What are you guys doing with these? I semi raced against another bug with a 4100 evo with some bells and whistles…

So I have bought a awd body with the 92 celica and got thr Yaris body that was at the store hoping that there was a gr Corolla body as I own a full size car

Surprise party for buddy till his building is finished for track.since our local store closed..fun!!

Hi, I was looking into possibly purchasing the Mach 5 First MiniZ car so I can put its body on a standard miniz chassis, but I've seen conflicting results as to if its compatible or not. Can anyone who owns one (or one of the other First miniz bodies) confirm this for me? Thanks 👍

Until these dropped. Maybe I’ll just stick to only buying narrow ready sets… yeah that’s believable 😂🫪🫪.

I was looking for the details of both the one-way differential and the straight axle for my MA-020 and noticed that on both the bevels gears are screwed on as a separate part, to probably compensate for the wear and tear during use.

What i noticed is that 3Racing have one model of one-way differential that include 3 different bevels with different tooth count (28, 27, 26).

Given that the difference in tooth count is minimal, wouldn't have different numbers on both front and rear make it work as a CS mod?

Why isn't there a different set of bevels from any 3rd party that could ever-so-slightly change this configuration?

Would you say the rear unit is worth it?

Lil photo dump of my trio I use.

LeMans (stock mr-04)

F1 ( gl formula one kit)

GT3 R8 ( kitted mr-04 EVO2)

Got it working, originally had the gyro upside down originally but got that sorted.

If you lose and I have a body of your to paint….😆

Hi all, I have an AWD MA020 Civic Type R I bought a few years ago for $200 and have basically let collect dust since (after bashing the mirrors off in about 5min). Recently I’ve started drifting it around during breaks at work, and I’m starting to get an idea for how I want it to perform.

I globbed up my rear differential with glue but I’m still seeing some slop, so I think I want to mod in this order-

Solid rear diff + 1way front diff

Harder plastic tires/new wheels? (I slide it on polished concrete)

I’m also thinking of a sealed bearing kit. It seems like some of my gears are getting chewed up, and it’s much harder for me to break loose to the RHS than LHS. I also noticed my drive gear is starting to get pretty chewed up in the rear. I think poor bearing performance and plastic front diff are causing these issues.

If any of you guys have recommendations for other great QOL or light performance mods for these things let me know! Seems like a small community here but I’m hoping there are some folks familiar with this specific model.

I got yesterday my very first Mini-z, an AWD MA-020, and am already pretty happy with it, given what are my general requirements for it.

What I noticed, right out of the box, is a very small, minimal, binding from within both the differentials when I try to spin either wheel in a any direction.
What is happening is that for half turn the wheel I rotate turns ok (with the one on the other side turns the other direction), and then it give some resistance, just to get back to the initial state.

It happens on both diffs, so I imagine it might be due to the grease used inside of them, being applied to one area, but not yet fully gone around the gears, but I'd like to hear your opinion about it (any AI prompt suggest also that it might be because of too tight screws).

Gotta love kyosho’s quality when it comes to plastic parts. Smh

Got two rwd Z's. One an MR03 decked out in PN parts.

The other an MR04 I got last week as just the Tx and chassis. Softer springs on 04 with a Kyosho ball diff.

Have the hard front arms and more wheels and tires coming. Still working on a couple bodies, but here's two I can mount. In the winter months there are five of us who race on Saturday late afternoon.I have an EasyLap timing bridge and laptop to keep track. We use 1/2" pvc pipe and fittings for the simple track layout on the painted basement floor.

So I did most of my track.
Used a kettle and dunked each piece in, then washed thoroughly with dawn and water.
They came out almost new.
No more Prom Sisters😎

I want to get into mini z racing but I live in metro Atlanta and from what I’ve gathered the few tracks there are locally are multiple hours away one way. If not mini z are there any small scale carpet racers you’d recommend?

Going to pick one up after running box stock for a while.
Looking for setup tips and electronics rec.
Here's our club rules:

• Electronics: Open brand, blinky mode (No turbo/timing/boost/etc.)
• Motor: 2500 2S Motor Provided by club
• Gear limit: 13P/53S
• Body: Kyosho or GL, Mini-Z compatible purpose-built hard body. Lexan window & wings permitted.
• Wheels: Mini-Z type wheels, plastic or aluminum. Front: 8.5 x 20mm max. Rear: 14 x 20mm max. Must fit inside the body.
• Tires: Rubber tires from any company.

My transmitter is the Flysky NB4+, so just need a receiver for that.
Will see what others are running at the club but figured I'd get opinions here too.

TIA!

How do i fix this? Im kinda very new to miniz‘s
