Kyosho Mini-Z RWD MR-04 readyset VW Beetle 1966 Model Ruby Red is an authentic electric small scale R/C car. You can drive it indoors. The car features the MR-04 chassis, a major evolution from the previous MR-03 model. The easier control of the MR-04 makes it an ideal introduction to R/C cars. A low center of gravity chassis design and high-precision steering deliver overwhelming driving performance.
The Beetle is renowned for its rounded form and exceptional durability. It holds the world record for the highest production volume of a single model. The Beetle's milestone version features an enlarged 1.3-liter engine that enhanced its performance. The Beetle is celebrated as “the most Beetle-like” of all. It continues to be loved worldwide for its perfect balance of classic design and everyday practicality.
The new MR-04 retains the best aspects of the MR-03. Its lower center of gravity delivers significant performance improvements. The batteries are mounted lower than on the MR-03, lowering the center of gravity of the entire chassis. The result is improved cornering stability and straight-line handling.
A new front suspension (No: MZ719) compatible with zero-offset wheels has been adopted. New front knuckles with integrated kingpins reduce scrub by 1.5mm on each side compared to the MR-03. The result is sharper and more linear control. The front suspension dynamically aligns the camber angle with movement of the upper arm, maintaining optimal tire contact during cornering. A revised caster angle improves steering response.
The rear suspension uses a coil spring damper to cushion shocks from the road surface and improve driving stability. You can upgrade it to an optional oil-filled shock absorber. The T-bar rear suspension plate holds the entire rear pod, including the motor and rear axle. Its flexibility produces an excellent suspension effect. Optional parts are also available in FRP and carbon. A geared differential delivers smooth cornering.
All axles have low rotational resistance ball bearings as standard. The change to 3mm inner diameter ball bearings also reduces rotational resistance. The same size ball bearings are used for both front and rear for spare parts efficiency.
You can change the rear tread by changing the wheel offset. An optional gyro unit can be fitted for even easier control. Gyro sensitivity is adjusted with the volume on the chassis.
The R/C system is Syncro KT-531P, an ultra reliable and multi-function transmitter. Its steering wheel mimics the steering wheel of a real car. It also has a pistol-grip throttle (speed control). Trims adjust the neutral position of steering and throttle. Dual rate adjustment sets the steering angle. The transmitter can operate in training mode with a reduced vehicle speed. Training mode is the default setting.
The car has a factory-assembled chassis and a high-quality pre-painted body with decals applied, complete with markings. The body is finished to display model standard.
The box also holds:
The car needs four AAA-size alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which are not included in the box. The transmitter needs four AAA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries, which are also not included in the box.
The car is compatible with all bodies for the Mini-Z racer series. A motor case and differential gear assembly suitable for the body are required separately.
