It is a fast little car. The acceleration, steering and handling is very good but you need to be smooth with the throttle on the stock tires because it likes to spin the tires.
Will look into the new tires as someone suggested in another review and that should help it a lot im thinking bc that’s exactly whats going on right now.
I love how good the quality of the car and the McClaren P1 GTR Orange/Silver Body is really nice! I wanted the 911 GT3 originally, but out of stock. I am very happy with it. My next choice was the Mercedes AMG GT race car.
Already installed the gyro unit and highly recommend. A mistake was made on my order and the LED kit wasn’t ordered so I will order that and instal it soon.
I ordered the Kyosho Clear Plastic Carrying case with top organizer. I assumed it was made to fit the car below and some parts above, but the top parts tray organizer piece doesn’t fit with the car inside it. Kinda disappointed because it would be perfect for it and its a hardcase vs the soft carrying bag they have for like $40..
My local track is bigg into the mini Z racing as well as the 1/10 scale clay track. So its really fun to run it on it a track setup with lap timing if you get the additional transponder for that. The hobby shop carries them in stock for the races they hold for RWD Mini-Z’s.
Quality is great. Manual is very good and has a nice parts breakdown for each section of the car for doing repairs. Also comes with different pinion gears and chassis parts. Also some tiny cones to set up a track at home!
Would highly recommend. Its nice enough to be just a display piece if you like the car body you’re getting. If they made one for my M3 id own a body for it lol.
