Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 EVO2 W-MM 8500Kv Chassis Set with V2 Gyro Unit

Kyosho Mini-Z MR-04 EVO2 W-MM 8500Kv Chassis Set with V2 Gyro Unit

At the end of 2023, the Mini-Z MR-03 underwent a full model change after 14 years. Building on the MR-03's proven layout, the MR-04 EVO2 introduced a sensor-equipped brushless motor, a redesigned front suspension, and a lower battery position, all resulting in a major performance leap. Now, the MR-04 EVO2 receives a key update with even further upgrades. Featuring reinforced 2.0 front suspension arms previously introduced in the Readyset series, the updated model now includes the widely adopted gyro unit set as standard. Upgraded to Version 2, the gyro offers a refined balance of stability and cornering precision, enhancing both race performance and the driving experience. Another key improvement is the new RC unit that enables motor RPM control for precise tuning which is essential for racers while maintaining fair competition as Mini-Z Cup rules shift from regulating motor KV (RPM per volt) to directly regulating RPM in 2025. The MR-04 EVO2 fully supports this system, and with the I.C.S. Setting Manager, users can easily configure motor settings to match class regulations.

Required to Complete:

• Transmitter
• Receiver unit (Compatible with EVO/EVO2)
• ASC (AutoScale Body)
• AAA x 4 batteries for chassis
• Batteries for transmitter

Features:

• A dedicated CPU has been integrated into the gyro unit's circuit board, allowing for ultra-precise control. With faster processing speed, response time is dramatically improved, eliminating the common issue in older gyros where higher gain would reduce turning performance. This next-generation gyro unit delivers unmatched stability and takes cornering precision to a whole new level.
• While retaining elements of the excellent MR-03 layout, the MR-04 EVO2 chassis achieves significant performance improvements with changes to the front suspension and a lower CoG that work in synergy with a sensored brushless motor. Both narrow and wide tread settings are available by changing the lower and upper plates on the front as well as the steering tie rod. Adjustable wheelbase allows chassis setting according to body type.
• While camber angle is optimized during cornering with the swing of the current upper arm design, the front suspension uses the new kingpin-integrated knuckle to further improve camber stability. Geometric revision of caster and trail etc. delivers more linear maneuverability. Spec front springs for the MR-04 with different hardness are available as options.
• Front knuckle design features integrated kingpin with optimized clearance with the kingpin ball for smoother operation. Ball bearings have been changed to 3mm internal diameter for lower rotational resistance.
• All 7 ball bearings are 3mm internal diameter for lower rotational resistance to minimize friction loss
• Ball differential included as standard optimizes the rotational differences between left and right rear wheels when turning. Also provides moderate slip action to improve traction when excessive load is applied. Silver clear anodized finish to aluminum parts creates a formidable style to match performance.
• The unit also supports high-speed communication with various high-end transmitters and receivers to realize unprecedented control response. Achieves transmission speeds of 0.99ms with KO units (ADV mode) and 0.9ms with Futaba units (EVO2 mode). *Previously 2.6ms - 3.0ms
