Kyosho MX-01 "Catappi" Belt Crawler Unit (2)
The Kyosho MX-01 "Catappi" Belt Crawler Unit, is a belt track conversion intended to replace standard tires on MX-01 kits to replicate a tough, track equipped rig for dramatically expanded performance in a variety of terrain. The belt has a full-scale structure that connects high-precision molded shoes with stainless steel pins. The belt itself does not stretch very much, preventing the belt from coming off while driving. In addition, the track type system improves the ability to overcome large steps and improve performance in rough terrain.
The tracks feature a soft material "grip plate" and sharp "spike parts". By installing these, the road surface that can be driven will be further expanded. Since the sprocket diameter is 24mm compared to the standard tire diameter of 37/42 mm, it lowers the gearing and helps to create the torque needed to clear rocky obstacles and steep slopes. Once assembled, the "Catappi" can be installed and removed as easily as changing tires.
NOTE: Two sets are required to replace four wheels.
Features:
- After assembly, it can be installed with a single screw (assembly KIT)
- Compatible with road surface types that cannot be driven with tires
- Flexible control of the rotation of the unit itself
- Design that makes it difficult for the belt to come off
- Improved approach angle, departure angle, road clearance, trackability, and grip
- 2 pieces <2 sets are required for 1 car (4 wheels)>
- Compatible with all MINI-Z 4x4 models
Needed to Complete:
- Phillips screw driver #1
- Nippers for plastic models (flush cutters)
- Needle nose pliers

Kyosho MX-01 "Catappi" Belt Crawler Unit (2)
Tracks! I'm totally digging these tracks. Now my mini-z 4x4 4Runner blends right in with the tanks on the shelf. Tracks! First off, these are fiddly little model kits to put together. They don't come assembled. Plan on burning up an afternoon with assembly. Traction and climbing abilities have definitely changed. In some ways, maybe not for the better, but hey tracks! It's pretty cool looking with tracks and there's a lot more clearance. Most of all, Tracks!
