I’m so glad 1/24 scale crawlers are becoming a big thing!
Im so not glad that they have become a big price
isaac scx24’s are $120, that’s really not bad for what you get. Mine is super capable!!
@@isaacc.b3309 The Mini-z’s are really expensive but the
Axial are not very expensive for how good they are.
I got a scx24 deadbolt last week. Was watching the dodger game last night while crawling over a pile of blankets in bed😂. Too much fun
Yeah the scx24 are affordable but mini z are hella expensive and dont compare to the scx24
I'm not even that deep into RC as a hobby, but watching you is soooo nice! Congrats!
That looks like a lot of fun. Being from a 1/10 scale crawler background, I could get into this 1/25 scale scene. I think I will.
Very detailed review! Def want to get one! 👌
Very detailed for that size..beautiful 👍
Just got my wraith 1.9 frame from you guys, thanks for the free stickers I was so pumped on them lol, all my rigs have A main stickers on them now.
I just bought a SCX Axial 24 Deadbolt and I Love it
this is the perfect gift, something I want but would never spend my own money on lol
I remember early 2000's we used to race mini Z's at a local track and they had an off road style course for the Overlanders. I still have mine. We raced regular mini Z , Overlanders and had the Mini z F1 nascar conversions those were super fun to race on a banked oval track. A lot of fun those cars were! Kyosho aint cheap though!! But looks real good!! These 4x4 are pretty rad!
Great review 👍
That 1/10th van is so sweet !
Awesome review
Realy good video my friend. Great work 👍
Wow, the details on that Jeep are amazing! I ended up getting the white SCX24 Jeep, which I love, but now I sorta want. One of these, too. Great review.
Just buy the body and adjust the SCX24 wheelbase.
It’s nice that it uses batteries that you can get at almost any store I use this in my office all the time!!!
Nice comparison Brett!
I have to tell you man, this channel has put me onto SO much cool rc stuff, especially these mini rigs! I can already see myself building a whole fleet of couch slayers😅
So adorable 😍
That was great, thanks!
Nice tiny crawler!
Your idea of "cheap" and my idea of "cheap" are very different.
very true (same for me)
Wwwwaaahhh
Man, it’s literally just 200$, for anyone in North America, it’s not that much
@@sunnesonne for a broke 15 year old that's a lot for a rc car
RC isn't cheap. $200 is relative peanuts in that world. I have more than that into a single battery for my RC boat.
Awesome 💜
Love it
Good review
These little 4 wheelers look awesome! And they seem to drive super well from the looks of it. Pretty nice. 👍🏻
It seems like a perfect small crawler. If it was a little bit bigger it would be great. Because I think this isn't 1/24 size. More like 1/27 looks like. Great review Brett as always.
Cool little rc, s
Thanks good show
The Jeep looks amazing. I have the jimny and at this point it’s heavily modded. Also, FYI the Jimny wheelbase it also 120
$199.99 is just too much.
No it isn’t. WAY better than a $50 one from Walmart
Yup, just buy a scx24 for $112
Yea it is
Yeah ur spending 130 tops for the scx24 and this is 200 bucks plus all the batteries in the long run
Yet you don't even own an alternative. There is a pandemic now, stop apologizing for communist china for a second.
looks like fun, i do indeed love both bodys! but that 4runner is so cool!
Cute one!
It looks really scale but I think the kyosho mini z is way to expensive. Here in Belgium they begin at +-170€ but the jimny is already 270€.
270€ is about 317$ for that money you can buy a 1/10 car. The axial scx24 is about 140€, so it's almost half the price 🤷♂️
Wow thats crazy no way i would pay that kind of money for a small 24th scale.someplace will freeze first.
@@stevemdelacruz5602 It is 1:18 because the Jimny is smaller in real life.
And NO I wouldn't pay that much either.
And the SC24 is LiPo
Nice B44!
The engineering in these is a lot better than the mini z on-roads. Almost like another company made it, but the body is incredible without losing performance. It's painted with licensed paint and body, with awesome approach angles. I think disposable batteries have more speed than nimh rechargeables. You could always convert to your own lipo and electronics system, which would of costed too much to stay under $200.
The only thing that the minis struggle at is the way the light bodies bounce around.
awesome rc kyosho 4x4
Hi you guys are great.
I have always wanted a mini-z
great and I really wish they could have some 2020 WRC cars too!
nice ruby!!
The Kyosho can crawl so smooth even when big torque at low rpm is needed.The scx 24 have way more lack of torque from the ground up versus to the Kyosho because of Ring and pinion (Kyosho) versus worm drive (Axial) .
"Overhang off the back" is technically called "Departure Angle" 🤓
Complimenti spettacolari
SOLD!!!! Buying several for my kids thank you for this great review
How much are they
@@devindavis665 $199.99
@@atoto150 ohhhh
I love my 4runner mini z, and I would say these are more 28th scale either that or the scx24 isn't a true 24th scale because it's way bigger than the mini z. Also I am going on 2+ hours on my first batteries and still going lol maybe it's an hour if you're on the throttle the whole hour.
Come on Kyosho we want a 1/10 scale Optima Mid re-release!!
I am soooo glad that I am saving my money
I love miniZs!
Hi Brett... long time no see buddy :) Nice review.
Hey, I thought it was Bent Broken? How have you been dude? I tried looking you up on FB a while ago with no luck.
-Brett
Kyosho produced a Mini Z SUV back in 2004, the BMW X5... I had one in Japan. It seemed the same scale as my AWD GTR.
Kyosho Overland mini z 4x4 was out way before these!
SCX24 FTW!!
For my Carisma Coyote Pup I have a pile of old vhs tapes to ride on;)
Now I need to buy this minime lol
the other 2 versions of the Jinmy and 4Runner are also 120mm. they come at 110mm but can adjust to 120mm according to the mini-z website.
Yes, very true.
-Brett
This is so badass!
I'm good with my scx24 and all its upgrades..
Got to have one! But like usual, no stockists in South Africa 🤦♂️🤷♂️
The Jimny has a 120mm Wheel-Base, but with it's tiny tires it won't make much difference.
Thank you for delivering my gyro to Germany that fast.
I'm looking forward to my LED-Set and the stackable Terrain.
Sorry for my bad English but I try to do my very best.
Greetings Sir Geldi. Very happy your order arrived quickly. Cheers!
-Brett
nice
i got my red wrangler and black defender today - they are AWESOME. and drive differently, wrangler have about 1 sm longer wheelbase and its harder to fall on side with it. but defender is more interesting and dangerous to drive. those toys are AWESOME. i have 3s 4s and even 8s and those crowlers are MUCH more interesting toys. 👍🤗 highly recomend. its really interesting. im playing 2 hours allready 😊
Will make one for the jeep patriot a limited edition RCA
Dang... this thing looks cooler than the scx24 i just picked up
lol got one to
I liked it so much that I bought one white. It runs weird. When I push the gas the body tilts left. When I make it go in reverse the body tilts (leans) to the right. Is this normal?
heloo
When is kyosho releasing a 2021 bronco version?
Really nice! Can it drive on grass?
They look nice for sure, I still like my scx24's way more mods can be done with the axial
I'll agree with that. And the unit price is better
Also I like the fact that they have aluminum replacement parts. Or brass parts for weight.
WOW $199.99 for a 1/24 scale, That's Insane! For a $100 more you can get a 1/10 scale RedCat Gen8 Scout II. Its an awesome little crawler but not at that price.
I’m buying an RC for my 3 year old car obsessed cousin and this seems perfect! Small, slow, looks amazing, and climbs well. I’m going to put some of the optional LEDs as well!! Gonna be awesome
the big buck $$$$ movie star plows on. huuuuuuuge.
Oh my god.... i want to buy that.....
I’ve had mine pre-ordered for weeks now! Any word on when you will be getting your stock?
It's a rough estimate, but mid November they are supposed to arrive.
-Brett
🔥🔥🔥✌️
I'm pleasantly surprised you quote specs in metric.
nice! do they come in Toyota Tacoma?
Scx24 for the win.
Good
This Jeep probably handles better then my first CJ7 at highway speeds. Safer too.
Me: Yes
My wallet: Please do not
You should see the 1:1 version. So pricey 😂😂😂
I hope Kyosho would release a classic Ford Bronco 4x4.
I'd like to see it zoom around with the big pinion. Appears to have a top speed of about 5 or 6 mph with that pinion?
Yeah, about 5MPH. It's not very fast.
-Brett
1 year later, and I might be drunk, but I just measured the wheelbase on my first gen Jimny Sierra... It's 120mm ?
Could you do comparsion of all 3 4x4 mini-Z (Jimny, Wrangler, 4Runner)?...I cant choose which one to get...
Honestly, the truck chassis underneath each body are the same. It's a matter of choosing the body style you prefer. Although, like we mentioned in this video, the Jeep body does not overhang as much, which should give it a slight advantage in terms of clearance.
-Brett
My battery clip broke before I put the batterys in other than that the truck is great
Please compare with scx24 jeep Rubicon JLU
I have got the Jimny and I am very pleased with it. But the Jeep looks awesome! As it has the same wheelbase as the Jeep, it should be possible to exchange the body, right?
That's a great question. You would think you could easily swap the bodies. The only issue that may prevent it, is how the bumper aligns with the body style. Other than that, it should work.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I have a similar question. I just ordered the Jeep Rubicon because of its improved 120mm wheel base. However I much prefer the look of the 4runner body. Do you know if the 4 runner body fits properly on the 120mm wheel base of the Rubicon? I am thinking of ordering the 4runner body kit but want to be sure it fits.
Thank you
Was thinking the wheels may not line up centred in the wheel arches
I want one! The only issue for me is the batteries. Lipo batteries float my boat a lot more. The scx24 looks cool too but it just doesnt have the same good look and small size.
Don't be afraid of the AAAs, a simple set of Duracell rechargeable Nimh batteries gives 2 to 3 hours of runtime and power they provide is more than enough. If you must use lipo power, it's a super simple mod.
How’s the wheelbase compared to the scx24? Wondering if this body could be made to fit on the scx24 via magnets
No, it's too small to fit properly.
-Brett
Man I wish I had a rc
00:22 What's the song on his intro?
Nice truck...too bad it doesn't run on rechargeable lipos which is a deal breaker for me
Oya jeep eka eka eka kali galavala pannanna puluvanda??
Damn! I have enough!
Would you go with this, the 4 runner or the jimney?
I already bought the Jimney, and I expect I'll get the others...I'd have grabbed a Rubicon by now, but they're releasing more body color options in November and both the upcoming red and yellow bodies are _really_ appealing to me (haven't yet decided which I like best) and worth waiting a few weeks for.
halo Brett, i consider to nuy one because your video, buat it have drag brake, like if we release the gas it would stop? or just like ion road car thad need to push forward? thanks..
Hello Dodi. This vehicle does have drag brake to help it crawl better. So if you release the gas, the vehicle should slowly come to a stop, and hold it's position. Hope that helps!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies perfect 👌🏻
Thanks for replying 🙏🏻
Any real idea on when the trx 4 sport gonna be available
The date on the web site keeps changing and I have it on back order.
Unfortunately I don't have an accurate date. Those dates are given to us and when they are changed, there isn't anything we can do. I'm very sorry for the wait, it's terrible to have a new truck but you can't yet have it. I understand the pain my friend. Let's hope it arrives soon!
-Brett
Still waiting on that SBR 2.0 video
Please please please review the losi super baja rey 2.0
We'd love to but we can't get our hands on one right now.
-Brett
but what if i add a parachute to it will it fly ?????
If you want a cheaper option would definitely go axial scx24 it’s just as capable but the main difference you getting in the mini z is the body shell detail if you don’t care to much about looks the scx24 is 120 and I love mine
Scx24 also comes with a rechargeable Lipo gives about a 30 minute run time on and only 2 hours of charging with supplied charger
If you want something larger I would recommend the traxxas trx4 or the axial scx10 which is what the scx24 is based on but having a larger car your gonna have to expect to pay more
