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. Pictures: Other RCs: Traxxas Stampede. Handwound Brushless-Motors. Axial AX10. Associated RC18MT.

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. |

Nope. Haven't broken a thing thus far. Hopefully won't, either. 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.

I plan to do that someday. Even with the GPM tires on it now, it finds its way to slide around on my wood floor.

Flash and I agreed on a measly $175 for the chassis, body, AE XP2 transmitter and a few spare parts.
Here's the parts list: 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! |

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. 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.

I have driven both a MR02 MM and a MR02 RM at my local hobby shop. For my driving style, I prefer to use the RM instead of the MM. Although the MM was easier to handle in the corners, I felt the RM was better suited for my driving style coming in and out of corners. I like to drive hard into the corner and slow down right when I have to and then accelerate as fast as I can, the RM allows me to do this because the weight is placed behind the axle instead of slightly infront of it like on an MM. Plus, if I wanted handleing, that's what the MA010 with AWD is for.
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.

The body will make a difference when it comes to racing, yes. Some bodies provide more downforce, some provide more body roll, some provide better visability; there are a lot of factors. I couldn't tell you which is the best body for racing, however. It all changes with people's different driving styles and habits.

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.
