R/C Nissan 370Z by XMODS

DIGItonium · 02-14-2010, 11:08 AM

I spray painted the Z and GT-R and made my own mods for LED headlights and brake lights (dim when in motion).

The Z body sort of got destroyed in the process (messed up the first time), but this is the best I could do:

What kind of paint? Anything special?

I'm afraid so. However, if nerding out like that is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

It's a Tamiya Model I ordered from Amazon, I had to put it together with the pictures, because the instructions were written in Japanese.

I've put a few of the Atomicmods employees' kids through college:

A Gen1 Skyline, EVO GT-R, EVO 370Z and EVO Titan. The Titan has the lift kit, all-wheel drive, stage 2 motor, lower gears and two sets of lights and has been rolled a few times in the parking lot.... The 370Z only has an ABEC1 unshielded bearing kit. The GT-R has the stage 2 motor and all-wheel drive. The Skyline on the other hand...

*deep breath* AWD, ABEC1 unshielded bearings, machined billet aluminum chassis components (if it was plastic, it got replaced if an aluminum part existed), aluminum drivetrain components (same story), 2x2 stacked 4562 FETs (that were a major PITA to solder on), on/off switch delete, billet aluminum motor heat sink, aluminum ridgeless wheels wrapped with soft compound tires, blue locking wheel nuts, Li-po batteries (7.4V), Atomic Z2 high current motor and a blue Switchblade chassis with a spare Skyline body for driving. You seriously don't want to know how much I've sunk into just this little 1:28 scale RC car! But at least it's pretty quick ~34mph:

OMG AWD R/c car dyno FTW! if i owned a tuning shop i'd have one of those so that everytime someone asked for a free or ridiculously priced dyno pull i could wip that baby out and go "sure just so long as it fits on here and weighs no more than 5 pounds"
