Mini-Z Racers

In this episode of DIY Radio Control Hobbies, host Chris Chianelli delves into small-scale high-speed racing with Mini Z-Racers. After an introduction to mini Z-racers, he shows how to ""hop-up"" -- or add performance enhancements -- to the Dodge Viper mini-Z from Kyosho (TM). He demonstrates how to install ball bearing wheels, add a light kit, and how to install a 3-point differential shock system. In later segments, he demonstrates how to construct a portable racetrack using 1/2-inch PVC pipe and offers some racing suggestions.
