Mini RC's and Mods


This is a new hobbie I've been introduced to. There are many types of Mini RCs (The most popular being "Bit Char-Gs"), but the two I currently have are Zip Zaps from Radio Shack.

P.S.: All my Zips I immediatly install a "Metal Antanna Support" out've a paperclip.

350Z Ground FX
This is first Zip Modification. It's the Nisson 350Z and I installed Green Ground FX on the body.

350Z Repainted and decaled
I repainted the 350Z Jet Black and put on a few decals.

RX-7
This was the RX-7 from the 2 Fast 2 Furious line. I repainted it red (the same color as my real car), lowered it slghtly, and put a boat on it mainly because it'd never been done before. This car also has a dual cell mod (parallel, for more power and battery duration), and I removed the resistors going to the drive motor (for more torque, but it drains the batteries quicker). Both of these Mods even out the battery life, but give the car more strength. I can do constant dounuts on the dining room table.



This is the beggining of my lasted Mod. I wanted to do something that no one had done before (again), so I started created trailers for my Zips. The hitches on the vehicles are simple hooks (made from blown LED Leads), and the trailers just have receivers that go around them. This is an outboard motor boat that I created out've a leftover lifeboat and model car parts. It has a gas tank made out of a radiator overflow tank and a cooler made from a battery. The tires are plastic so the trailer whips around behind the car (I'll fix that whenever spare parts fall into my lap), and I'll eventually make tail lights for it too.


This is my second trailer (it's not done yet). It's just a Flatbed Trailer for carrying around other Zips/Bits. It weighs more than the other trailer (the RX-7 pulls it with ease because of the Mods to it), and has rubber tires so it wouldn't swing around behind the car pulling it even if it was light enough to (the actual flatbed is metal). I've also been meaning to put in tail lights on this trailer too.
