    Kyosho Mini-Z

    I'm just so excited how my new wheels fit on my MA020 that I just have to post a pic somewhere and can't find another recent R/C thread! Sure wish Kyosho would release a Miata body for these little guys, been pondering using my Tamiya Miata body on it.

    I'm slowly growing on it, I've always loved the AE86 but wasn't super keen on the body kit my body has until I installed the wheels!

    Got a new body for the MA020, so now it will have it's own dedicated body...also got a set of drift tires and locked the rear diff. Can't wait to start painting!

    I was into these about 10 years ago when they first came out. Used to race a co-worker during lunch breaks. Mine came with a BMW Z8 body that I switched out for the Takata NSX that I modified with custom LED lighting and lots of hop up parts. I haven't touched it in years. Batteries are probably melted inside the chassis. I'll have to dig it out of the closet when I get home. I'd definitely be more interested in it if they offered a NA Miata body. I'm not even sure what version/chassis I've got. It's probably so old it's not supported anymore.

    I have one. My wife (girlfriend at the time) bought it for me as a bday present. Had a friend who built a track in his living room, so we'd go there and race, until the house was demo'ed, for a rebuild.

    Mine was a yellow F40. But I didn't wanna mess up that body, so I bought a Porsche GT3 body to race with.

    Loads of fun.
