Love the smaller stuff I find it easier to find things to crawl

Love the small scale! Starting in 1/24 plastic models years ago, these are a perfect fit. This make the Mini-Z much more appealing now as compared to Axial. Up to 13 SCX24s… so yes, I’m an addict. These may be next…

The mini and micro stuff is great. A bit cheaper, and cheaper upgrades, and you can use them almost anywhere. And easier to find hard bodies for them, like model kit bodies for 1:24 and smaller trucks. If you want to go mini, and capable, and with some quality upgrades you should try out the Orlandoo Hunter Model trucks. Fun builds, if a bit frustrating at times, and pretty capable even in stock form. And they make some really nice quality upgrades for them too, to really bling them up and get them to perform even better. :) kzread.infor59XWtMz21E

Yep, we love the furitek stuff and the mini crawlers.

I've been into mini-z for over a decade now so my mind changed instantly from the scx24 to the mx01 when they released it. I agree more tires options wouldn't hurt. I do find the 1.0 inch to be too big for my liking though so my choice would probably be the new 0.7 from rc4wd. Kyosho has expensive oil shocks but I think yeah racing has now an option too that is a bit cheaper. Hot racing has one set too.

Thanks for commenting on my comment on your comment 😂. I definitely see the appeal of the mini rigs, so portable. A lot of fans of 1/24 are sharing how they use them and it’s made me appreciate them even more.

Carisma make really small oil shocks for their small scale trucks. I got some that work really good on my 1/18 RC4WD D90.

Looks great! Good shocks seems to be the missing holy grail of small scale crawlers. I went on a quest for my scx24 and I still haven't found any. I've been racing mini z on road for years and I love the scale detail of the bodies, they look so good and the National race series we run features tracks that fit in my garage. I love 1/10 scale, but I would never use it if I had to plan and drive to a track. The minis get a lot more use, I can just crawl on my messy desk as a work break.

Hey Matt that thing is cool

I’m really liking the Miniz just because it’s a little smaller and seems like 1/24 model kit bodies would fit on it a lot better. I’m going to need to look deeper in this one

I have one of each now. Lol very fun to tinker with.

Well thats super cool. I love the 4 runner mini they did. I just dont own one haha. I like the small ones... but being on the Blind side of things.... the small stuff is not easy to work on. This looks great. Very cool to see how everything is coming along in the little truck world.

Matt - thanks for reviewing upgrades for this model. You mentioned you might be interested in upgrading the shocks... I grabbed a set of Eagle Racing SP shocks for the mini-z from eBay and I could not be happier with them. 1000% better than the stock setup.

Kyosho does make red metal shocks for this car. Kyosho also makes a front metal axle too. Thoughts?

Some mini desert lizards would be good

Slap some mini hyrax on your car! I love my mini z, but mine has nothing to do with yours! It's a RWD GT-R drifter 😉 So many hop ups and so much tuning possibilities, but like you said you can end up spending quite a good amount of money on those tiny things. I have the rear train tuned, offset wheels on point, LF 3 tires, now working on the steering, though this will probably be the cheapest by just changing and tuning the springs. Last chunk will probably be changing the esc and receiver, and a mini Rx for my gt5 only sells for 7 bucks so that's good. I'll stick with my scx 24 for the mini crawler. ! But will surely end up finishing it with a esc motor and Rx swap. Also for practicality and to rule them all with just one transmitter

Looks sweet. I just installed some 3D printed parts to replace the stock electronics trays and the servo from my SCX24, otherwise I would get that chassis. I am getting the electronics, it looks like a nice system. Does it come with the same plug as the SCX24 batteries?

I had to use another new receiver, so I’m running a Spektrum system. As for batteries, any 2S LiPo would work!

Scx24 is where it’s at. Axial puts out a good mini RC out of the box and aftermarket allows customization to the extreme. I’m amazed at what mine can do, I’ve turned it into a functionally and aesthetically amazing super machine to the point I’m not interested in anything else.

Would I run a Furitek chassis and brushless setup? Sure, if they'd like to send me one to run and review for my channel! All added together, you could push a single Mini-Z up over $1k by installing all the available options. I love their appeal, yes. But, man, a person can invest so much money in this hobby. Gearing down with the included kit gets some pretty amazing performance with the Z right out of the box. But, yes, I am intrigued. Just how much is my wallet intrigued. I added everything up at Furitek and it's close to $400 in parts. Plus the $200 for the already awesome Z ... sheesh. We're deep in 1/10 scale territory on those costs!
