Audi's motorsport division developed the LMS racing machine from the R8 production car base to comply with FIA GT3 rules. This Mini-Z reproduces that car, celebrating its spectacular victory at the 2015 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race in its debut year. Its exquisite detail captures the winning form in stunning scale.

While retaining the best aspects of the proven MR-03, the lower centre of gravity of the new MR-04 chassis design delivers significant performance improvements. The easier control of the MR-04 makes it an ideal and accessible introduction to RC cars for beginners, enhancing stability and handling on smooth surfaces.

New front hubs with integrated kingpins reduce scrub by 1.5mm on each side compared to the MR-03 design, allowing sharper and more linear control. All axles are equipped with low rotational resistance ball bearings (3mm inner diameter in hubs) as standard. The same size ball bearings are used front and rear for spare parts efficiency.

The front suspension dynamically aligns the camber angle with movement of the upper arm to maintain optimal tyre contact during cornering. A revised caster angle also delivers improved steering response, ensuring the car reacts precisely to inputs for controlled and responsive handling on the track, helping you shave down lap times.

Four AAA batteries power the car. The batteries are mounted lower than on the MR-03 chassis. This strategically lowers the centre of gravity of the entire chassis to deliver improved cornering stability and straight-line handling, giving you more confidence at speed.

The rear suspension uses a simple coil spring shock to cushion shocks from the road surface and improve driving stability. This standard setup provides reliable performance out of the box and can be upgraded to an optional oil-filled shock absorber for enhanced damping and tunability to suit different track conditions.

The flexibility of the T-bar rear suspension plate that holds the entire rear pod, including the motor and rear axle, produces excellent suspension effect. This design is a key part of the rear chassis's performance and feel. Optional parts are also available in FRP and carbon for tuning the flexibility and handling characteristics.

The chassis offers flexibility for using different body styles! When changing from the standard body, a parts set is included to change the front tread (vehicle width) to match the non-standard body to be installed. Rear tread can also be changed by changing the wheel offset (Requires separate parts).
