Advanced technology and performance condensed into Mini-Z size. AWD and 4-wheel independent suspension begin a new stage in Mini-Z history!
The temptation for Kyosho to recreate the same high performance and style of a true AWD (all-wheel-drive) in Mini-Z size was simply too much to resist. The advanced design combines a shaft driven AWD with a precision 4-wheel independent suspension using a king-pin and strut system in an ultra-compact chassis. The addition of newly designed front and rear differential units using crown and pinion gears produces high efficiency drive performance with similar low levels of resistance to the existing 2WD version. Also, the addition of the AWD drive train hardly increases the weight of the chassis at all, enabling the benefits of AWD to be realized without any downside. The final result is a powerful chassis with awesome handling. The narrow 65mm width of the chassis also matches a wide range of the exquisite car bodies that the Mini-Z is famous for. The design also allows for personalized setting adjustments such as easy toe angle changes with optional parts. This AWD chassis introduces a completely new dimension to the high-tech world of micro racing.
Mid-ship motor mount on the shaft driven AWD produces ideal driving characteristics.
King-pin strut system on the 4-wheel independent suspension realizes advanced running performance.
Fully assembled chassis includes pre-installed RA-12 receiver unit with built-in ESC.
Precision universal swing shafts are fitted on all axles. Produces uninhibited suspension movement and transfer of drive power.
3-bevel differential drives all four wheels and uses a crown and pinion with specially designed gear teeth.
Advanced precision technology has been employed to deliver the ultra-reliable differential unit.
One-touch tie-rods can be easily attached or removed. Optional tie-rods can be used to adjust front and rear toe angle settings.
