- Whats up guys!
Today youll get to see some running footage of the kyosho Mini-z AWD MA020 on my home made track. I'll share my results with you and compare them with the MR030 RWD.
Fast forward to 10:20 for track footage

Bringing this back from the dead...do you recall what tire combo you were running on the hellcat? I'm currently on this "fools earrand" trying to build the quickest awd for rcp surface.
Ohh that's a hard one lol. I don't want to give u the wrong answer. It's been so long.
I solved my traction rolling by fitting narrow tyres on wide rims. When it tries to roll the outside lip of the wide rim hits the ground and stops it. Im only messing around at home though, no idea if that would be effective on a track.
I had the same issue, traction rolling it over on grippy tires 😂. Converting it to wide might help a little, but still flawed. Good drift car though 😎
I even tried the dws kit on the back and corner weighed it. The centre of gravity sucks.
I have an ma-030 evo that I'm looking forward to playing with. Also have the mr03's, agreed it's night and day.
CAN THE HELL CAT BOY BE USED WITH RWD CHASIS
Hello I have awd ma 020 skyline R34 what tires wheel, More grip tire front and rear with hardwood floor.
Not box race...wheel what offset narrow...20 deg kyosho...
Or only buy another RWD mr 03......
Thanks and much love for the videos..
According to the kyosho website, the wheel offset for the r34 is 1. I have never tested grip tires on hardwood. I only drift on hardwood so you might have to test different compounds until you find something you like. The stock tires are very hard so anything softer than stock will be an improvement. Thanks for the love! Don't forget to hit that like button and please subscribe! I have some more mini z content coming in the new year
Great video. Can you put drift tires on them or do you have to get a specific drift model?
Technically, they consider the awd models the drift models. They come from factory with drift tires.
Where do you get your parts?? Those cars look great!
Thanks brother! I usually shop at either A&J Hobbies or BarrieRC.
Are the bodies between the 2 interchangeable?
@hanau73 between awd and rwd? Yes and no. Bodies are a weird topic with mini-z. Some awd specific bodies will fit on rwd, but not all. This is something you'll have to google for each specific body. Also, even between awd-awd the bodies can be different. Some cars have different wheen bases and/or track width. You'll need to do some research before fitting a new body
Hi, may I know what is the nut size for locking mini z awd wheels? Thanks
I am going to buy aluminum or alloy nuts on line but don't know its size.
2mm or 4.5mm?
4.5mm is the nut size
@@musthavewheels Thank you!
@@musthavewheels Described as M2 hexagon nuts right?
@@fwfefrtefdv4719 yes that's correct
@@musthavewheels Thank you!
Okay but stock right out of the box which is faster awd or rwd
On a rcp track the rwd will almost always dominate
Have you looked into the other mini cars? Like the GL racing or atomic cars?
i have but its harder to find classes to race them in. its also a lot more money to get into
I just got an AWD and don't like how drifty it is. Should I get specific new tires for it or just buy a rwd?
I guess it depends on what your doing with. Are you running it on a track? Or just inside the house?
If your just running it in the house then just grab grippy tires for the awd
@@musthavewheels just playing on a kitchen floor basically. I tried looking at replacement tires but there are narrow and wide and each has 4 different options for degrees and are the rears supposed to be wide and the front narrow? If so then why do they come in 4 packs? It just got overwhelming
@kghhgkgk lol ya there's a lot. So you gotta look at your car. What model do you have?... some cars run narrow front and rear. Some use wide rear and narrow front. It's very noticeable. In terms of ° (degrees), the lower the number the gripper the tires. I would probably start somewhere in the middle like 30° and see how it goes.
@@musthavewheels I have the new blue challenger. You're right, the stock back wheels are wider than the front
Hey! What is the overall dimensions on your track? Nice vid
Thanks! The track is 9'× 18'
@@musthavewheels ok, that´s a good size. Planning to build mine..:)
@@JA-pe5nt nice! Have fun!
Man I have that blue and yellow Mercedes and It won't steer as tight as you are on the track. I haven't done anything all to it yet though so it probably the tires I'd say 🤷♂️
100% tired will make it right up bro👍🏻
did they all come brushed
Most of them are brushes unless you buy the EVO versions. The EVOs do not come ready to run though.
Im pretty sure they are meant to be drift cars nor racing cars.
All kyosho models can be racing cars. Reliability and repeatability allows just the the drivers skill as the test, and progress towards the lowest lap time is most important. Mini z provides this repeatability as a tight platform stock. People upgrade them above their skill level and track surface needlessly. Put some grip tires on and run the AWD on a slippery dusty floor with a quick track layout and a lap timer and see if you can beat your ghost. Hours of entertainment with very minimal set up.
Almost flipped it in the beginning 😂
Oh there was lots of flips in the making of this video😆
