Last night I popped out the board of a zip zaps knock off and soldered a battery back that holds 2 aaa's and I think I might build a mini rc boat or some other project iff I can think of something better.

you didn't check very hard then.

they're in various directories around here:

they also take standard kyosho parts from the corresponding generation.

there's some confusion about them right now, as 'iwaver' is reorganizing into the new 'iwaver' chassis (a totally new design not a kyosho copy) and 'firelap' which are the older iwaver chassis designs renamed. Nobody I know in my 1/28th circle has been brave enough to buy the new fiberglass iwaver--it looks a lot like a smaller, rwd version of the mrs4.

1/28th is my scale....
I've got one xmod, one I-mod (xmod with Iwaver pcb), one iwaver02, 2 iwaver01's, 2 iwaver00's (in bits) and a Kyosho Mr-01. But I really only race the Kyosho and the I02 unless I'm driving outside.
