It's 4WD, electric and fits in the palm of your hand - it's the Kyosho Mini-Z 4X4. Today, we run through this mini rock crawler, inspecting the scale body and any new chassis updates, and then we drive it.
Take a look at the Jeep Mini-Z 4X4 here:

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!

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 🤷‍♂️

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 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) .

I love the detail of the Mini-Z line, I own the 4-Runner and an MA-020. However, the crawling capability is sub-par for the price. The steering servo is way too weak, and it's difficult to fit an aftermarket one. The licensed tires are cool but are essentially slicks at this scale. I upgraded to scx-24 wheels, and the servo issue was made ten times worse, barely turning the wheels at all when stationary. Using triple A batteries mounted high on the chassis also really detracts from the vehicle's capability, IMO the root of all the side/backward rollovers. If you have a budget of $200, I personally suggest buying an SCX-24 and some upgrades. The Mini-Z crawlers are an awesome desk toy/display piece, but if you're expecting to crawl over more than a keyboard, buy the SCX-24.

Anyone interested in running normal three wire servos or the other "industry standard" parts in their Mini-Z should check it out! He's also got great scale accessories, I've ordered from him twice now.
