MIRI MINI ROCK CRAWLING ADVENTURE!!! The Rocky adventure of mini crawler.

A nice day to spenty holidays outdoor for the whole bring afternoon non-other than enjoy my custom made hobby quality mini rock crawler R/C model. Its been continous two days being outside testing various rocky and dusty obstacles challenging both man and mini machine. First it was difficult for a small r/c crawler to move over rough terrains bigger than its own size despite also having 2WD system on its rear wheels yet thankfull to modified flexy suspension axle it manage to grab any ground via its tyre and keep on rolling through the force of high rpm motor. Also custom ESC stacks on KYOSHO micro proportional R/C quality motherboard give advantages to this mini monster such as brake drag system, power current transfer to the motor, ABS and smooth proportional steering output. Few ups and down happen along the way, on the early run it skid on top of the clif and tumble 360 plus 1 story high and spill out guts of battery packs and its holder, thankfull nothing serious happen to the r/c models just a very very small scratch to the HPI/XMOD body shell. Very durable!! As for me some time it stuck at places that is too difficult for me to reach especially if it stuck at the endge of slippery cliff side. With only 3 set of battery pack used it took me 4 hours to finish it off. Very economical and longer fun and exciting moment. Todays way enjoyable day and definately have no regrets building this worthy off-roader.

Happy labour day! time to enjoy!

Ah!! its holiday today. Time to ignite back passion on mini-z rc cars, through sleepless night i've fixed back and tune in the X-mod and MINI-Z for next afternoon run.

Monster NSX!

Look what i found inside my old dusty treasure chest, lol. Its monster 1/28 chassis with empty slots for RX, servo and motors. I might plan to put unused KYOSHO RX board, servo and TAMIYA Atomic tuned motor on this monster powered by NANDA 1000mAh 6V battery soon for Saturday off-road hi-rev. Since i didn't have any suitable body shell i'm going to use XMODS's. My friend invited me for rock crawling but i'm going to do so high jumping big air time. Hope the chassis could handle 20 meter drop.

Hey look what i found at clearance sale! XMODS!

Highly addictive to mini's and irresistable bargain from local r/c shop i manage to grab the first generation X-MOD and the best part is that i only have to pay less than half the price. Awesome bargain! XMODS whose previous distributor was Radio Shack and manufactured by HPI Racing made this 1/28 complex beauty which meant rival to KYOSHO MINI-Z but XMODS left too far due away from professional R/C status to its "TOY" level quality and not close to real R/C racing performance. But hence its chassis built was interesting enough to catch attention to avarage mini-z collector. It has very complex built with independent wishbone suspension, soft dampers, 4WD, servos, sealed differential, interesting driveshafts and moddable body kits, I also came in a carrying case stuffed with tools and useful parts for tweaking on the fly. Being labeled as CHEAP version of 1/28 scale as mentioned across the internet it still holds interesting value to me as it can be easily mod of fused its chassis to high performance KYOSHO electronics or just port KYOSHO's MINI-Z parts onto the base chasis of an XMOD for independent and cheap source of 4WD mainframe. Its nice to have one.
