Featuring the high-performance "MR-04" chassis!
The Mini-Z RWD series is rear-wheel drive!
The appeal of Kyosho's ready-to-run sets is that you can immediately enjoy driving a full-fledged R/C car simply by opening the package and inserting the battery into the car body and transmitter. Among them, the small-scale Mini-Z Racer is ideal for people with little experience in R/C cars, thanks to its ease of use, which allows it to be driven indoors. The Mini-Z RWD, a ready-to-run set with a rear two-wheel drive chassis that could be called the core model of the Mini-Z Racer, uses the MR-04 chassis! While inheriting the basic design of the MR-03, the MR-04 has evolved significantly with a lower center of gravity and redesigned steering. It debuted in the Mini-Z's top-of-the-line model, the EVO2, and demonstrated overwhelming speed and excellent handling. This MR-04 chassis is equipped with an R/C unit for ready-to-run sets and combined with a pre-assembled body of a quality comparable to display models. Even in the ready-to-run version, there are no changes to the materials of the chassis parts, and the quality is the same as the high-end model. The motor is an easy-to-handle 130-class brushed motor, and the transmitter is the popular steering wheel & gun-grip type Syncro KT-531P, ensuring excellent reliability. Simply install four AAA alkaline batteries in the chassis and transmitter, and it's ready to run. Not only can you enjoy driving it in its standard configuration, but with the wide range of Mini-Z option parts available, you can create a machine capable of competing in top-class races. Enjoyable for driving, tuning, and even as a display piece, the Mini-Z RWD invites owners into the world of high-level, authentic R/C cars.

The Jaguar XJR-14, a Group C model known as "F1 with a cowl" due to its aggressive aerodynamic design, competed alongside car number 17 in the final round of the JSPC (All Japan Sports Prototype Car Endurance Championship) held at Sportsland Sugo in Japan, achieving a one-two finish in qualifying.
The MR-04 chassis retains the advantages of the MR-03 while achieving significant performance improvements through updates such as a lower center of gravity. It's also easier to drive, making it ideal as an entry-level R/C car.
The new front knuckle, which features an integrated kingpin, reduces the scrub amount by 1.5mm on each side compared to the MR-03, resulting in sharper and more linear handling. The ball bearings have been changed to a 3mm inner diameter type, successfully reducing rotational resistance.
The newly adopted suspension parts 2.0 optimize the caster angle, achieving a balance of maneuverability and stability in high-speed driving situations.
The vehicle uses four AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries for power. The battery mounting position is lower than that of the MR-03, resulting in a lower center of gravity for the entire chassis. This ensures stable cornering and straightforward handling.
The rear suspension, which absorbs and dampens shocks from the road surface to enhance driving stability, uses a coil spring damper. It is also possible to change to an optional oil-filled damper.
A T-bar type rear suspension plate that utilizes the flexibility of a plate that holds the entire unit, including the motor and rear tire, to achieve a suspension effect. FRP and carbon fiber versions are also available as optional parts.
All bearings are equipped with ball bearings that have low rotational resistance as standard. Since ball bearings of the same size are used for both the front and rear, spare parts are also easy to obtain.
When changing from the standard body, a parts set is included to adjust the front tread (vehicle width) to match the installed body. The rear tread is changed by altering the wheel offset.
The included Syncro KT-531P transmitter features a steering wheel and trigger-type throttle (speed control) style that mimics a real car's steering wheel. It is equipped with trim to adjust the neutral position of the steering and throttle, and dual rate to adjust the steering angle. It can also be operated in training mode (set to training mode at the time of shipment) with reduced vehicle speed.
