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. :) kzfaq.infor59XWtMz21E

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Hi! A lot of people like the minis because you can carry them around so easily. Take a couple out in a backpack and have some fun on a hike. They're also great in the winter, because when there's too much snow outside, you can build a little course and have fun indoors. I've also suggested them to anyone that has mobility issues that wants to get into the hobby. I'm mostly a 1/10 scale user, but totally get the appeal for the little guys. Thanks for watching!
