The combination of the highly-detailed body and 4x4 chassis design opens up new levels of performance, well beyond anything RC enthusiasts have ever seen from a mini crawler.
In 2019 the world's most popular mini RC series, known as the Kyosho MINI-Z, celebrated more than 20 years of unmatched performance and scale realism in the hobby-grade RC category. The continuous pursuit of performance and evolution has led to the creation of a completely-new MINI-Z 4x4 design that delivers an all-new driving experience for RC fans of all stripes, with superior overall design, driving performance and high-quality injection-molded scale body construction. A significant feature of the MINI-Z 4x4 series is the greater emphasis of body detail and quality of finish that even surpasses existing benchmarks set by the MINI-Z. The body is also molded with thicker material to better resist crash damage from operation in rough terrain. Incorporating the same ladder- style frame of real 4WD vehicles, the MINI-Z 4x4 boasts a 3-link rigid axle suspension combining what would normally be two upper links into a single upper A-arm to deliver maximum suspension movement. A specially designed high-torque steering servo enables this machine to throw its elbows around in the hard terrain for excellent performance in the toughest rock-crawler conditions. The high-torque 130-size motor brings out the beast in the MINI-Z 4x4, specially geared to run well in the low to medium speed ranges common in crawling. Designed to balance exquisite style, scale detail and superior driving performance, all the MINI-Z 4x4 needs is 8 x AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately). Enjoy driving under any conditions, from normal driving to rock crawling while appreciating the stunning visual appearance. The Kyosho Mini-Z 4x4 is the only mini crawler that delivers a full range of crawling performance in a smaller package.!
Features:
- Adopts full-fledged solid axle links similar to the 1/10 scale models, ensuring the driving performance and wheel travel required for crawler models.
- Equipped with a specially tuned high-torque 130 motor. Additionally, the main gear unit features a slipper clutch that protects the drive system by releasing torque when under heavy load.
- Features a high-torque servo specifically designed for crawler models, capable of supporting authentic crawling performance. The steering link optimization achieves the largest steering angle in Mini-Z history.
- Full bearing specification with a total of 18 ball bearings. Metal gears, known for their durability, are used in parts that bear heavy loads.
- The "KT-531P" transmitter uses the FHSS 2.4GHz system and features a sponge on the steering wheel to enhance operability.
- Comes as a fully assembled, ready-to-run model, requiring only the insertion of batteries to begin operation.
- An optional light set (MZW429R) can be installed on the top of the circuit board. The lights respond to throttle operation, and the headlight's lighting interval can be adjusted freely-from steady lighting to blinking-via the transmitter's trim.
- Supports the separately sold gyro unit (MZW446), and like the RWD/AWD series, manual adjustments can be made via the volume control.
- Equipped with popular BS Goodrich tires.
