Kyosho MX-01 Mini-Z 4X4 Readyset with Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Body! 

The Kyosho MX-01 Mini-Z 4X4 Readyset with Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Body takes the MX-01 series to an even greater level of mini-class detail! With black over-fenders, front grille with dark grey accent, and the distinctive Jeep round headlights, the formidable styling of the black hard top is immaculately reproduced in a model that rests in the palm of your hand.

The MX-01 series is built with the attention to scale detail and quality design expected of Kyosho, and a design that allows MINI-Z fans to expand their horizons with climbing and crawling capabilities. This scale 4x4 beauty features a fine-tuned overall design, superior driving performance and high-quality injection-molded scale body and details. 


Mini Z Molded Body Details
Injection molded bodies enhanced with accessory parts recreate a level of detail in the MINI-Z 4x4 series that surpasses all MINI-Z bodies that have come before.

Chassis and Geometry Details
The same ladder frame and multi-link rigid-axle suspension commonly used in popular 1:10-scale off-road models is condensed into Mini-Z size for the most articulation and performance available in any mini RC truck.

 

 

Features:
  • PAINTED BODY: Fully pre-painted body looks like a luxury diecast car replica. The thicker body material also provides superior durability. Succeeding through a series of grueling off-road tests, this Jeep® has earned the "TRAIL RATED®" badge it wears proudly on the left side as a mark of its proven off-road performance. This MINI-Z 4x4 version embodies the spirit and performance of the original Jeep® for you to enjoy.
  • FRONT GRILLE & LED LIGHTS: The signature seven slot front grille of the Jeep® has been reproduced in immaculate detail, including back mesh netting. Original cut design of the headlight lenses, indicators and tail lights are reproduced as clear parts so you can incorporate the optional LED lights to enjoy an ultra-realistic car experience. 
  • MATTE BLACK PAINT: Matte black coating enhances the texture of the Freedom Top® and the black overfender that wraps the trapezoidal wheel arch. The highly detailed finish is applied to mirrors, wipers, door handles, tail light protectors as well as the bonnet grille, bonnet hood catch and radio antenna. However, the keyhole is finished in silver.
  • BODY MOUNT: A one-touch body mounting system is used instead of the mounts commonly used on all previous Mini-Z cars and trucks. The system uses spring-wire retainers to quickly and easily install and remove the body.
  • LADDER FRAME: The Mini-Z 4x4 incorporates a ladder frame design with steel vertical plates, in combination with various molded parts, to deliver the ultimate balance of of rigidity and flex for superior performance and durability.
  • SOLID AXLES: Solid front and rear axles feature links with steel rods and captured rod ends. Ring and pinion gears, in addition to other gears and components, feature metal construction to withstand the heavy loads under the toughest driving conditions.
  • STEEL LINK & BALL END: The upper A-arms and lower links that connect the front and rear axles to the chassis, feature strong steel links and captured ball ends. This is the ideal design for strength, maximum range of motion, and smooth operation.
  • COIL OVER TYPE, SHOCK ABSORBER: The shock absorbers feature 360-degree spring retainers, which means they can't be lost on the trail and the springs are more likely to re-seat when the suspension settles after hard impacts or operating at the extreme limits of the suspension. The spring retainers simply cannot come loose.
  • ADJUSTABLE WHEELBASE: The 4WD system transmits drive force to the wheels from the main gear unit in the center of the chassis through front and rear center shafts. The wheelbase can be set to either 110mm or 120mm by adjusting the length of the spacers on the upper arms (the Jeep® uses a 120mm setting).
  • STEERING ANGLE: The front axle features ideal Ackermann geometry. Combined with the advanced design of the axle housing and the other steering components, this model features the tightest turning radius in Mini-Z history. It means the Mini-Z 4x4 has exceptional handling capability for anything ranging from casual driving to hard-core crawling.
  • DRAG LINK & TIE ROD: The steering servo drag link and the rugged molded tie rod are part of a steering system that delivers an incredible amount of steering angle, which results in excellent rock crawling capability.
  • TIRES & WHEELS: This model features a scale reproduction of Toyo Tire's export brand "Nitto Ridge Grappler" tires mounted on custom wheels.
  • BATTERY TRAY: Four AAA batteries are located on top-front section of the chassis to ensure good ground clearance and achieve realistic rock crawler performance.
  • GEARBOX AND GEARS: The gearbox features molded covers and includes 6 pinion gears that allow adjustment from ultra-low gearing for steep terrain, through to high-speed gearing for smooth running on flat roads. In addition, the need for annoying backlash adjustments has been negated with the special spacer mounted on the outside of the motor.
  • SLIPPER CLUTCH: A standard slipper clutch protects the drive system by reducing the torque when excessive load is applied. Note the metal upper shaft and primary gear for durability.
  • 18 FULL BALL BEARING SPECIFICATIONS: The best drive efficiency is accomplished with the included set of 18 ball bearings, factory installed to ensure the smoothest most efficient operation possible, right out of the box.
  • 130 MOTOR: The Mini-Z 4x4 features a specially-designed high-torque motor that is unique in the Mini-Z World. It's optimized for maximum torque, and it develops more power at lower speeds.
  • SPEED CONTROLLER: The on-board electronics are also unique to the Mini-Z 4x4, with special features that improve the crawling experience. The accessory ports on top of the board allow an optional gyro (KYOMZW431) and an optional LED light set (KYOMZW429R) to be easily plugged in to enhance performance and realism.
  • STEERING SERVO: The component steering servo features its own casing to allow enhanced performance, and it connects to the receiver/ESC with an independent connector.
  • FHSS / KT-531P TRANSMITTER: Included KT-531P transmitter operates on FHSS 2.4GHz and features steering/throttle trim in addition to dual-rate adjustment of steering angle and LED control functions. Control feel has improved with adoption of sponge steering wheel. Gyro effect can be fine-tuned through volume adjustment.*Not compatible with conventional ASF/MHS/FHS 2.4GHz systems. Also not compatible with KO I.C.S systems.
    • Light Unit Trim: Use to turn lights off/on when optional light unit is installed
    • Steering Dual Rate: Adjust amount of steering throw
    • Steering wheel: Sponge grip of the steering wheel provides comfortable fit for precision control feel

Fun little scale crawler. Keep in mind, this is not intended to be a comp rig, dont expect it to be an evil beast out of the box. I haven't found alot of brass or aftermarket support, but haven't looked hard. I did install brass front knuckles and rear caps. That did help some. I really like the scale feel of this little fella. It is a nice change from the more competition based trucks. If you can get a good price on this, it is worth the buy. At the full price, I would personally pass on it and put that cash elsewhere.

Kyosho MX-01 Mini-Z 4X4 Readyset w/Jeep Wrangler Body (Grey)
Great little scale crawler, surprisingly capable in my opinion, looks fantastic. A lot of people, not for this particular model, compare the Mini-z to the SCX-24. That is like comparing apples to oranges. Since the Mini-z is 1/28 scale and is DESIGNED to be a scale crawler, it will probably never crawl as well as an SCX-24. But that is okay, because the SCX-24 is designed for maximum performance at the cost of scale looks while again the main feature of the Mini-z is scale looks. A lot of foolish people buy the Mini-z expecting it to crawl as well as an SCX-24 and are disappointed when it doesn't. Somebody else posted in a review it is a poor basher, yeah... it wasn't designed to be a basher. I have two Mini-zs and two SCX-24s and I like all of them for different reasons.

My only gripes are that I don't like the radio, I don't like how it hesitates to go in reverse. You have to let the throttle go to neutral, wait a split second (I haven't timed it) and then go in reverse. For the cost also, I wish it came with lights.

Long story short, buy a Mini-z for scale looks and an SCX-24 if you want maximum crawling ability.

Great little truck. I have several scx24 trucks as well. I am impressed with the crawling abilities of this truck especially for the size. The scal details are way better then other micro crawlers.

Crawl anywhere you’re at! This little jeep is more than impressive in the looks department. The biggest surprise is that it actually preformed way better than I expected. Given the small diameter tiers and minimal tread I expected to get stuck the second I encountered an obstacle. To my surprise it did what was needed and was able to overcome most obstacles it did have a hard time on steep climbs so I added a set of waited wheels and tiers to the front and that just about makes this thing unstoppable! I would say it’s a lot of fun looks amazing and if you think you want it, get it.

Nice platform for anytime or place! It’s a little on the small side, but it performs bigger than it is! Love it! Only problem is upgrades are hard to find...
