i just got my rig 2 days ago. i got the charcoal black version. i saw some parts on Ebay for the mini-z 4x4 and i ordered them before the truck even came. i ended up waitng for 3 months from A-Main hobbies. i would love to upgrade it as you have shown. ive done a lot with scx24s as well. now its the mini-z 4x4 turn. awesome informational video as always.
Great info here buddy. I just got a mini z clone. It’s good but the electronics aren’t great. He still sells the parts and more mini z stuff on his eBay page.
I have the Toyota 4x4 as you have in the video!!! I can't wait to upgrade mine to this! I will the flysky gt5 radio and reciever and a mini hitec servo and a micro 30amp esc. I already have the same hex adapters and new tires!! The stock servo is not powerful enough. To turn the wheels.
Good work, explanations at the top and excellent upgrade for this great Kyosho, 3D is really at the top for our hobby. Nice gift you make for these 3D objects .
thanks for the hex adapter video! it really optimized the performance. next is the weight distribution ;) and i got some heavy duty grease for the shox to stop the jumpyness.
Thanks bro, Brian has came up with some good mods for this truck. I really like the electronics replacement kit from him. Let's you put in a 3 wire servo and get rid of all those batteries. I used an Axial esc and a 2s lipo in mine. Got rid of a bunch of weight and gave it better low end with more top end
Hi. I recently picked up this truck. Did you know that it has a stop feature? That 1st push of reverse often turns on the stop gear built into their ESC. Then the 2nd push goes into reverse. I think that is what you were experiencing. Cheers. Thanks for the video, I want to upgrade my tires now!
Yes, I know about the brake feature. Seems like a hold over from Mini-Z cars or something. Kinda inconvenient for crawling in my opinion. I like for the drag brake to become active when I let off the throttle, and for it to go directly to reverse when I want reverse. New tires made a good improvement, but then the steering servo was weak. As I understand there are a lot more upgrades now than back when I did this video. I may have to explore some of them in the future. Thanks for watching bro 👍
Hi Bullgear, could you please let me know how you were able to connect the motor and what plug you used? Ive just bought a Furitek Lizard Pro ESC and don't know how to connect it. It handles 3s Lipo
not sure if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few months xD
The axials are so much better imo, my mini z has been nothing but a headache. The mini z just has bad design on a few things and breaks way to easy compared to the scx24. It was my favorite at first but after owning it for awhile I'll never buy another one ever.
I just picked up a charcoal version not too long ago, I love the Yoda! So I got the crawling bug and also picked up the 118 scale RC4wd Gelande 2. Have To admit, I enjoy driving the Yoda better, it just looks so much more cooler with the long travel shock flex. Selling Gelande, its looking like. Also, def am Interested in joining the giveaway you are offering. Thanks brother and have a great day!
Great video ,just got my silver Hulu’s.thanks for the great upgrade videos.i would definately like to win the give away parts if it’s not too late ?Thanks again
At first, not as capable as scx24, but it is a hard body, so it's to be expected. Now, i will have to give it a proper shake down run to see. I think it has good potential.
@@TJthercGuy lol, did they have their radio in crawler mode? If light on radio is solid, that's not crawler mode. Light must be flashing. You hold radio in full reverse and turn it on for crawler mode 😎
BullgearRC videos not sure just seen a guy with 1 messing around at a local shop. But that is for the tip. That’s handy info if I end up getting 1 sometime. I kinda wanna do a orlandoo build at some point. 😊
Such an over priced POS. Especially when upgraded, sold mine as soon as all the upgrades made their way onto 4runner. Got all $350+ back as there are weirdos on eBay...

I love micro crawlers. I have 6 of them. The scale accessories are awesome!
Check out Sleekun on ebay, link below. His prints are good quality 👍
You definitely have a contender there,nice to see you can upgrade the electronic in those little trucks😎😎👍👍
Thanks James, little guy has some horse power now🤣
👍 Nice that looks way better now!
Thanks bro

It's a cool little truck👍

Thanks brother, yes 3d printing is really moving our hobby forward. These designers are ahead of the manufacturers for sure
@@BullgearRCvideos 😊👍
Nice little kit.... A definite improvement I’m sure. 😎👌🏻
Yeah, much better in my opinion 👍

hello, nice video it's nice to watch your channel, have a good day 👍
Thanks brother I appreciate it 👍
any tips on installing that servo? i bought the same one and the screws provided in my Sleekun kit slip right through
It has been a while since I did that build, and Don't remember the specifics, but most likely I used some washers or different screws
Definitely want to enter to win! I have two Kyosho Mini 4x4 4Runners and a Jimny too...
You are entered 👍
BullgearRC videos thank you!

What servo did you use
Eco power sub micro 13g
Very cool nice upgrades! 👌
How you liking the mini z so far?

BullgearRC videos awesome I’ll keep a eye out for the running video. I’ve seen them stock and it seemed to be lacking in the power department. 🤔

reverse simply requires a double tap - no??
Not any more. Fixed it👊💪🤣
Really surprised at Kyosho not using decent parts. Made it look very toy-like :( nice of on fixing it up
Lol, yeah, its hobby grade now bro👍
Great vid
Thanks bro👍
Very cool.
Thanks bro👍 I was watching you fly and got dizzy 🤣
@@BullgearRCvideos haha get used to it.
awesome dude
subbed bro
Thanks brother👍
@@BullgearRCvideos can't wait for the next vid bro
Nice!! subscribe! good!! Click!
Yo man I have this truck I am wanting to be in the giveaway
I am interested to win sir 🤙🏽
I have the same mini z as yours fully unboxed the only mod I did was putting a lipo battery and changing from philips head to hex screws
Thanks for watching brother, I will ad you to the drawing 🤙
Bro just wondering what esc are you using and are you using the stock remote transmitter or gottah get another?
@@mo4lyph57rcmc7 I used an esc from a SCX24 and the controller from the SCX24.
BullgearRC videos nice one I’ll prolly do the same appreciated your knowledge mahalo for that🤙🏽🤙🏽
Such an over priced POS. Especially when upgraded, sold mine as soon as all the upgrades made their way onto 4runner. Got all $350+ back as there are weirdos on eBay...
Other than scale looks of this rig, it needs a lot of work for sure.
Sounds like a money pit to make it right.
Most RCs share that same quality 🤣
