MR-04EVO2 (Kyosho 32895) chassis: sensored power and front-end refinement
Why Kyosho revised the Mini-Z layout
The MR-04EVO2 refines the Mini-Z concept by keeping core packaging while applying targeted mechanical updates. Notable changes include a sensored brushless MM2 motor configuration, lower battery placement to reduce centre of gravity, and a front suspension geometry rewrite aimed at smoother, more predictable steering inputs.
Front suspension detail and handling impact
A kingpin-integrated knuckle works with an upgraded upper arm to maintain camber under corner loads. Modified caster and trail figures produce a more consistent steering feel, and the stiffer front suspension arm helps the chassis resist deflection. Key pivots run on 3 mm inner-diameter ball bearings to cut rotational drag, and selected anodized aluminium parts add structural stiffness.
Drivetrain and electronics notes
The kit is packaged with a KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE XSPEED 41 motor (KV4100) on an MM2 mount and includes a ball differential to manage rear traction during tight turns. The control unit supports high-speed receiver protocols and allows RPM tuning via the I.C.S. Setting Manager. A gyro is not supplied so builders can choose a stabilizer that matches their setup.
Setup flexibility and options
Front tread is adjustable by using different lower and upper plates and by changing the steering tie rod for narrow or wide track. Wheelbase positions are selectable to fit various bodies, and replacement front springs are available as optional parts for drivers wanting alternate rates. These features prioritize handling predictability and body fitment versatility.
Intended user
The chassis set is aimed at Mini-Z enthusiasts who want a modern sensored brushless platform with better front-end geometry. It appeals to tuners and collectors who value a mechanically capable, upgrade-ready Mini-Z base.
