Yes finaly a new idea.
After being on a fair a couple of weeks ago, where we gave some demo's in a pound,
with one of my MHZ Gecko's, i got the idea to build one of my models that if already had in my possision,
an Kyosho Mini Z Lambourghini Cat to an Xtreme Mini Cat.
Since this model came on the matket if already being in love with it, and after seeíng some demo's with it,
i had the idea....i had to have one.
It runs great and fun, fast but not to fast for beginner (But for me too slow), and it looks great in detail.
So time to build it in to Xtreme Mini-Z catamaran.

After some searching on the internet my colleague found a page where another person allready had
changed the setup of the Mini-Z catamaran, so great for me.
Unfortunaly my Japanese is not that great the pictures speak for their self.
