Mini z's are cool. It's like taking slot cars to the next level😀

You should do a Walmart car upgrade series!!

Good stuff! Smiling the whole time watching you guys!

My first hobby grade rc was a ECX ruckus. It's still running good and is perfect for people who are new to the hobby.

I love watching how you support all of the small shops

Just made my day thanks Mark👏👍

I have owned 2 ECX vehicles. The Ruckus 4x4 had so many drivetrain issues when I went brushless with it. Broke it like every run. Also owned an ECX Temper Gen 2, which still runs. The Erevo 2.0 is still my favorite.

Never owned an ecx car; however, I do remember them as a decent maker. Great to hear you try to support the local hobby shops whenever you travel and I love the fact you are constantly involving your kids and how they race their mini-Zs. When you do your reviews, maybe add a short segment for Evan or Ethen's opinion or take on the subject. Seeing how a dad involves their children in their hobby is a great inspiration and seeing positive and encouraging dad-ing is a great thing. Keep up with the great videos!

I've had the ecx temper i had a lot of fun with, a torment that got me back into the hobby like 6 years ago and now I have 2 of their tiny motorcycles lol

Tack in Ardmore, will have to check it out this weekend

Fun 2 see Walmart car running with the mini z"a can't wait to see how it performs with upgrades

Loving the Mini-Z videos you’re putting out! Also, that shop has so many Mini-Z parts, awesome to see!

gotta mod the Walmart car! can't wait to see that!

So cool you support the local shops keep it up

I own 4 ECXs ; I got a 1/18 Ruckus, a Temper gen2 , a Micro Roost and an Amp Crush. They're all pretty good for the price!

No joke im stopping at Walmart on the way home from work today to try and get two of these if they have them. I was laughing at that guy driving. Good stuff!

Out of stock!! 😫

Do like I do... Cheap-O Walmart or Dollar Store RC converted to hobby grade proportional steering and throttle... generally you gotta swap out the drive motors to something that'll take the extra oomph of a 2 cell/7.4volt LiPo and maybe glue/epoxy the plastic drive gears and rear wheels to their respective metal shafts to keep them from slipping.. . I've also found that a old bicycle inner tube cut to the right width usually stretches over hard rubber/plastic toy RC tires awesomely! Different tire size bicycle inner tubes for different diameter tires.. adds roughly 3/32" diameter to the stock No-Grip toy RC tires but adds more traction than you'll ever believe! Buy em' cheap and make em' fast... Gotta love creative mechanical ability! Everyone please stay safe and God Bless.

That is a sweet arC track. Man those cars are going fast at scale

Great video! Love the minis. We just got our track!

Got to love the spatula on a stick!!!

That’s hilarious! I have spent a lot of time searching for small RC parts I dropped!

Good video as always, you should try to upgrade that “mini z” to make it race like an actual mini z that would be tough though

The struggle is real here. Great video!

Hey Mark! That was a classic racing with the Walmart car on the track! He was doing pretty good for just grabbing it and going just everyone drilling him too funny! Your son was on it with that car working it pretty good out there ripping laps with it! I hope you guys mod that thing it would be a classic project! The Traxxas Pit Matt's have magnetic compartment in them don't know if I ever seen a review of one? I just have a small magnetic part tray I use when wrenching on RC or real vehicles! Great videos and content!😉📹👍

The body looks pretty damn good!

I have an ecx amp mt 2wd right now. Its a lot of fun. I'm only running nimh in it but hopefully I'll be getting the Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate soon.

I'd love to see a video with more detailed info on your mini z setups. Mods, etc with the local racers.

I have an ecx ruckus 1/18 and its been pretty good so far

This is awesome! Wish I could drive 1.5 hours and find mini-z parts here in Indiana! I'd buy it all 😉

Just bought my son his first RC and it was an ECX Ruckus. Not a bad little basher for a hundred bucks.

Again sharing the wealth around. Another shop we get to see. Rule one when traveling listen to the Waze always listen to the Waze.

1 year ago I brought a ecx temper (a crawler) and it is rally brittle but it is the best size for indoor/outdoor

I have an ECX AMP MT. Got it a year ago as my rc to get back into the hobby. Only the electronics were changed to run lipos.

Ecx rock crawler it was the first car when I picked up the hobby again that was a lot of cars ago. the rabbit hole is deep !!

The back of that shop is like a time capsule full of forgotten treasure!

It’s so cool

I have an ECX Temper gen2 and it works pretty well

I have an ecx i got back in 2016 made it brushless, honestly a very fun rc ... unfortunately it has not made its way out the closet cause of all my other ones, but i think i am gonna take it out this weekend

I raced an ecx torment. It was too heavy as heck. But I loved it and loved racing it.

Cool never really thought in Oklahoma there would be a mini z race track or a rc shop my my how times be changing!

Pickup a mini z for me. Thanks Mark and boys great 👍job

Too funny, almost sad that it held its own so well for nearly 1/20 the cost. I'm dying to get a mini z though, it looks like so much fun. Wish there was some local support. Either way, I love the body support and the driving style variety.

I got my cousin his first hobby grade every car for this Christmas, it was the ecx torment 1/18 sct! It’s got some speed for such a smal car. I’m still trying to get him to hold the controller correctly, but it’s a work in progress. 😂

Had an ECX Ruckus 4x4 back in the day. Damn thing was actually pretty decent.

Nice didn't know you where in my area. I live about an hour east of Ardmore. Wanted to get into drag racing, where is the closest place to Ardmore that has it?

I've had quite a few ECX R/Cs, Still have a short course truck with RPM parts.

Ive owned and ECX. Torment. Just like the traxxas slash was super durable and easy to keep up.

im in shaws all the time, i run a ecx buggy, so he has the parts, not got to race yet at either track but im working on it

Man I used to race mini z’s all the time years ago. Fast pace racing and inside line racing in the South Bay.. rip

I downtown an ecx but I have driven their temper gen 2 and it is pretty good

😂 listing to Cody is hilarious 😂

Loven it so frickin funny dude

That’s cool that place isn’t very far from me here in Oklahoma. I’ll have to go there

What scoring systems are people using with the mini tracks?

FYI those pn 70t motors are a pain in a butt to put in the stock mid motor tray. Also if u want to run them I would get the pn back end. Also good to run the pn 900 batteries for one races ans the pn 700 batteries are really good.

I like q tips red bull body that thing is sick!!

I have exc ruckus I've place a titan 12t 550 motor in it but now need to replace my rear transmission to metal upgrades

The struggle is real. Lol🤙

Mini-Z 👍😍👍 awesome ~~!!!!!!!

Does he have a conversation kit for a losi ten sct nitro to electric

Hi Mark Do you know where I can purchase a Mini-Z other than amain hobbies? I've asked and they aren't sure when they'll have them back in stock.

I have 3 ecx. Temper & amp and not sure what the other one is

Wonder if he has any parts for a gold pan Cadillac RC-10

I wish Melbourne, Australia had the support for for the Mini Z scene. Can buy a kit (limited stock and outlets), but to walk into a shop and have available stock on display and tracks to race would be awesome!

Look up burncity mini z, they’re a club in Melbourne that race at Kew/Balwyn city libraries. I can’t think of any hobby shops that stock mini z parts like this place though. All my local hobby shops closed so my mini z and other cars just sit on the shelf now.

i bought my son an ecx buggy and it runs pretty good

Do they sell drift wheels for the mini Z =-)?

Ecx smash. I put a mini brushless in it and it was 🔥

10 bucks is worth it for the body wonder if I could custom fit it to my k989

I have an ecx and didn't Even realize it until you asked. I went and looked them up and I do have a two-wheel drive 10th scale monster truck from them.

Cody Cooper used to race an ECX 1/8 buggy at Shaw's barn track.

That was funny. Causing pile ups out there.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....its a good thing I don't have a hobby shop right down the road :D

Yes I had an ECX Circuit and it broke alot

One of my favorite RC cars is Tomy Drift Package Light thats a $10 rc drift car from Japan that we modify to run like a $100 car.

What do you have to add to modify it

I still own a couple 1/10 ecx cars, a ruckus and a 4wd torment. The ruckus is a very that originally had a 27mhz radio. Its been a tank, we still beat on it.

I have the ecx tormmint and it is fun

Yeah I owned one actually was my first hobby grade car ended up giving it to my Brother

My first hobby grade car was the ecx torment

You did it! You found mini z paradise! Bro pick up some tires for me. They’re hard to find here in the Midwest.

Not to bad for a Wal-Mart RC, not to bad at all, I wonder if you guys used a power craze what would have happened? Those power craze rc's are incredibly fast for their price point and on smooth proper track, they can fly, I have a total of 4 of them, craze and dune 24. But my beauty is my bonzai jubatus b416, I love it .

I got 3 ecx rc definitely a starter rc. They are below redcat rc in quality and all of them break so easy if you start upgrading anything from stock.

I really want one of those mats, please see if hell ship

I have the ECX Ruckus still to this day. its about 3 years old

I had one... it had a ton of motor issues, (it was the first rc car I ever had so I had no idea what I was doing) and I decided to sell it cuz it was really broken. I got a wltoys a959 and it was 50$ and it lasted way longer, and I had way more fun with it than the ruckus and I still love ot too this day... (not saying the ruckus is bad, but I just had a bad experience with it)

Kodi seems cool.do more crazy videos with him.hes entertaining.

Are these mini z awd or rwd?

They must trust people there. Any hobby store I’ve ever been to in California has everything behind the counter😂😂😂

I can’t wait to see that Walmart car run after they are done modding it

i would've liked to seen it with lipo battery in it before they do the remod you have a great show

You'll need to modify the plastic motor mount to fit the PN 70 turn motor, or get an aluminum mount.

Yep a torment 10th scale and a 18 th scale 4x4 rutkus forget the name but it's a really good upgrade 18th scale

i genuinly have every ecx rc car made to this day ,and dont know why. there so slow aand completely stock and the ecx amp mt brushed i use almost every day and stuggle to go faster than the mini z in a stright line lol ive also got 1 of the 18th scale trucks and ive got the same one 6times due to me putting down the wrong ammount and payinng for them i was meant to get 2 but got 6 :( they do abou 4mph and they are so weak if u drop one it breaks the chassis and body cracks esc falls out of place u lose loads of screws etcetcetc :((((

0:00 Me when I lost a damn bearing building the ball diff for a Team Associated 18T and you have to buy a whole other diff to get that one piece.

The Walmart car turned really well on the mini z track

Reminds of the Amiga game 'Supercars' :D

Dude I live in Enid . Lol .. I wish there was a track here or something .

What’s the name of the shop? Do they have a website?

What was the Walmart car called I want to get one for the body lol 😂 and does your buddy there have a website to buy parts from because I’ve been getting ripped off recently on eBay for parts for my mini z
