Compact Racer: Kyosho MINI-Z MR-04EVO2 Chassis Overview

The Kyosho 32890 MINI-Z MR-04EVO2 chassis set refines the MINI-Z on-road formula with targeted mechanical updates. It keeps the familiar MR-03 architecture while adding parts and geometry changes that help deliver steadier handling and better driver feedback.

Front-End Design for Predictable Turns

A redesigned kingpin knuckle improves camber retention when cornering, and the revised caster and trail layout give a balanced steering feel. The sensored brushless motor enhances throttle control so acceleration is more manageable out of slow and fast corners.

Setup Options for Track and Street

The MR-04EVO2 offers several setup permutations to match bodies and surfaces. Moveable wheelbase positions allow fine tuning for balance, and switching plates plus adjusting the steering tie rod changes front and rear tread widths to suit handling preferences.

Driveability and Low Friction Components

The ball differential helps the rear wheels rotate at differing speeds during turns to maintain traction, while 3mm internal diameter ball bearings reduce drivetrain losses. A lower battery mounting lowers the centre of gravity, aiding quicker direction changes.

This chassis set suits enthusiasts who enjoy setup work and want a MINI-Z that responds predictably to tuning. The MR-04EVO2 delivers a controlled platform for close on-road racing.

No welding is required. The chassis arrives as a set of components that bolt together using standard hobby tools. Use thread locker on metal screws if you plan on heavy running.
The design uses AAA cells mounted low in the chassis. Use quality alkaline or NiMH AAA cells for consistent weight and voltage during club meets or practice runs.
Yes, the chassis supports a range of MINI-Z compatible tyres and wheels. Changing tyre compound and width is a common way to tune grip and steering response.
Wear parts like bearings, pinion gears, and wheel nuts are commonly available. Keep spare small parts on hand to minimise downtime between sessions.
