Thank you brother, I do too! My favorite part of this hobby is just looking at the beautiful Autoscales. Being able to drive them around the house is just icing on the cake 😸
@@BMR3 The autoscales are cool. And drifting with them is fun too. I wish Kyosho would start producing the metallic or chrome ones again. Those ones are a bit more exciting 😀
Thank you for the support brother!! Hopefully I will find the time to film some drift videos or a chassis review. That’s the type of content I want to be making but I just can’t find the time anymore.
Very cool!! I have a Ma020 r32 kit(dark grey) the rear seems to sit funny againt the Ma020. One wheel seems to be a little more in vs the other and the same wheels seems to be a little off center in the rear arch. Nothings bent or something like that. Have you experienced this with the r32 mounting to mini z chassis?
Yup, it sounds like the little white tabs inside your R32 body are not perfectly aligned causing the body to sit awkwardly on the chassis. You can VERY carefully pry the white tabs out with something like a dental pick, or I have used the flat blade of an exaco knife. You just need to wedge something in between the white clip and the body and VERY VERY carefully & slowly pull the tab off. Sometimes they come off easy and sometimes they are a bitch. Once you have them off, just clean off the old adhesive and reglue them back on the body as far down and evenly as you can. Alternatively, you can go the full boat and swap over to magnet mounts. Highly recommend going with magnet mounts since it makes changing the batteries 10,000x easier & you don’t put stress on the body by prying it off the chassis every time.
@@BMR3 had to do alot of trimming on the front end and had to file the offset on my wheels, but now i use the s13 body cus i found out that it fits without any rubbing as well and has perfect fitment so it looks super clean
@@CokePopLabs so your running a zero offset rim right? I noticed that I had to put zero offset rims on my R32 & has to sand down the linkages so the rim dident rub, but how did you get the S13 to fit? Did you cut down the linkages or sand the arms? That’s awesome you got such a narrow body on the XRX!
@@BMR3 yea ive got 0 offset on all the wheels, i had to cut down the plastic that you screw the metal bit into on the ball cups to be able to make em shorter and had to sand them like u said so they dont rub the wheels and for the steering links i had to trim the metal piece with some wire cutters to be able to screw the 2 ball cup ends together closer took me about 2 months to get it running with no issue but now it runs amazing
nope, I've had to source the internet to come up with my collection. I'm confident I'm only missing the red pearl R32 but still, it would be nice if Kyosho had cataloged all their releases...
I want to get a 1:28 drifter. I like the idea of mini z’s but I kind of want more options. I might do some racing as well on RCP tracks. Any recommendations? Around $500, $600 if extra stuff needed
GLA is a good option, especially with the hyper crank to add extra steering angle. You can drift it (some consider AWD power sliding & not true drifting) but you can also turn around & slap grip tires on it to turn some wick lap times. To be honest with your budget you could get both the ma-020 & a MR-03 so one is dedicated for drift & the other for grip/racing.
@@BMR3 thanks man!! In terms of performance can the mini Z’s compete with a lot of stuff out there? (Like gla, drz etc..) Just trying to find bang for buck. Thanks for the content, making me excited to join the dark side!
@@riderdav muwahahaha! Welcome to the dark side To be honest, the mr-03 can hold its own against other RWD chassis on a grip track, but the ma-020 can’t hold a candle any dedicated RWD drift chassis. It depends on what you plan on doing the most. Will you be racing with others or driving home alone (like me)? If your a lone wolf I would say get a dedicated RWD drift chassis like the DRZv2 or Drift Art & have fun with it. If you decide you want to “race” around the house then you can reverse the gyro direction, severely limit the steering angle & slap some grippy tires on there. However, if you plan on going to a track to race or even play around with friends in a grip situation, you want a dedicated racer chassis. You can pick up a rtr mr-03 for under $200 & you can build a DRZv2 for around $300 if you have a transponder (keep in mind $300 is a conservative estimate, electronics will be a big variable). Also keep in mind that a drift chassis can carry a lot of speed if your just driving around the house in a large wide open area (like a hallway connect to a living room. Lots of area to gain speed & a wide open space to throw her into).
@@BMR3 I think I’ve decided, I’ll get a dedicated rwd. I feel like I’ll have more fun as I’m just lone wolf at the moment. One last question (I’m sorry) if you could pick between drzv2/ XRX/ GL what would you pick?
@@riderdav DRZv2 hands down. The Drift Art 2.5 summer edition is a better chassis but it’s ALOT more complicated to build. GL & XRX have a sliding rack for steering that I’m not a fan off. DRZv2 uses a bell crank. Just some random info.
I had the opportunity to buy the black one about a year ago... But I felt it was a dangerous road to travel. 🤣🤣. They look sick dude. I've purchased stuff from mu tech a few times. Very sound. Sold me a VE Pro without the handset once I asked. Beautiful chrome.
Already have it & did an unboxing for it, not sure what happened to that video tho. I have all the R32s that Kyosho has produce minus 1. I’m only missing the pearl red version…
@@jadiashkibldhnd3102 it’s a hard one to find! I’ve been on the hunt for one for months & only have come across one so far, sadly I was too late by a few minutes & missed out 😿
They look lush.
Thank you, they are my new babies!
Good to hear from you buddy !
Thank you brother & I hope your doing good too!
@@BMR3 Everything is OK. I'm just back to have fun with my RCs after several months due to family issues.
So much fun to hammer the trigger again!!!!
sick bodies!! can't wait to see the collection complete 👍
I’m getting there 😁😁 but it seems like this final red R32 is very elusive. I’ll find her eventually but hopefully it won’t cost an arm & a leg 😂
@@BMR3 oh its goin to lol
Initial D 4 LYFE! 🥰🐶 #NightKids #RedSuns #SpeedStars #Emperor ❤️🥰🐶😎
Just came across your channel, super useful for a noob like me, thanks for your efforts!
Thank you for the support brother!!
Just got the 50th anniversary jkb86 to start my 86 collection. Starting with the unicorn for me.
Love those new bodies 😍

U should show us ur whole Collection in one vid soon
I still need to collect 1 more R32 then I will 😉 its in the works
Love it bro!
Thank you brother! I’m sooo close to completing the collection 😁 I can smell it!
@@BMR3 can't wait for my r32
Always enjoy watching your videos bro

@BMR3 Thank you, excellent and will do!
dang ive got the red pearl 32 and its so clean but its my drift body for my xrx dpa
Lol I’m on the hunt for my pearl red & I’ll find one eventually! Nice drift body! How did you get your XRX to fit the narrow mini-z body?
@@BMR3 had to do alot of trimming on the front end and had to file the offset on my wheels, but now i use the s13 body cus i found out that it fits without any rubbing as well and has perfect fitment so it looks super clean
the s13 was my main body i used for my mini z until i switched to the xrx but i just recently got it to fit without issue

is there any resource that list down all the model produced? to find out what's missing etc.

Wooo! Very Nice mr BMR sir! 😍🐶😎
MeWow it’s JakeDogg! Hope your doing well buddy!!
Can those bodies be used on a mini z or are the just model cars?
These are Mini-Z bodies, they are called "autoscales" since they double as models, but you can also drive them around.
