kyosho mini-z

[jbru]

Anybody care to help a newbie? I got a mini-z overland Hummer for my birthday and I am having a blast with it. I am totally new to The R/C world. What should I do to help body roll? 2nd Question. I would like to get as a second car a mini-z Lotus Europa. Can't find one locally. Did find one on Mini-ZRacer.com. Anywhere else I should Look? Thanks so much I can't believe it took me 37 years to find out how much fun this is! Thanks Jason.

Oil shocks would help firm up the suspension a bit, but the best way to help body-roll is to add sway bars. I don't know if there are any made for the Overland (Could be though), but they would comprimise the articulation when off-roading.

For the Lotus Europa, is it a new body? Tower Hobbies, Kyosho's official US importer, has a TON of new cars/bodies on order, so maybe they will have it soon. You could always search the Japanese or other Asian mail-order sites to see if they have it yet.

Thanks, just ordered some oil shocks and new springs from Tower.
