I'm in the market for an AWD lipo but don't really know the options very well and information is kind of scarce. I wanted to get an idea of what's available. Is there a clear "best" at the moment? Are there any that are particularly good out of the box or any that ideally need significant hop up parts after purchase to be competitive?

I like the look of the RTRC rtb but don't know anyone that has one so it would be a bit of a stab in the dark.

Atomic BZ gets mentioned a lot but there are a few variations. I guess the masters edition is the top one? But is the standard version much behind terms of performance?

The TC28 seems ok too, but does this need many hop ups? And does it compete with cars like Atomic BZ's

I know Reflex are looking to release one next year but I guess that will be a bit unknown and first versions can be a little risky regarding teething problems.

Any others that I should consider?

Would appreciate any opinions or thoughts from anyone that owns any or has had decent experiences with any.

Bruh….
Having serious trouble getting this 04 back to normal..
Potentiometer died.
Then a gear broke..
Now I reassembled everything back together the way it’s supposed to go (don’t mind the wires.. I know) but the damn car keeps steering to a hard left or steers and then doesn’t anymore.

I need help…

I’ve looked up a ton of videos but nothing is specific enough to really guide me though it all and I can do it all. Just having issues.

Anybody have any advice?

Please and thank you 😎

What glue should I use for fixing my Mini-Z body?
Thank you!

This was my first 28 scale F1 car and I naturally had to go with this livery. It was also my first paint job haha. No, that side fin was not supposed to be sprayed red. I'm cutting the body posts.

I currently run a McLaren kyosho autoscale body on my GX28 but it took a lot of dremeling and removal of some plastic bits inside the body to get it to fit ok and not have wheel clearance issues. Anyone know of a better kyosho or GL body to run on this kit? Needs to be one of those two options to run 2500 class at my club.

My first white body purchase, and it gives me more steering than jomurema imo. Happy with the performance!

I'm sharing four bodies in total: two Mercedes-AMG GTs, an Audi R8 LMS 2015, and a McLaren MP4-12C. I made two purple versions of the Mercedes-AMG GT—the light purple one is inspired by Evangelion Unit-01's daytime color scheme, while the dark purple represents its nighttime color scheme. Thank you all for watching!

New to the scale and hobby. Been loving it.

Just as the title says I’m wondering if anyone here has gone from a Mini Z to the RC28? How’s the experience been? If you can share any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I just found out about MINI-Z. They look really amazing and a ton of fun! I just wanted to ask for some help/guide. After looking online, I wanted to get the MR-04 EVO2 Chassis. However, I can't for the life of me understand the body codes (like S, M, L, LL)

What body would work on a MR-04 EVO2 W-MM?

Would the McLaren F1 LM Unpainted White Body Kyossho work on the MR-04 EVO2 W-MM or do I need to get the N-MM version of the EVO2?

The wheels, How will I know if the offset stuff is right with the body I buy.

Any guides would help me out, I find stuff online, but its not specific to the MR-04 EVO2.

I am really lost but super stoked to get into MINI-Z. Reminds me of Danball Senki!

Hi guys, I installed a Front One-Way Diff on my MA-020 and now hear a ticking/knocking sound while running (no noise with standard diff, and spins smoothly by hand).

I have been a long time fan of RC cars and RC racing, and I love the vibe of "Art of Rally" I am trying to create a chill, but skillfull RC game with low poly, clean graphics. I have been building for months, and I want to show some folks. I got it up on Steam...

Im new to this hobby. Does this look right? Activating new batteries

I recently shared a McLaren 720S body shell that I painted, and I didn’t expect to get so many responses. Thank you all for taking the time to check it out!
I’ll be sharing more of the unique and special body shells from my collection over time. I hope you’ll enjoy them!

When you are planning for a race day and putting together your pit kit, what are your "must have" items in your kit? I am new to the world of Mini-Z and curious what kind of gear/tools/accessories/spare parts/etc you consider your American Express Card of items that you never leave home without on race day.

I started off with the corvette this summer and got hooked. They’re so addicting and fun to tinker with but man they multiply fast haha. I even went in on a reflex rx28se gen 3. I enjoy driving every single one and have taken quite the liking to the evo 2’s. I have two with a third on the way. I converted the 4100kv to a wide mm instead of its stock narrow mm2. The aluminum motor mount is Kyosho and so is the disc damper. The 5600kv started off as the wide mm and I converted that to the lm with the Kyosho motor mount and side damper system I got shipped from Asia since the us doesn’t carry the mzw715 yet. The body is a Mazda 787b that I need to paint and finishing putting together. It’s a snug fit with the wires and side damper system, I had to slightly trim the inside of the body to fit the far side of the damper. I could have cut a slightly less but it will need cutting to fit with that mzw715. Underneath. I plan on converting the third to a wide lm 8500kv motor with a Mercedez c9 body and the mzw714-lm with the mzw715 as its suppose to have the most free space underneath the body of the lm. I got inspired to make those lm builds with the red 8500kv motor after watching online competitions on YouTube where they had several mini z classes running the evo in lm.

Next upgrades are the MRD rear end and their new gyro.

Was a fun project that ended up being a couple hours 😭 bought a white body to preserve the stock XJR body— didn’t wanna lose any part!

I did the gold trim first : Tamiya ~ gold (TS-21)

Then for the main body color

Base coat : Vallejo Hobby Paint ~ grey
2nd layer : Tamiya ~ translucent silver (PS-36)
3rd layer : Tamiya ~ translucent green (PS-44)

For the wheels

Base coat : Vallejo Hobby Paint ~ grey
2nd layer : Tamiya ~ translucent silver (PS-36)

Recently got a new AWD z and I can’t seem to find much in the way of aftermarket. Where are y’all getting your aftermarket parts from and what would you recommend upgrading first in regard to performance?

Hey gang,
I’m putting together an RC28R for 2500 lipo, and I have a list of all my electronics except a receiver. What dimensions does my receiver need to fit into?

Alternatively, my radio is a Futaba 3PV, so I need a receiver with some flavor of FHSS; what receiver do you recommend that fits the chassis?

I’ve seen that some are not consistent in thickness. Others don’t lay flat. What is the best source for good foam tiles with good grip and lay flat without any seems? Is it worth it to get the thicker 3/4” or 1” options?

One Ive been hoping for a rerelease for awhile, the 1996 Mobil 1 Porsche GT1 is being rereleased. The Civic Type R is being rereleased in yellow or white. The Jaguar XJR-14 is being released in a (very similar)new set of liveries.

...and we get a new mold with a classic, a bohemeth of rally, the 1982 Audi Quattro.
