With Michael and Flo taking a break from the Mini-Z action due to work load Robitronic came to the rescue as the guys from Austria just started their Mini-Z season. The released information on some handy Robitronic products that look like a good beginners package for all of you that like to give the 1/27 scale micro cars a try.
To power the around 170mm long cars they prefer to use 1000mAh Sanyo AAA batteries that offer good punch and long runtimes. Robitronic part #AAA1000
An oldie but goodie is Robitronic's Expert 10A charger. The maximum charging current of course is not used with AAA cells and Robitronic recommends to use up to 1.0A. The 12V charger offers Delta-Peak and cell temperature cut-off and has the part #RS106.
Much-More Racing's AAA Charging Tray takes up to four AAA cells which are secured by a simple screw. The alloy body dissipates heat from the cells and also sports a nice blue anodizing. Part #MR-3ADBB
To make wrenching on the Mini-Z chassis easier, try Robitronic's #RS600 and #RS667 4.5mm hex and 3.5mm screw driver.
Some tracks equine the use of traction compound. Apply it with a brush, wait for 20 minutes, wipe away excessive sauce and you are left with a grippy tyre! #L440
Ball Bearings reduce friction in the drivetrain and make for more acceleration, speed and duration compared to the original plastic bushings. You need 4 #RC2060 and 3 #RC3060 bearings.
The 35x28cm Robitronic pit mat is ideal for wrenching on smaller cars as the red ribbing prevents tiny parts often seen on Mini-Z cars from rolling away. Also keeps the kitchen table from getting dirty while wrenching or playing around with oil and grease. Robitronic part #R13002
