About the Mini-Z Turbo Optima
Chassis & Suspension
The advanced compact design includes a 4WD drive train with a slipper clutch to protect the gears, and 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with oil filled shocks to deliver true racing buggy performance. The seven-stage geared steering servo provides plenty of torque for precision steering response and combines with the control program to realize the MINI-Z’s signature linear handling and light feel.
Electronics
Powered by a brushed motor, this micro buggy is designed to deliver smooth power and fun speeds. The main electronics board supplies power to the motor, as well as the servo. Four AAA batteries are all that is required to power the chassis making it easy to get started.
Body
The MB-010VE Mini-Z Buggy Turbo Optima body pays homage to the legendary off-road racing classic with remarkable attention to detail. Styled after the iconic Turbo Optima, this body captures the essence of vintage off-road racing, with realistic features like rugged front and rear bumpers, a roll cage, and large off-road tires that mimic the original's capability on rough terrain. The robust design enhances durability, allowing the model to handle jumps and rugged courses while maintaining stability. This is an ideal choice for both fans of retro racing and those looking for a versatile, durable mini off-road buggy.

Few things for new users: 1) The shocks don't have oil in them in the box, check the manual for how to add the oil. 2) My battery tray was really snug for some AAA I get in the USA. Kyosho Speed House batteries seem to be a little slimmer and fit more easily. 3) I had to use basically all the shock pre-load collars to keep it level after adding batteries.
