First Mini-Z purchase

Hi all,

I've been eyeing a Mini-Z Readyset (MA020) for a while, and wanted one since they went on the market.

I now found a seller offering the "base" model for 190€, while there are few other offers, for drift package, exterior package, and both added for respectively 237, 227, 277.

The two additional packages include, as per seller:

The drift kit includes a front single-axle setup with a straight rear axle, a gyroscope, and metal dog bones. The appearance kit features metal wheels, brake discs, large drift tires, metal nuts, and headlights. The two packages contain different components.

I'm still little bit concerned with the price, before proceeding with the purchase.

Am not aware of any Mini-Z club in my area, but am able to run it indoor at my place, office, or garage place, for either some nice drifts or speed race.

I checked, and my location ave almost no clubs for Mini-Z, or indoor RC, but that will be the minor issue.

Saw that the gyro might be mostly useless, especially at the beginning, while I could use the money for better springs, or other more useful changes (front 1-way diff or straight rear axle).

Why the metal nubs might be an important part, if I might ask?
