
or maybe something simpler that just attaches to the car and chassis to hold it up at first then when ya pull up tot he line it lets it drop down a half inch or so (remember this is still kinda scale

)

well, the possiblility of it wouldn't be impossible but it would be definetly difficult, very difficult and would probably be accomplished by a very good craftsmen (or women

)

The speaker cone ideas might work, provided they were small enough.

Yo'd have to work something out for increasing the travel of the struts however.

You're only thinking of doing the front, right? Couldn't see how to do it in the back.

I agree with you here! After seeing pictures of people making their tiny RCs from scratch Nothing is impossible. I took appart one of those expensive 35mm cameras and it wasss full of tiny coils they use to move things around, about half the size of ZZ motors. So I can see this happening if someone has the talent and time!

thats the spirit. keep that wonderful thinking going on...if it werent for the "impossible" things attempted big accomplishments (ie mt everest) wouldnt have been done.
thanks for any input ideas into tis thread...perhaps we will get one of those "pros" wiht the desire to check out and attempt this mod.....thn=en ill buy one...maybe
