*Can be operated with previous MINI-Z Racer ASF2.4 GHz 2-channel transmitter.

Chassis pre-installed with high performance brushless motor!
Next generation MINI-Z introduces even more durability and power!

The next evolution of the MINI-Z Racer now incorporates the latest brushless motor technology into its performance. Never used before on a MINI-Z, The body/chassis set comes with an optional Xspeed VE ECO Tune Brushless Motor as standard, which boasts easy-to-drive characteristics and outstanding run time; non-contact properties that minimize wear and reduce electrical noise to deliver outstanding linear response and smooth acceleration for a sensorless brushless motor that is approved for use in the MINI-Z Cup and other official races. A limit applied to maximum RPM keeps the playing field level for all drivers. In addition, a newly designed circuit board with ICS function connects to a PC (adapter sold separately) for precision setting adjustments. Just download the ‘ICS VE Manager’ software from the Kyosho website to manage the brushless motor settings and remove the RPM limit to extract the full potential from your machine. The newly designed upper cover also allows simple mounting of the optional gyro on top and the chassis is equipped. Now the MR-03’s dynamic performance is turbo-charged with brushless motor power to mark a new stage in the evolution of MINI-Z performance and technology.

The Xspeed VE ECO Tuen Brushless Motor installed in the body/chassis set boasts easy-to-drive characteristics and outstanding run time.

 

Newly developed brushless motor circuit board can be added onto the MR-03 chassis. Equipped with 3 LEDs to indicate correct operation and ICS function.

 

Upper cover redesigned to match new circuit board and is compatible with all existing body types. Features space on top for mounting optional gyro.

High quality gold plated motor terminals and silicon cables included as standard to manage the high power output.

brushless motor
In place of the brush and commutator used in brushed motors up until now, brushless motors rely on the electric circuit to power the motor. To generate power, brushed motors required constant contact between the brush and commutator, which generated resistance and caused wear on the contact areas to reduce the motor's durability.
Brushless motors eliminate this problem and produce higher power output, torque and higher top end performance from the same power input. As there is no contact area, durability is improved so the motor maintains its higher level of performance for longer. These characteristics allow R/C models to perform at higher levels than ever before.

MR-03 Chassis Types
<Note: When Converting>
●Front treadWhen converting to narrow or wide tread, the appropriate type of front lower and upper plates as well as the steering tie rod are required.
●Rear treadInstall the special wheels included on the each body.
●WheelbaseAdjust with the parts included on the body.
VCS (Variable Camber Suspension) takes performance to a new dimension!

Upper arms connected to king pins and knuckles with ball links allow the camber angle to change with suspension stroke, just like on a real car. Tire contact with the surface remains constant, even during chassis roll and suspension stroke from surface tracing. The newly developed digital steering servo uses a coreless motor that delivers quick steering response and sharp maneuverability that feels like its riding on rails. Also, the upper arm and one-piece cantilever provide ideal cushioned movement for the coil spring. In addition, the stainless steel king pin and wheel shaft delivers smooth movement for excellent running stability. Precision geometry settings eliminate toe in and toe out change during suspension stroke and produce a neutral steering feel. The innovative VCS (Variable Camber Suspension) represents a significant evolutionary step in the history of the MINI-Z.
Newly developed digital steering servo features coreless motor and new gear reduction ratio
The powerful position retention and movement of the digital servo is enhanced with the adoption of a coreless motor that provides instantaneous pick up and stopping. In addition, the newly developed steering gear unit has 3 times the gear ratio of previous versions for greater power in holding its position so it holds its line firmly in the face of kickbacks from the road surface and also delivers even more precise movement and response.
