――FWD chassis adopting front-wheel drive for the first time in the series proposes a new way to enjoy the MINI-Z Racer
- While maintaining the concept of the MINI-Z Racer Sport MR-03 Readyset of [making it easier for a wider range of users to enjoy], we have created a new model for the first time in the series to propose new ways of enjoying a category that has never existed before. A completely new design chassis with front-wheel drive is born!
-The ``MINI-Z FWD series'', which includes a newly developed transmitter and a body that realistically reproduces popular models, has been added to the lineup.
-The chassis with excellent weight balance is a completely new design, but it uses proven parts such as the drive system and suspension for AWD, and the servo for MR-03, so durability and reliability are guaranteed.
- In terms of driving, it combines stable straight-line performance and easy-to-maneuver steering characteristics that are unique to front-wheel drive.
- In addition, by adopting a new board with a completely renewed control program, it achieves linear handling for steering, and when an optional gyro unit (sold separately: please check here for compatibility) is installed. The behavior of is also more controllable, and the biggest feature is that it is easy to handle even for beginners.
- Also, the transmitter comes with the new Syncro KT-531P. In addition to being equipped with steering trim, throttle trim, dual rate, and LED control functions, the steering wheel is equipped with a sponge as standard to emphasize fit during control.
- There is no doubt that the FWD series will further expand the enjoyment of the MINI-Z, with its chassis mechanism and driving feel different from the rear-wheel drive RWD series.
*Since the Syncro KT-531P transmitter uses FHSS2.4GHz, it is not compatible with conventional ASF/MHS/FHS2.4GHz systems.
- The first front-wheel-drive chassis in the MINI-Z series that adopted a front-midship layout in which the motor was placed immediately after the front axle.
- Uses the newly developed Syncro KT-531P transmitter that can be set in various ways.
- Dramatically improved steering feel by adopting a new board with a completely new control program.
- The factory-assembled body has a high-scale finish that rivals the display model.
- Full bearing specification with a total of 12 ball bearings.
- Compatible with M (90mm), L (94mm) and LL (98mm) wheelbases.
- Optional gyro unit (sold separately: see here for compatibility) can be installed. The effect of the gyro unit can be adjusted with the volume installed on the vehicle body (*When using the separately sold KT-432PT transmitter, it can be adjusted with the transmitter).
-The FK8 Civic Type R, which was developed with the aim of `ultimate FF sports` and updated the fastest FF time at Nurburgring (Germany) at that time in May 2017.
- The exterior design based on advanced aerodynamics, which minimizes air resistance, is realistically expressed in a minute size.
- Comes with Syncro KT-531P transmitter with stylish design. In addition to the steering/throttle trim, it is also equipped with a dual rate that can adjust the amount of steering angle and an LED control function.
- It is also possible to set a training mode that suppresses the vehicle speed (it is set to training mode at the time of shipment).
- Newly designed servo unit achieves linear steering characteristics. Since the highly reliable AWD drive system is used, conventional ball differentials for AWD can also be used.
- By adopting a layout with a low center of gravity that places four batteries on the bottom, it achieves a well-balanced weight distribution on the top, bottom, left and right of the chassis.
-Introduced [VCS], which has a proven track record used in AWD sports, for the front suspension.
-Since the coil spring can be replaced without using tools, it is easy to change settings.
- The rear suspension also uses an AWD sports strut unit.
- In addition to being excellent in maintainability, conventional toe control rods and camber knuckles can also be used.
- A rich lineup of optional parts for the MINI-Z AWD allows you to step up according to your budget and level.
