Hey Everyone,
Im new to Mini z, i have a Ferrari 360 modena and have had it for about a month, im getting kinda bored of just driving it in circles, so i just ordered a porsche body and some springs and some wheels to make it a little more interesting. When i turn, it never has any roll through the turn like a real car i was hoping softer springs would help that but they haven\'t arrived yet. Any other sudgestions as to how to make more realistic turns and more realistic handling in genral?
Thanks

The problem is that the Mini-Z is only 1/28th scale in size- not weight or speed. It would be like having a real Ferrari that weighed less than 20 lbs and went well over 400 mph.
Your best bet would be to add weight to the car. The more you add, the more realistic it is going to be.
To make it scale, you would have to add about 90 lbs, though. ;)

Thanks kai, but do you think the softer springs will help that too, i tried taping about a dozen quarters to my car but i still didn\'t get the roll effect that im trying to get
suspension will make a differece for both front and rear... what kind of roll are u looking for?
im looking for realistic roll : when a car cuts a tight turn at a high speed the car leans as a result of weight transfer, you dont get that with mini z
Maybe get a soft H plate and front springs and attach weight high on the body, maybe tape something to the underside of the roof?
