Overview
The Kyosho First Mini-Z Knight Rider brings the famous K.I.T.T. car from the Knight Rider TV series to your desk or living-room floor as an approximately 1/28 scale, ready-to-run 2.4GHz RC car. The First Mini-Z line is Kyosho's entry point into radio control, designed for beginners who want more than a typical toy RC car.
Kyosho builds the First Mini-Z around three ideas: the Real Drive Mechanism, which gives proportional steering and throttle control; Mode Switching, which lets you choose between a slower Training mode and a faster Racing mode with one touch; and Time Attack at Home, using the stopwatch built into the controller and the six included mini pylons to set up a course and time your laps.
Key Features
- Knight Rider K.I.T.T. body in approximately 1/28 scale
- Real Drive Mechanism with proportional steering and throttle
- Two speed modes, switchable with one touch: Training (approx. 7 km/h) and Racing (approx. 10 km/h)
- 2.4GHz digital controller with a built-in stopwatch (up to 99.99 seconds)
- 2.4GHz system allows up to 12 cars to run at the same time
- Six mini pylons included for setting up a home time-attack course
- Trim adjuster included for fine-tuning straight-line tracking
Performance Benefits
- Proportional control lets a new driver learn smooth throttle and steering inputs instead of the on/off control of basic toy cars
- Training mode limits top speed for learning; Racing mode unlocks the full speed once the driver is comfortable
- Stopwatch and pylons give a measurable goal, so drivers can see their lap times improve
- Approximately 60 minutes of running per set of new alkaline batteries
- Operating range of approximately 30 m, well beyond a typical indoor room
Usage Notes
- Designed for indoor use on smooth, flat floors such as wood, tile or low-pile carpet
- The car and the controller each take 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included); the car is not rechargeable
- Kyosho lists the recommended age as 14 years and older
- Start in Training mode, then switch to Racing mode as driving skill improves
- Use the trim adjuster if the car pulls to one side when driving straight
- Remove the batteries when the car will not be used for a long period
