Spring has arrived, I hope you all have the Z's up and running! I got the paper Z ready for this summer's cruising.
The Z is now completely remote control, we have forward and reverse gears, and the front steering and wheels/tires actually work. Now instead of just the two rear tires waddling like a duck all four have that wobbly motion. RPM's have doubled, giving the Z a respectable speed. The waddle might not be as noticeable with the new speed but that might just be my opinion. A new video is coming soon.

Ohhh, this is incredible! :shock:

Marilyn even has her own capacitor to sit on!

Did you ever tell us what that Kanji on the windscreen reads in Japanese?

Hello Frank and CTZCC, The windshield decal translation is the same as the base, "Enjoy the Ride". All of the translators on the net are a little different, I had to cut and piece it together to fit the curve on the windshield. I hope I put it back in the right order, if I didn't, who knows what it says. I have been busy this summer and haven't had time to do a video. It will not be shot in the kitchen with a still camera. I am going to hire a video production crew, to give it a Title and sound. Hope everybody is doing well.
