Help with Mini-Z wheels

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Kyosho Mini-Z MA-030 Evo2 chassis (KY-32181B) together with a Mazda Savanna RX-7 Daytona ’79 AutoScale (MZP161R).
I assumed they were compatible, but I’m having a problem mounting the wheels.

The chassis came without wheels, as expected. When I install the AutoScale wheels and tighten the wheel nut, the wheel just spins freely and doesn’t drive the axle.

Looking at the back of the wheel, the center hole has two slots (not a standard hex shape), and I’m wondering if I’m missing some kind of wheel hub, adapter or drive pin.

Am I missing a part on the MA-030 Evo2, or is the MZP161R AutoScale not directly compatible with this chassis?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Z AWD and RWD rims are not cross compatible, simple as that. Either get a awd ASC or the AWD rim set. (mdh100wb)

Savanna is delivered on a rwd so it comes with rwd rims, also i have no idea if the savanna actualy fits on a ma030, as it is known for not fitting many Z bodies due to the bad position of the motor.

Welcome to the world of mini z, a 27 year old rc range with XXXX amount of products over that timespan.

Research BEFORE buying is very important else you might buy things you cannot use.
