Here's a pic of a mini-z chassis. just thought a couple things were interesting. First, you'd have to modify any Mini-Z bodies to fit, since it appears the way they mount is completely different. Also, note the motor BEHIND the rear axle, with a direct drive set. Gotta be hell on the right hand turns *lol*. I dig the center shock to the motor, on top ot the rear independent. But overall, I think we got 'em beat on a couple things. I noticed there are a LOT more bodies for the Z's, but I think we've got the customizing edge by far. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like the Z can be "tuned" with different body parts, but rather just new bodies like the Zip Zaps. I'm only going by what I can see in the pics, so I may be wrong (happens to the best of us *lol*). Just thought it may be interesting to some. Sorry bout posting so much! just happens when I get excited
