I feel like I need a college class just learning about mini Zs... just now getting into them and good lord. So much info and not a lot of resources out their explaining.
Nah I've just been focused on my day job. I'm very active in the Mini-z groups on FB. These two videos were made to answer a lot of the questions being asked by folks new to this scale.
Yes, however you have to consider that most MR-01 chassis was originally narrow. That said, bodies that are wide used wide offsets. Plan to purchase the associated motor mount and plan to switch to a narrow front end since MR-01 wheels are wider offset meant for a narrow chassis.
Great video. When purchasing a Mini-Z MR03 does it come with the required motor mounts etc to make all of the different configs? I am thinking of buying a couple of these to mount under 1/24 scale model cars or diecasts,
I just ordered my first mini-z and feeling overwhelmed with this amount of information!! I don't really know if I will be able of manage so much!!! 🤦🏽♂️
Which chassis for a 94mm RWD? I want to use a Mitsubishi EVO on a RWD chassis but info is hard to find. MR-03 RM? Kyosho should really make this easier to figure out.
I watched your video on this and it was informative but can you tell me what LM means? Or racing is it better to go with the mid motor, the LM are the rear motor mount I'm guessing mid engine since you don't have the weight over past the rear axle. I don't have a local track this would be something I just be doing at home
Which configuration does what? I.e. what are the advantages of RM vs MM? Which is easiest to drive? Which is fastest? For me... I suck at driving, so easiest to drive would be my best bet.
Hey Gear Head36. To put it in 100 words or less, MM is going to be more nimble and turn in faster because the weight is more centralized. The RM is going to feel slower around corners on tight tracks but more stable on throttle down the straights as the weight is behind the rear axle. Easiest to start with, in my opinion, is the RM because of those characteristics. It will be harder to drive fast which means less mistakes. However, your options for RM are Nissan GTR Part Number 32331S-B (Recommended), Toyota 86 Part Number 32336PW, and Porsche 911 GT3 RS Part Number 32321S-B according to the Kyosho America website.
@@gearhead366 it helps to turn the steering down a bit and reduce the throttle until you are consistent then ramp everything up a couple notches until you are not, then go back a couple clicks.
You will need the LM motor mount MZ305 , LM differential MZ302 and various parts that already come with the MM kit like the T-plate and the rear shock set.

Very informative and explained well. Being new to mini z, I need info like this. Looking forward to seeing your other vids. Definitely subscribed 👍😎👍
I've been thinking about making my mr03 into a dragster this helped me answer a couple of my questions. Thank you
Glad to help Chance.
Wish you would have talked about how it effects the driving of these different frames.
Ah man! Did I take interest in mini z's a little too late? I subbed and turned on notifications, hope your channel is still active.

Super good and clear information!! I definitely picked up a few things here!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome introduction to 2wd mini-z 👍
Thanks 👍
Very informative.
great video! super helpful
Awesome 👌 explanation thank you
amazing job on the video. is it possible to mount mr-01 bodies onto an mr-03 chassis?
Yes, however you have to consider that most MR-01 chassis was originally narrow. That said, bodies that are wide used wide offsets. Plan to purchase the associated motor mount and plan to switch to a narrow front end since MR-01 wheels are wider offset meant for a narrow chassis.

Do you have a local club or track to practice and ask questions?
Need a video around t-plates.
Nice. I'm sure you will save a lot of time for a lot of people. good stuff here.
Thanks 👍. Any suggestions for future videos please let me know.
Is is possible to communicate with you? I am about to buy my first mini RC and have questions.
byebyeracing.com, byebyeracing@gmail.com or you can ask at the mini-z buy/sell/trade group on FB.
Could you put all your mini z for beginners in a playlist?
It's been 2 years, you said you'll bring more videos.
Oh goodness...life happens. I think I need to give the people what they want! Thank you.
Which chassis for a 94mm RWD? I want to use a Mitsubishi EVO on a RWD chassis but info is hard to find. MR-03 RM? Kyosho should really make this easier to figure out.
All of the chassis support 94mm RM. It's the furthest setting with the RM T-plate and RM motor mount.
I watched your video on this and it was informative but can you tell me what LM means? Or racing is it better to go with the mid motor, the LM are the rear motor mount I'm guessing mid engine since you don't have the weight over past the rear axle.

To convert. 98mm to 102mm I only need the lm motor mount set the 102mm dif and tplate? Or is there anything I’m missing thanks
Good Job. Man I wish you made this video months ago! lol
Please share! Thanks for watching!

@@byebyeracing4277 Thanks. That helps a lot. I have a MR-2 MM, and I've always had trouble keeping it off the walls.

I’m new abs confused. I have mr03 rwd. Is this one for drifting?
Whats the fastest configuration around the track?
102mm is very stable and typically wider. 98mm is the most common and covers the range of classes from stock to open class.
Are there still parts available for a mini mr03 ve? I have the opportunity to get one fairly cheap
Yes. Pretty much everything that is available for the MR-03 can be used with the VE with the exception of some Kyosho specific EVO front end parts.
How do I change my mini z wide mm to lm I want to fit the Toyota gt one body on it any help would be appreciated
You will need the LM motor mount MZ305 , LM differential MZ302 and various parts that already come with the MM kit like the T-plate and the rear shock set.
Hey. I can't ever post in that buy sell group on Facebook.
@@Ohio_Hobbies_Guy I'll look at your membership. Unsure why at this point. What's your FB name?
