What are the types of Mini-Z commonly played in Singapore?

Below are the most commonly played Mini Z R/C vehicle:

RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) – Currently popular chassis includes the latest MR-03 & value for money MR-02EX. Both Chassis are controlled by a 2.4ghz transmitter. Primary methods of playing includes official touring on track and impromptu racing in various locations (e.g. MSCP, void deck, basketball/ soccer court e.t.c)

AWD (All Wheel Drive) – Currently latest chassis is MA-015 but there are still many racers who are still playing the older MA-010 chassis. Both Chassis are controlled by a 2.4ghz transmitter. Primary methods of play includes Touring and/or drifting. Due to its ideal size and precise handling, there are a huge number of players drifting with Mini Z AWD in their own living room.

Buggy – Small in size but big in fun. Like its bigger counterpart, Mini z Buggy are played in almost all type of surfaces & terrain.

Other Types of Mini-Z includes Formula 1, Dnano (An even smaller version of Mini Z at scale of 1:43), Mini Z Motorbike (Coming soon)


Why do people like to play Mini Z??

1. Playable in doors in many areas (not weather dependent)

What is the difference between the 2 main chassis type? (MR02EX & MR03)

ReflexRacing has put in good words on this FET
http://www.reflexracing.net/proddetail.asp?prod=FDS8858

katze

i have used the 8858 fets and also 4562 fets.... 4562 is excellent for stock class due to its more punchy throttle response while 8858 makes extra hot motors more tame at the initial phase of throttling... power wise, all are the same but 4562 might give u the illusion that it has slightly more due to its punchy response...

So which is good? >>> its really to own preference and driving style....

and fred is selling them at good prices, i am grabbing some if you dont....

QuantumRC

Which is why we have been promoting them since day 1.

There is also another kind of FET which is a in-between 4562 and 8858s..

QuantumRC

Yes and no in a way. It depends on how you do your throttle settings on your TX.

Katze, yes you are right, it prob boils down to driver preference and driving style.
