A significant feature of the MINI-Z 4x4 series is the greater emphasis of body detail and quality of finish that even surpasses existing benchmarks set by the MINI-Z. The body is also molded with thicker material to better resist crash damage from operation in rough terrain. Incorporating the same ladder- style frame of real 4WD vehicles, the MINI-Z 4x4 boasts a 3-link rigid axle suspension combining what would normally be two upper links into a single upper A-arm to deliver maximum suspension movement. A specially designed high-torque steering servo enables this machine to throw its elbows around in the hard terrain for excellent performance in the toughest rock-crawler conditions. The high-torque 130-size motor brings out the beast in the MINI-Z 4x4, specially geared to run well in the low to medium speed ranges common in crawling. Designed to balance exquisite style, scale detail and superior driving performance, all the MINI-Z 4x4 needs is 8 x AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately). Enjoy driving under any conditions, from normal driving to rock crawling while appreciating the stunning visual appearance. The Kyosho Mini-Z 4x4 is the only mini crawler that delivers a full range of crawling performance in a smaller package.
● Adopts full-fledged solid axle links similar to the 1/10 scale models, ensuring the driving performance and wheel travel required for crawler models.
● Equipped with a specially tuned high-torque 130 motor. Additionally, the main gear unit features a slipper clutch that protects the drive system by releasing torque when under heavy load.
● Features a high-torque servo specifically designed for crawler models, capable of supporting authentic crawling performance. The steering link optimization achieves the largest steering angle in Mini-Z history.
● Full bearing specification with a total of 18 ball bearings. Metal gears, known for their durability, are used in parts that bear heavy loads.
● The "KT-531P" transmitter uses the FHSS 2.4GHz system and features a sponge on the steering wheel to enhance operability.
● Comes as a fully assembled, ready-to-run model, requiring only the insertion of batteries to begin operation.
● An optional light set (MZW429R) can be installed on the top of the circuit board. The lights respond to throttle operation, and the headlight's lighting interval can be adjusted freely—from steady lighting to blinking—via the transmitter's trim.
● Supports the separately sold gyro unit, and like the RWD/AWD series, manual adjustments can be made via the volume control.
● Equipped with popular BS Goodrich tires.
