New Mini Z MR01 and Overland

I did it... Went back to hobbytown (for those who read my xmod post about this) and decided to try to bargain for their mini z overland and mr01.

The original tags on them were 2001. They had the MR01 marked down to $70 and the Overland $80. I asked one empolyee last saturday if they would come down farther... he said he would sell the MR01 for $50.

I passed thinking it was a bit much. I went back today to talk to the owner of the store and I offered him $100 for both, and he took the offer.

The overland is awesome... The control and range are great compared to the xmods I'm used too. There are also no wires to worry about breaking. I just wish the overland had 4wd capabilities....

The MR01 is a bit slow for my liking. It's easy to control. I was also hoping to be able to use some xmod tires, mainly the foam ones, but it looks like I'm out of luck.

Both look a little more difficult to put Lipos on considering the battery holders are where the bodies latch on. I might just have to 6 cell them instead.

It's nice now having something that drives around on carpet... Leaves a lot to be desired with the xmod trucks.
