Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R RC Car Electric RWD RTR - Gunmetal/Red
Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R RC Car Electric RWD RTR - Gunmetal/Red
All-new MR-04 chassis with a lower centre of gravity
Ready-to-Run package requires only AAA batteries to start
Display-quality, officially licensed Chevrolet Corvette C8.R body
Improved steering geometry for sharper and more linear control
A perfect introduction to high-performance micro RC racing
The Kyosho Mini-Z Racer is the standard for high-performance micro RC cars, and the latest generation has arrived with the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R. This Ready-to-Run package features the all-new MR-04 chassis, a significant evolution from the long-running MR-03. This new design lowers the car's centre of gravity and features completely redesigned steering geometry, resulting in faster cornering speeds and more stable, linear handling. The car comes fully assembled with a beautifully finished, display-quality Corvette C8.R body, allowing you to enjoy the fun of precision indoor driving just minutes after opening the box.
The MR-04 chassis comes standard with a full set of low-friction ball bearings and a smooth gear differential for consistent cornering. While it's ready for fun with the included 130-size brushed motor and reliable Syncro KT-531P transmitter, it's also a serious platform for customisation. Drivers can enhance performance with a huge range of optional Mini-Z parts, including the popular plug-in gyro unit (sold separately) for even greater stability and control. The Mini-Z MR-04 offers an authentic RC experience that's easy for newcomers to enjoy, with the depth and quality to satisfy experienced racers.
Based on the high-performance Chevrolet race car, this Mini-Z features a highly detailed Corvette C8.R body. It captures the look of the 500-horsepower, mid-engine machine, complete with authentic aero parts and a striking livery for a true-to-scale appearance that looks great on and off the track.
The new MR-04 chassis delivers a significant step up in performance. By lowering the centre of gravity, it provides improved cornering stability and better straight-line handling. The chassis is also designed for easier control, making it a great introduction to the world of high-performance RC cars.
Experience sharper and more linear steering control thanks to the newly designed front Hubs. They reduce scrub by 1.5mm on each side compared to the previous MR-03 chassis. The Hubs also house larger 3mm inner diameter ball bearings, which further reduce rotational resistance for a smoother front end.
The front suspension geometry has been designed for maximum grip. It dynamically aligns the camber angle during suspension movement, helping to maintain optimal tyre contact with the track surface through corners. A revised caster angle also provides improved steering response, making the car more precise and predictable.
Powered by four standard AAA batteries, the MR-04 features a low-profile mounting position. This places the batteries lower in the chassis compared to the previous model, contributing to the car's very low centre of gravity. This design directly improves cornering stability and straight-line handling performance.
The rear suspension is equipped with a coil spring shock absorber that effectively cushions shocks from the track surface. This simple yet effective system improves driving stability, especially over bumps and imperfections. For further tuning, the unit can also be upgraded to an optional oil-filled shock absorber.
The rear suspension features a flexible T-bar plate that holds the entire rear motor pod. The flex of this plate acts as a key suspension component, allowing the rear end to move and absorb bumps for excellent traction. Optional T-bars are also available in FRP and carbon for tuning.
For maximum efficiency and performance, all axles are equipped with low rotational resistance ball bearings as standard. This reduces friction in the drivetrain, leading to higher top speeds and longer run times. The front and rear use the same size bearings, simplifying maintenance and spare parts management.
The MR-04 is designed for customisation. When changing to a different body, an included parts set allows you to change the front tread (vehicle width) to get the perfect fit. The rear tread can also be easily changed by using wheels with different offsets, giving you plenty of tuning options.
