Getting the Skyline onto the Mini-Z AWD Chassis

The Skyline of the previous post was not meant to sit on the AWD chassis, but it can be a nice fit and a nice drifter as well.

There is only very little work involved to make the Body fit the Chassis. This work needs to be don at the front- ans side body-clips. The front body-clip is a bit to wide for the AWD mounting post, so you need to sand down the sides until it slides in without force. You’d rather take off a bit more than required so the the symmetry of the set-up is kept instead of more on one side than the other and the whole set-up is asymmetrical.

the same applies for the side mounts which are glued inside the body. They needs to be sanded down a little bit to make the body slide over the chassis like intended. If you have done this, you should have a nice Body for your drift-car … and it should look like this:

Currently I still have the original Wheels of the Subaru on the car, but I do think it does look quite nice. I still have a set of 6 spoke AWD wheels here, but they are intended for the Yellow X-Mods Skyline.

I also have a set of Upgrades for the chassis lying here, the “Graphite Front and Rear Gear Box” by 3racing. The installation will be covered on my new site www.mini-rc-tutorials.com once I get around to do it.
