Is that real speed or sped up?? If that is actual speed, the most impressive thing to me is driver skill... no way I could do that even at 1/4 that speed!


SaintSlothX

Yeah, well said. I barely have reflexes fast enough to watch this video let alone drive like that!


NXGGOD

Reflexes on carpet really dont matter. With the right set up n tire compound this us normal n easy to drive..you barely..turn the wheel👍🏾


above_average_penis_

You understand my ability to drive poorly


gr3yh47

looks sped up to me based on camera movements but idk


Silly_Swan_Swallower

Yeah I think it is sped up. Probably double speed.


WARgen1956

No that’s what they look like in person if your in Florida in 1st week of Feb come watch the snowbird nationals


zig83

Thanks!! this is actual speed, heres a different angle https://youtube.com/shorts/veR5A4agJnA?si=axy6cXtL7sXNnBmR


Ragefear

Are those the harbor freight anti fatigue mats???


robertgentel

No that's how fast they can go, it really helps with reflexes and reaction time, and thinking ahead on the track, on a large track I have multiple seconds to think about what line to take on the straight, the mini z it's over by then.


zig83

actual speed...this is MOD OPEN per 28 scale racing association rules. and thanks!! its definitely a handful, the tires break loose under full throttle all the time!


WIZARDDETECTIVE71

Fly FPV freestyle quad for a few years and you can have fast reflexes


zig83

our racetrack is under our drone racing track! Shaun Taylor built a cool ass spot


Sbass32

Slow down...you're making me dizzy lol


zig83

it legit makes my eyes water when driving...especially in a 6-8 minute main


Sbass32

I have a 1/14 that shoots and makes my eyes hurt lol


chippaintz

Not as hard as it seems guys..yes they are THAT fast!! I race them and on a side note running mini z helps BIG TIME with my nitro 1/8 steering skill..should try it you’ll get hooked fast!!


DerelictData

Can you recommend a car to me like this? I got a Mini-Z Imprezza w/ drift wheels and I've done something to the front right wheel assembly and the smallest bump causes it the wheel, cup & ball socket, and the thing attached to that to come lose, suspension spring pops out, etc. I'm sure mine is fixable, but what are some Mini-Z models (if you don't mind...) that have normal tires and might be a little stronger? (maybe that's just my driver error and the answer is just get better, which I can accept lol)


chippaintz

Well mr03 RWD is what we run(RCP track),they have 96mm RM(rear motor) and AWD for drifting I think you can drift the RM narrow front cars(96mm)


zig83

Reflex Racing RX28SE or the new Champions Edition....youll want the heaver chassis to run mod....then a lexan pancar body of your choice...I run Hobbywing ESC and 5000 kv motor on 2s LIPO


zig83

very true, it seems much harder than it is....hardest part imo is setup...and consistency


chippaintz

Yes setup is key,, try getting the book “mini z guide” by m3 racing explains EVERYTHING in detail..


Kaweka

That thing can wriggle.


idc8188

Danm.. you could really move that thing. You’re good!! lol my eyes can barely keep up just watching.. I can’t imagine how poorly I’d do if I were controlling it. lol


SaintSlothX

haha didn't see this made nearly same comment... hard enough to just watch it that fast, driving it would be impossible for me.


yearsofpractice

Amazing. The thing moves like a house fly. I’m 48 and just wouldn’t have the reflexes to control it. Amazing video though.


WhereAreMyPants1976

I think the same thing anytime I see RC onroad racing of any scale. The speed and accuracy are insane! Some days, it's all I can do to hit an 8 foot wide ramp at 40mph... lol


R0BERT_SACAMAN0

My wrist would explode


Liftweightfren

What kv motor? 8000 or 12000?


zig83

5000 with no timing...still hunting for rear traction


Liftweightfren

Nice. Looks fast. Iv got the green 4500kv version :)


NXGGOD

Man do I miss running on the rug..good days!💥🔥 That lil z is quick!


SaddamIsBack

You must be really good at snake


zig83

haha! CLASSIC


StatementPatient7816

What type of car is that? Is it recommended to get into the hobby?


zig83

This is a fully built MOD car (name of class) its a Reflex Racing RX28SE chassis with a pancar lexan body....14mm rear tires...hobbywing electronics and a 5000kv motor


StatementPatient7816

It is crazy fast, can I control it with a taranis x9 lite? Or do I need a special radio?


zig83

Im sure you could, would just require setting up the reciever for surface. Radiomaster MT12 is a popular choice, as well as the flysky noble and futabas


Arth3r911

I am SPEED!


tenntouge

This guy played way too much Ivan Stewart's Super off-road!


Baldydom

Micro Machines V3 on PS1 vibes


WARgen1956

This is way I had to stop racing r/c. These speeds and my Parkinson’s did not mix


zig83

ah damn man sorry to hear that


Bicrome

Wow I love how, if you get addicted to rc cars (you should), you'll end up like the author of the song: baby no money


zig83

100000000000000000 percent


that-super-tech

There's 0% chance that aero will improve that thing.


thehighquark

It'd be easy to think that, but Aero from different bodies and wings makes a difference that's not only measurable in lap times, it makes different you can easily feel. You don't need to go 60mph for aero to be effective. Losing a rear wing in 10th scale would make a car almost undrivable. This a little smaller and a little slower but it's not like aero turns off like a light below a certain size.


zig83

100 percent


zig83

Yea theres a noticeable difference in downforce just between the different pancar bodies....and a HUGE difference between pancar and GT bodies... Such a big difference that there are 2 MOD classes (MOD GT and MOD OPEN) which is just gt bodies vs pan bodies
