Alright since IL2mSturmovik z-car master do you know of any of the swept back bodies will fit the truggy [http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...g-Body-MBX6T]? I like the looks of that style body i think they are the cats a$s.

The extended chassis is an incredible improvement, settles it down in the rough and takes little to no steering away!
VERY highly reccomended mod!

RE: The official Z-Car ZMXT-8 Z-Truggy thread
is the stock wheelbase only 343mm? if so, even with the extended chassis its gonna be on the short side. (365mm). im not dis'n this truggy at all. i really like what i see except for the wheelbase. im not say'n anything bad about the kit all im say'n is when i went from a st-r to a rr the added length really settled the truggy alot. the original st-r was 365 wheelbase. it looks like the wheelbase is longer than 343 but everything i have seen says thats the wheelbase. thanks in advance for any help with my ?

RE: The official Z-Car ZMXT-8 Z-Truggy thread
I agreed with (IL2mSturmoviK) about the diff being very durable, they are durable Just look at it this way and I mean this in a good way. If lrp has the same car in RTR version with a brushless system installed in it using the same pinion and ring gears you find in the nitro cars, remind you nothing has change in the drivetrain and yet the gears can withstand the power a brushless motors can dish out. Then you know the gears are very durable. They also have a video clipping, on lrp web site. But im sure you saw it already. Any way just the same my wife brought me one as a surprize, I wanted the pro version and she got me the RTR, But hey im good with that. I just started buying my first modification which was the extended chassis with the extened universel shift they came with it and man it looks so sweet. I can't what to get the rest of the stuff, slowly but surely. Now if only I know how to put pictures on this thread. I can use a little help here guys.

Hi,
I realize this is an old thread, but I would like the topic to stay alive. I am sure you guys are still out there with your Z-CARS. The Z-CAR Buggy & Truggy are growing more in popularity now. I sell them in Canada and am very impressed in the Quality. I am building a large parts supply, but it seems it may not be needed. Z-CAR parts may be getting hard to get, but the parts supply from Z-CAR is the best I have seen in any Manufacturer. Let me know if there is anything you need.

Hi Again Drywallguy,
You didn't put that SH 18 in the Truugy, did you? (just kidding). Thanks for the kind words, that's the kind of response we strive for. Do you have any advice about the Z-CAR? I am not new to Truggies, but this one is new to me. I ordered in the ZMXT-8 PRO, RTR and the ZMXB-8 RTR to try them out. I am almost finished building my Truggy and I am impressed. I wanted to test them out to be sure I was selling something good, but from what I have read and seen, I'm sure I will be good to go all out Z-CAR. When I get it on the track for a day, if there is something to break, I will find it. Everything breaks.
For the engine, I went with POWER, the SH PT28XM1-P8.

Hi Again Mr. Lee,
Hey, I am meeting a lot of new people with the Z-CAR. Everyone is saying good things about the cars. That makes me feel better when I am investing thousands of $$ to make sure Z-CAR drivers have the cars and parts/upgrades they need. The engine may wear out before I break the Truggy because it has a 2 gallon head start. This engine was in my CEN MATRIX ARENA TR. I wanted to get going quick, so to avoid break-in time, I stole this engine from my Arena. If this engine wears out, there is always another 20 or so to chose from in my shop.
I will post some more pics when I get my paint job finished.

Hello Everyone, I didn't realize you guys had a Dealer in the US. I received a call from Johnathon Jenkins of atozrc.net. We discussed working together to market the Z-Car and supply you guys with the parts you need. So keep those Z-CARs rolling and you don't have to worry about parts. You have [link]http://www.atozrc.net[/link] in the US and [link]http://www.terranovahobby.ca[/link] in Canada

These Truggies are Bullet-Proof. I have been racing and bashing mine for a couple of weeks now and I haven't broken a thing. I love this Truggy and I know anyone else that has one will too. I am running the SH PT28XM1-P8 Engine. It may be overkill but it is fun. I am going to try my SH PT2010-XB .21 in it for the next club race. Would't theguys be embarrased if I beat their .28 truggies with a .21.

I don't think many other truggies would survive this.
Z-CAR RULES and soon people will see that !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Again,
I have the extended chassis installed on the ZMXT-8. What is the trick to mounting the body? Looks like I have to cut 4 new holes. Doesn't seem to work with old holes in front or back.
My new Z10 Buggy will be here soon, Can't wait.
Z-CAR is Kicking A** Here

Where did everyone go? Z-Car is growing fast in Canada and it seems there is nothing left in the US. Terra Nova Hobby has expanded a lot. We have a new website that will be up in a few days with a full online store, Forum, Team Driver's Page, and much more. We also have 2 great Team Drivers, who are racing the Z10XB PRO Buggy. They are doing great and showing people what the Z-CAR can do.
At terra Nova Hobby, we have devoted a lot of time and money into promoting Z-CAR and we don't plan to stop. We are stocked to the roof with Z-CAR Kits, Parts (not often needed), and Upgrades. We carry the ZMXB-8 PRO & RTR, ZMXT-8 PRO & RTR, & Z10XB PRO.
KEEP WATCHING FOR OUR ALL NEW WEBSITE [link]http://www.terranovahobby.ca[/link]
