The legendary Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, affectionately known as "Hachiroku" (86), featured as a car in the hugely popular Initial D manga by Shuichi Shigeno, has been brought to life with remarkable accuracy as a Mini-Z. This beloved machine, famous for its lightweight FR layout and outstanding cornering, debuted in 1983 and continues to be loved by enthusiasts today.

Includes the stylish Syncro KT-531P transmitter for comfortable control. Features steering and throttle trim adjustments, as well as dual rate adjustment of steering angle and control for the flashing speed of optional LED lights. In addition, the transmitter has a Training Mode feature which limits the speed of the car for easy learning (default setting out of the box).

This Kyosho Mini-Z drift car is built on the special AWD Sports chassis. Based on the proven and capable MA-02 chassis design, it features the RA45 unit. This compact, all-wheel-drive platform provides a stable and controllable foundation, perfect for enjoying fun drifting action in smaller spaces.

Features VCS (Variable Camber Suspension) front suspension. This innovative design optimises camber change in concert with the suspension stroke for improved handling and contact patch management during slides. Replacing the front suspension coil springs is easy and requires no tools, simplifying tuning and maintenance.

The Mini-Z drift car is equipped with a reliable strut-type rear suspension. This suspension design provides predictable performance and works in harmony with the front suspension setup. It helps give the chassis the stable handling characteristics essential for executing smooth and controlled drifting manoeuvres in tight spaces.

Features full ball bearing specifications throughout the drivetrain and wheel axles for maximum efficiency. This includes 14 high-quality ball bearings. Ball bearings provide smoother operation, reduce friction and heat, and increase overall efficiency and durability compared to plastic bushings, ensuring longer run times and less wear.

This Mini-Z AWD comes equipped with low-grip drift tyres as standard, so you're ready for sideways action right out of the box! These specialised tyres are designed to allow the car to slide smoothly and predictably on suitable surfaces, making it perfect for practicing and enjoying the exciting fun of drifting straight away.

Equipped with a special mounting space and adjustment dial specifically designed for the optional gyro unit (sold separately: MZW446). Adding this gyro provides electronic assistance for counter-steering control, further enhancing stability and making drifting even more accessible and enjoyable for beginners and experienced drivers alike in smaller spaces.
