    I recently destroyed my ACL riding BMX and stumbled upon Mini-Z to pass the time as I heal. Anyway, I'd like to make at track like yours and maybe start a club around Seoul, South Korea. It'd be great to know a bit more about how you started the club, what you need, etc. And more about that track, it looks dope. Thanks for posting and I look forward to learning more.

    Great video! I really appreciate the attention to tire specs! Looks like you set them up for more neutral handling with the staggered compound. Love this information!

    Great video! Just to mention, you also need to purchase rims as stock tires are glued to the rims that comes stock

    Great video, nice club track. I have a few Mini-Z's too but my all-time favorite are Dnano's, I have my own club setup too with 3 Home Circuit tracks. They're much smaller 1/43 but nowadays there getting pricey but the track is easier to setup, change configurations and tearing down and the best thing is the built-in transponders and the small mass of the cars break less and 1 cell lipo batteries that last quote a while racing. Again great video

    • @jarvzRC
      @jarvzRC  Před rokem

      Thank you! Yeah Dnano’s are so rare now, I can see them being awesome to race too!

    This looks great, but the scale speed is SO fast! I’ve also watched the drift cars and that looks fun too, but the drift angles, like the real cars is so extreme. It would be cool if we could come up with a hybrid version that lowers the scale speed and allows some drift, somehow lowering the grip to a more realistic level without the extreme drift angles. Imagine being able to play around with understeer and oversteer like in a full sized (non-drift) race car!

    Great Video, very well thought out and presented, I just ordered my first Mini-Z today! Where in Australia can you find PN Racing batteries? I've had a look online but I can't find them.

    Great video, very helpful - thank you. I already know that I want to start my RC reunion with Kyosho MINI-Z. Just can't decide on my first (but not last) one. Should I got with RWD MR-03 or 4x4 Crawler... that's the question. It's so hard to pick the first one! :D

    • @jarvzRC
      @jarvzRC  Před 7 měsíci

      MR-03 is my choice! Though I'd only get back into it if I could race at a club... I had two attempts at Mini-Z in the past, early around 2004 then again 2008, and quit each time.. This time it has stuck since I've been able to race

    Well that sucks, I bought an MA-02 awd car because the guy at the store said awd would be better handling.

    I have a question:
    I would like to order an inexpensive TX and RX for my future Kyosho
    Mini-x MR04 EVO 2! Can I use the Kyosho KT531P ? Do you ( or somebody) have a tip 🙏for an affordable TX and RX?

    How do these cars run without a track? I've only seen them used on track.

    • @jarvzRC
      @jarvzRC  Před 7 měsíci +1

      They can run okay on smooth clean concrete, I used to run them on netball courts back in the day before the foam tracks were around

    What is the maximum voltage of a miniZ? I want to change the battery to 2x 18650, which is 8.4v peak. Will this burn out the electronics?

    • @jarvzRC
      @jarvzRC  Před 7 měsíci

      Haven't tried it myself, but from what I've read, you can use lipo batts with the MR-03 EVO

    What is the runtime of a stock brushed RWD ready set compare to brushless?

    • @jarvzRC
      @jarvzRC  Před 7 měsíci

      Haven’t tested the difference between them and I usually switch batteries between races so I don’t know the answer. In home practice though, for both brushed and brushless , I’ve found that one pack can last for 2x 8min races and drop off on the 3rd race. Or just doing lap practice they last 20-40mins

    • @jguillermoii
      @jguillermoii Před 7 měsíci

      Hello. I am not planning to race not just yet. I am considering a brushless ready set, does it require a lipo battery?

    Thats weird youre only running RWD touring cars. I mean if you ever want to step up to 1/10th TC thats dominated by AWD classes because they run faster and handle better.

    Does Tamiya motors work on Mini-Zs? I'm thinking of upgrading the stock motor to a Light Dash motor.
