lol we must think alike im just about to get a couple of mini z cars!
Make sure you take them out of training mode... unlike me hahaha... what a nob. I’m sure I’ll still get people saying I copied you 😅
@@TomleyRC haha, who cares! you get most vids out way before me anyway im always late to the party lol
Yeah... that's very true. I'll have a New Summit video next week, I might wait until you release yours 😂
Sorry kev, I gotta say I prefer Tom's vids too. I'm not a big fan of the carnage and needless destruction on your channel lol.

@@TomleyRC they are lovers really! they think about you all the time, give you a 100% click through, thumbs down still helps hahaha!!! love it, give them some salt!!
@@KevinTalbotTV salts always on the table kev ready to dust them down .
@Me Him Rc 😂
Mini-z is expensive but so worth it. The bodies are beautifully built and the 1/28 ecosystem is very active from Kyosho and a number of other manufacturers such as Atomic and GL Racing. Plus, this is the perfect size for someone like me living in cities.
Wltoys 1/28: 😕
are the internals metal? i'm a noob
@@kevinahearn8764 Mini-Z is mostly plastic but different parts can be upgraded to alloy, especially in useful places like the rear motor pod and steering tie rod. The more "advanced" third chassis like GL/Atomic/Reflex/RTRC have a ton more metal/carbon fiber in their constructions.
Mini-Zs are the KING. Nice model.
Mini Z are very cool!
The MR03 RWD brought me back to RC, I love it!!!!
That rc Looks epic!
Lol 😂 when you said Alexa play some drifting music, I was sat next to my Alexa. And she did 😹👍
Lool same here 😅
Lol, i wanted something like
Initial D De ja vu, not that rap
I wonder if you know how they live in Tokyo
Awesome this mini Kyosho ! 👍👍👍
it does look great , can't wait to see it against the others :) your definitely getting the hang of it bud 👍😀
Awesome 😎
Great drifting!! I have one and been practicing. It's not easy. Never new about the training mode either. Thanks Dead Pixel..
Yeah... training mode... every days a school day lol
Great video, i have just ordered mine a week ago. Thanks mate.
That’s cool man👍👍👍
pbm racing is my local rc shop its kind of cool to know that theres a big youtuber that lives near there
Miniz it's always quality. I been racing years ago with the 02 chassis rwd. I did use some third party upgrades .the battery's, it's always 4 3A, but you can get some great really high discharge rechargeable battery for the use. With full set of bearings and nice shocks, it performs awesome.
MiniZ it's a good alternative for slot cars, if you really like the 1/32 - 1/24 scale.
Soooo I got into the hobby less than a year ago. I’m full blown addicted to the point I’m upgrading everything and I had to buy a mini z and the mini z is my favorite! Jealous of your body. Got the calsonic r32
Still haven't gotten anything smaller than 1/18th scale but those look like a blast! Great video! 👍🍻
That Looks cool
Man, cool little RC boss👍
Thanks dude
Damn you Phil, now you got me wanting one! Such a cool little Nissan, looks the bees knees! :D
Love your vids nice car keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Dude
Omg! Beautiful drift in the beginning! Its a bit pricey for 200$ but if its solidly built from japan, its worth saving for..
You´re too modest, Phil - it looks to me as if you´re a natural born drifter!
Haha... lots of practice!
Lol I have a 2wd and it shreds around the track. I think you convinced me to get a awd drift car 😂😂
What a cool drift car, and even better drift skills.
Even better now I'm not in 'Training' mode lol... oops
You know, Tomley, I tried FPV with lots of different rc cars and trucks... From the toy grade that I modified to hobby grade, to the crawlers and offroads... All of them are great, but the crawlers are more smooth... You know? Because of the suspension and how slow they run.
But... I believe that a drifter in a big space with smooth surface would be fun as hell! 😂
I need to try one of those!!!
Great review as always! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
FPV drifting would be cool!
Love it I have the 1/64 scale of that kyosho nice drifting mate
Cheers dude
I play with mine everyday they’re very addicting!!! 🤣🤣🤣I have the Calsonic GTR AWD version. I also have a RWD version. 👍👍👍👍 I absolutely love how the awd handles. So much fun drifting around the house. I switched to a solid rear axle and a one way front diff and it handles so much better. It is way more predictable then stock. It’s great either way once it’s out of training mode for sure 👍👍 It’s technically power sliding not drifting I believe 👍👍 great video looking forward to the comparison video with the WL toys drift car
I’ve heard those mods make a decent difference... I guess I should try 😎👌
Honestly, cant wait for the wltoys k969 review. If you ever see this comment. Can you please do a comparison with the mini z and the wltoys k969. Much support 😀
Yes, a comparison will be coming dude :)
A kyosho will be much better than a WLtoys car in any case..
look at you on the clipping point. Nice Drifting there DKT
Thanks dude
Wow awesome 👍😍👍 Mini-Z HKS R32 ~~~!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😁😁😁
Why not! and a phat bodie!! Have a great weekend Bro!! Cool video, Yeeeaaahh!!!
The car looks cool I like drift cars
I've got one of these with the R34 body and a rwd mclaren. Both are great fun
I've got the Fiesta with the Porches wheels on, such an amazing drifter
I've had 1/10 RWD and AWD drifters and think AWD is just better for RC. You need a lot more room to get a RWD to drift, but an AWD will drift in inches like your video shows. I have an AWD MiniZ and it's worth it to a casual indoor user since there's no need to worry about an expensive dead lipo. There's also a huge aftermarket; I put lights in mine for more realism.
definitely worth it, mine is still running after almost 2 years of use. all stock parts, the latest generation MA020 drifts great without any upgrades straight out of the box if you ask me. and otherwise a DIY locked rear diff is all you need. nice video 👍
Do you have the gyro?
Nope, never used one.
@@BlueDrift good to know I thought it only drifted good with the gyro installed. I'm sure it would make it even better though
@@tmar352 yeah, probably depends on the driver. im the kinda person who turns off all the assist straight away, when i boot a new driving game. i prefer raw inputs.
Love the K989 K969 hanging out for support! you can pick both of those up for less than the price of the Mini Z, I'd love a Mini Z if they were a bit cheaper. Happy with my WLtoys cars.
The WLtoys are really good for the money!
Dude! Alexa play drift music! too good. deadly footage
Haha... cheers dude
I have the Hpi 1/18 scale, with Lamborghini bodyshell. I have drift wheels. It is a awesome car. Nice video dude.. Regards from Norway..
I got 1! I love it. i really want to build a XRX RWD mini tho.
One of the best looking and functioning drift cars. Can’t knock mini z cars at all. The options to upgrade are insane! Check out the accessories to make it better especially for drifting. Out of the box they cool but after a bit of tinkering they are epic.
You have a sweet one and it’s pretty rare! P.s grab the gyro, some proper Kyosho speed house batteries(makes a huuuuuuuge difference), it should also drift on any surface and should be pretty quick out of the box. Just check training mode isn’t activated.
Yes, I think I’ll be purchasing more! And upgrades!
@@TomleyRC go for it buddy. Welcome to the world of Mini-z! Some great mini z channels on you tube that help you tune etc and get you on the right path.
Make sure you get the gyro. That’s a must.
@@TomleyRC what you thinking of getting ?
Needs the LED set too :)
I have a mini-z buggy brushed but loads of fun indoors. Thought about getting a brushless version. I also had a custom AWD mini-z that I wish I still had.
Brushless would be awesome!
@@TomleyRC I thought about the upgrade converter kit but think the 20th An. Edition brushless is on my list.
These are super smooth drifters. Just remember to take them out of training mode.
Yes... training mode is now off, and it’s even better!
@@TomleyRC they're great fun, enjoy.
Why people dislikes this? there is a lot
Yeah... just jealous people
I have the 3 mini z 4x4s was probably gonna get a few of those drifters too... so yes 👍 lol
Slap in a front one way diff. I put 1 in all my mini zs. Best upgrade.
Check out the HGD1 RWD Drift car! Got this and a Subaru Mini-Z AWD for home drifting. These little cars are awesome and together with flying fpv tiny whoops they feed my rc addiction in winter time.
I never owned a mini-z even though they looked like fun,I never bothered to look fully into them mainly due to the price. But after seeing this HKS skyline, I'm intrigued as I always loved the look/paint scheme of this particular skyline. Even had a poster of this car as a kid,lol. I'll have to fully check out what they offer when I have more time. Hopefully they make (or will make) a Honda CR-X sir. I would love to have a mini rc to match my 1.1 scale,lol
They do some really nice scale cars. Hoping they do a GR Yaris!
@@TomleyRC that would def be cool. I saw last nite they do alot sweet looking cars. But wished they did more common cars,lol
@@jonlaird5082 Yes, would be cool to get some classics!
Had multiple even the evo kits and I can tell you from experience - save your cash people and go for something else or save or for something better
The mini z,s although not cheap are great , you'll be after more bodies to fit your chassis , do you know of any dealers in uk who have the drive shaft gears that fit on the long shaft , paid for them from banggood but never arrived ! . Great video mate !
Try PBM Racing... Sean over there has a lot of Mini Z stuff
Tomley RC thank you , enjoy teaching block a lesson or two!
Awesome! You got a sub and a like from me!
Cheers Anton.... 😎👌
You have to convince kev to get one
It's worth every penny.
Whoaaaaaaaa you're damned good mate😎👍✌️😊🇲🇾🍀🌈 subscribed
Thank You 😎👌
@@TomleyRC you're welcome 😎👍
MINZ COOL BRO
I want it 😍
Optional gyro at 200 big ones. Ouch! Nice looking car though. 👍
I had trouble choosing this one or the cCaSonic skyline I love blue still can't make up my mind
Nice vid! Quick question I just bought the Supra version of this rc but I am having a really hard time connecting this to my controller, the book says if the green light keeps on flashing on the controller then it didn’t connect properly! Appreciate any help in this! Thanks!
I have an Hpi micro rs24. Maybe a bit bigger under 200 bit a great drifting car
Hi, thanks for your nice drifting video shared!
Ask your opinion whether Panasonic Eneloop AAA rechargeable batteries, 750mAh - 800mAh is suitable for Kyosho mini z AWD both car and remote controller use? Thanks!
My Alexa played Drifting, by Sarah McLachlan, when she heard you make the drift music request to yours.
Kon'nichiwa Tomley, you are no kansei dorifto! :p there is only one drift song in the world worth playing, and thats Deja vu or anything with Initial D , alexa did not do it right this time!
So in my head I was playing initial d running in the 90´s and Manuel gas gas gas :D
Does it come with the remote control thingy whatever you call it
These are just like xmods I used to play with as a kid! Modded the heck out of them. Is there much of a following in the uk for these? 🤞🤞🤞
0:28 haha, lol😂😂🤣
Have you done the vs video with WL TOYS yet
For anybody thinking of getting one I recommend buying rechargeable battery’s & a charger cause with a couple hours of play the battery’s drain like crazy
I agree... rechargeable batteries save money in the long run
If i put grip tires on them do i get a normal one
Looks cool but price is too high for small rc car like this one.
I've always liked the look of these RC's, but the price tag has put me off buying one. You have done a good job of showing off their potential though. I've got some thinking to do..
Yes, not cheap, but you forget about the price once you get it on the vinyl 😎
Life is short, just buy the car!
....after you pay your bills. Play responsibly 😅
@@GundamDroid With an ongoing house move, the bills are coming in thick and fast 😢
You should also try atomic mini rwd rc
Drifting music nahh😂😂
😅
Nice! Can’t wait to see the vs. video. I love these miniz’s, but would I pay over $130 for one? That’s a big hell no. Not when WLToys has a way capable alternative for under $60! C’mon....! Great video and drifting Phil! Practice has definitely paid off!🤪😂👊🏼🍻🍻
Yeah, the WLtoys are very good value for money!
Fg Race truck naughty!
Hey I’m planning on getting a mini z
i might get a few lol
I have a Mini-Z drift car. It is really nice, looks great, but there's something messed up with the servo. Occasionally it will lock the wheels in one direction. Couldn't figure out how to take it apart, so it has been shelved for a while. Maybe one day I'll spend some time online trying to figure it out.
I had to file my turnbuckle a little bit and it’s been perfect since
Apparently when Alexa plays drift music it's a lot like stripper music
Haha
where can i get one of those hoodies?
Dang! These things are like $350.00 starting here in the U.S. Wish I find one cheaper.
Is it 1/24 in scale?
What size are the wheels ?
I would love to get a Kyosho Mini Z, but spending $200 for one.....I’m not sure tbh. If I were to buy one, I would just buy one for my collection of cars along with my Hotwheels collection as well. I wouldn’t even run it. I’ll just keep it in the box.
I've just found my dad's old tamiya sand scorcher from about 1983. I don't know anyone else who's in to tamiyas apart from yourself I wondered if you could help me. The radio turns on and pairs (servos hum and get themselves into trim) but when you try to apply throttle or steering nothing happens the the radio is still obviously binding.
Not sure mate. I’d try a newer radio set, make sure the rear wheels are off the ground though... you don’t want it flying off!
cool little car! however, if the wife walks in with a few bags of groceries and sees that all over the kitchen floor, wouldn't you get in a little bit of trouble?! hahaha! see what upgrades are available and put in a Lipo and see what it can do.
😁😁👍👍
So come on phil, how many tries did it take to get that cone clipping point end shot ??
Haha... I’d say around 5 or 6, not as many as I thought it would take
Why do you a gyro on a mini Z?
is there a cheaper alternative that gets like 70% there in terms of fun? :D
how to buy this ???
Review the latrax rally
Be careful with at thing!!!you'll put your eye out kid!! Little Christmas story reference there for ralphie all grown up......sorta all grown up!!lol. You have one of the best rc chanelsvout there Tomley. No one else does all the cheapies like you do am
And quite frankly....those are what I want to know about!!!I've been dealing with all the big overpriced brands for 25 years,I'm familiar with them lol. most people don't know about are these off brands you reveiw so good on ya formgivingnthe people what they want!!
Haha… I need to do a Christmas video dressed up as him. Everyone makes a comment about it. 😎👌
@@TomleyRC you’re the best man!! Thanks again for the great content
how long can play time last?
Depends on your Batteries.
I’m pretty sure the reason your not getting much wheel speed is because you probably have practice mode on, i personality don’t have a mini z but i have seen a couple of videos.
This makes tamiya look like a bargain
One of my ex-girls had a Japanese car Nissan GTR. Not RC a real one. It was some nismo spec and she had it in pearlescent blue with white leather interior with blue trim and blue piping stitches...
We once went t the TT race on the isle of man with my Step dad, who was a keen motor cyclist and had the the bike that his father rode in the 1960s. Any ways at the end of the even they let a few people around the track, people from tv, youtubers, dicks, lol... She was given 10 laps.. Shw did about 3 laps and was really pushing trying to get over 200mph. She let me have a go while she calmed down I did 2 laps and I never went above 120mph. lol. It was just so savage but in a good way. Normally a fast car scares you because it's uncontrollable. This was scary because it was so easy to control at silly speeds. On her 2nd to last lap she got it to 199.7mph and I was in the passenger seat. It started raining on her last try on her own. She was so annoyed at me. Saying if I wasn't so fat she would have got 200mph... The very next day at home she left it outside the house as she was taking it to the garage for a full check up... I think it was the gas people was digging outside our home. The digger operator swung his bucket right into her car... on the rear left side. It killed the car. It had bent chassis parts that couldn't be replaced. And as it was a one of in personalised colour and interia she got paid out about £40,000 more that what she had paid... She went and bought a Lancia Delta Integrale, in full Martini livery. But I could tell in her eyes that there was something missing. We broke up not long after that. She just wasn't the same.
Should try the k969 by wltoys. It's a lot cheaper. Unlike a mini z it comes with a metal chassis and in my opinion a bigger more powerful motor. Your paying 200 for only 2 reasons. Reason one it's kyosho and they tend to over price there shit. Reason 2 the bodys on the mini zs are much more detailed and realistic looking. If performance is what your after save yourself 140 bucks and get a k969
I’ve got one... as mentioned in the video 😅
My bad must have missed that part😂
