Kyosho's MINI-Z series has led the micro RC scene for years, and the Mini-Z 4x4 refines that heritage with a chassis designed for articulated trail work and a body finished to realistic standards. This Suzuki Jimny rendition brings scale authenticity to tight-radius crawling tracks.
The new body panels are manufactured from denser material that resists scuffs and bends better than earlier shells. That durability helps preserve trim and decals during hard use on rocks and rough soil.
The MX-01 ladder-inspired chassis uses a 3-link rigid axle arrangement where the pair of upper links are merged into a single A-arm. This layout boosts axle articulation and keeps tyres planted when negotiating uneven obstacles, while the 130-class motor provides the necessary torque range.
Steering is handled by a high-torque servo matched to the powerplant for steady, predictable inputs. The included pinion options make it straightforward to set gear ratios for either torque-heavy crawling or slightly higher speed runs.
The Kyosho Mini-Z 4x4 offers a compact, scale-focused crawling platform well suited to hobbyists who prefer precise, technical trail work in a ready-to-run package.
