SH Z-Car ZMXB-8 1/8 Buggy - Perfect for conversion?

[Trike]

Thanks guys, I'll wait till hobby people gets the front back in stock. they have the rears in stock at the moment. I noticed the Zcar is $199 again!

I guess I wont be doing any jumps until I get the springs sorted out.

I took it out for a quick test drive late last night, I couldn't wait for the ds1313 to show up, so i slapped in a s3003 :P

All I have to say is, WOW... there is gobs of torque. I was scared to go full throttle since it was dark and I'm not used to the increase in power. This is by far the fastest r/c car i've ever owned.

I've never raced before, so I don't really know how to tune the suspension. But even with the soft springs, it turns really nice. Hopefully I'll start learning about tweaking the suspension. But I need to get the spring issue sorted out first.

Just wanted to say thanks to MetalMan for guiding me with the BL setup, and everyone else that has tolerated my n00bish questions. I'm definitely grinning ear to ear after two mins of driving it in the street last night. I can tell it's a beast! Hopefully I'll be able to cycle the battery a few times this weekend to get an idea of what the runtime is like on 6S.

When the K5.9 dies on my XL, I'm seriously going to consider converting it to BL.
