Donziikid's MiniZ MA010
Howdy; I am also the pround owner of a Kyosho MiniZ MA010. I purchased this MiniZ AWD off of Flashsp2 on GSR (it was also listed on MZR). It came with quite a few goodies, one of those goodies being the ultimate in external turbos - the Woah Nelly EVO! I payed a very reasonable price for this MiniZ which included a whole schwack of stuff from knuckles of multiple cambers to a custom hand wound 39T armature from Flash himself!
I'll tell ya' this right now, no motor I have ever run (including the 39T from PX) can compare to this motor. It has the best powerband I have ever used for a 130 sized brushed motor.

Very nice. Great way to hop in there with a tricked out mini-z. I hear it is difficult to tune the awds to compete against the 2wd on track...so if anyone could have set it up for you it would be Mr. Flashsp2.

Thats awesome...
If I had more space, or just even a huge room. I would so do something like that with mine. But I have alot of junk in my garage barely enough room for the track I have. And I cant find a place good enough that won't tear the hell out of mine. That is very cool. No broken wheels or anything like that? But I do say, at least get a display body or two. But if you chose one definetly get a Skyline or the Nismo Fairlady Z. |
Quote:
Nope. Haven't broken a thing thus far. Hopefully won't, either. :lol: Actually, those are my two top choices for a body. They both look really, really good. But, I would probably end up getting a white body and painting it. I'm perfectly fine with this basher body, I know I can drive a little harder with it on and not worry about beating up a great looking body. |
Have you picked up any drift tires yet? I hear those babies are a drift dream, with all that extra power you should be able to spell your name in cursive with the car.

How much did you pay for it? Gosh I miss my MA010 now.

Thats a great price

That's a nice mini-z.
but i have1 question. Why an Xmods Crystal? And i have a mini-z very soon but don't know which model i want. and which chassis i should go for. could you help me get the right chassis for a beginner in mini-z? |
Quote:
For a beginner, you're going to want to go with something that is easier to handle and easy to maintain. I find the MiniZ MA010 (AWD) is the easiest to handle and maintain. I've run an MR02 at my local hobby shop and they're quite a bit more difficult to handle. |
That is a really good price indeed...
I have a track, but its such a pain to bring it out and set it up but I dont mind the rewards when I get to drive on it. But I really dont have enough room in my house to set it up so I have to do it in my garage. Then the track gets dusty and crap and I hate cleaning RCP. But its getting to the point where I wont drive on concrete at all, I used to all the time\, now not so much. Have you tinkered with it all... I mean like tear it down and put it all back toghether. I mean it looks like from the pics you posted, really dirty. Im such a clean freak when it comes to these things...Seriously I tear down everytime clean it and lube it. EVERYTIME. Flash looks like he does a really good job at sodering! |
Quote:
I sadly (and stupidly) let a two wide-L RCP track slip through my fingers when it was only going for $50.. The shipping alone for something that large would have had to cost $35-45. :( I will never subject my MiniZ to concrete. They ride way too low and I love the looks of it's bottom; too precious to scratch up. :lol: This thing needs a good cleaning, I'll give ya that. It's been probably a month since I've torn it apart, cleaned and lubed everything up. But, in that month, it's probably only been ran a handful of times. |
Flash does make some wicked motors :nod:
Would this be the HFAY car? |
Quote:
So, this is just my drool car and "basher" car. Won't be track designated nor will it be the quickest on the track - unless I really wanted to go that far and dial in two cars. Flash is a great motor winder. This motor is a beast, way better than my motor from PX or a few I've wound myself. By the way, Ann Arbor is winning in points for HFAY. Ha! We rule. :) |
Get a MM instead of RM. Better handling.
|
Quote:
I could always just buy an RM from Kyosho and then buy the MM motor pod later if I wanted to change my style or wanted to try perfecting my MM driving. |
You have a point there.
A guy at my LHS got a MA010, converted it into a FWD, put a micro-t bushless, and liths into it. That baby is fast as hell. Handle ok though. |
so then i will buy an MR-010 AWD.
Thanks, does the body have any effect to racing or is it just like xmods for the looks. |

Added this image to the first post. The lighting just caught my eye and made the conept look that much better, IMO. Plus, it's just such a schmexy chassis. :p

Nothing but jealousy. Nothing but jeaslousy...

Thanks for the comment. :) what are you talking about donzii? ;) |
It looks great. :nod:
As far as the body goes, are you leaving the Ferrari on it or do you have another body as well? Donzii, I want your opinion: Would painting your car neon colors such as green or pink with some wacky design throw off the other drivers at all? |

Right now it'll stay as the Ferrari because it's a good beater body. Maybe later on I'll buy either an autoscale or a whitebody and paint it. Tunnel vision. Whenever I'm with a few other guys driving (my local hobby shop has a 1:18th track), the only thing I can focus on is my car. It may be different with these smaller scale cars, but I never notice any one elses car when I'm on the 1:18th tracks. But, other people may be different. |

Certainly wasn't a flawless execution, but I like the result. When I get my tripod back I'll have a better executed version of this.

Haven't been on IRC in a while, but what happened to Color0's MR-02 chassis? Might be getting one soon. |

Great idea. Definitely get dish wheels. Does anyone know if they make clear ones? |

Took the MA010 up to our place up north this past weekend to scoot around the new hardwood maple floors. They were installed by the Amish and I must say the work is flawless. Unfortunatly the local hobby shop didn't have any Kyosho foams in stock the night I left, but I did remember halfway up that there was a set of Gen1 Drift Foams in my box.. So, those were thrown on the rims and given a whirl... I must say the MA010 handles these foams a lot better than the EVO Xmod. :)
