Love the handle bitzfrom_uranusid="blue">

By the way the body looks great! What is the scale size of the minis? never payed attention too them. They are like little babies you are scared that you will break them[)] Really when you get as old as i am you need real big cars so you can see them when they get too far away[]

[TWINSET]

Mini Z's are 1/24, 1/25 or 1/28 depending on who you believe (Mondo step in here)

For body swaps (which is why that body is on ebay) Revell 1/25 kit bodies fit nicely, after a bit of bodging modifying

[DJTheo]

Twinset, how is someone supposed to know the scale if he doesnt know what a Mini-Z is?

[TWINSET]

Fair point, but he bid on it 24 hours before asking!

[WillyChang]

btw Kyosho has released a range of not-so-MiniZs recently... I think they're about 1/14th. RTR in the same fashion, flashy painted display-quality bodies eg Modena, Enzo and F40.

Andy,

tell him it's a 1:10 body, but he will have to put his chassis in a washing machine and turn it to 90 degrees (how much fahrenheit?), then his chassis will fit the body.

Thats plain silly - but it might just work[8)]

[snollan]

Look you didn't answer the question is it 1:10? [:I]

[TWINSET]

Ok, no it's not.

It's for a 1/24, 1/25, or 1/28 scale Mini Z(deja vu or what!)

The wheelbase of an unmodified mini-z is around 3 1/2" adjustable, so it won't fit on a 1/10 chassis unless you're going for some kind of monster truck doo-hick

And anyway, it's sold so I'm not playing anymore, toys out the pram []

Well, I cannot argue against that, but:

If you cannot convince them, just try to screw them up!

According to Kyosho, their Mini-Z are 1:28 scale. When it comes to r/c models, there's usually a bit of artistic lisence involved, but 1:28 does seem about right. I've seen plenty of mini-z chassis with 1:24 scale bodies on them, but they have always had the wheelbase extended to make them fit.

The sedan type Mini-Z's are 1/28. The F1 Mini-Z's are 1/24. I am not sure the scale of the new SUV type Mini-Z.

Cheers,
