Celebrate a dual milestone in motorsport and RC history with the Kyosho Mini-Z McLaren F1 GTR, a special edition marking the 30th Anniversary of Kyosho Europe. This release perfectly captures a moment in time, pairing the 1995 establishment of Kyosho's European branch with the McLaren F1 GTR that famously won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the very same year. This Ready to Run car is more than just a model; it's a tribute to a golden era, arriving fully assembled and ready to be displayed as a collector's piece or driven straight out of the box. For fans of motorsport history and RC alike, this is a unique chance to own a piece of Kyosho heritage.
Beneath the iconic, factory-finished body lies the modern and capable MR-04 chassis. This platform is a significant step up from its predecessors, featuring a revamped steering system and an ultra-low centre of gravity for faster cornering speeds and increased stability. The Ready to Run package includes the reliable KT-531P transmitter and a full set of ball bearings, ensuring a smooth and responsive driving experience. For those looking to upgrade, the chassis is ready to accept optional gyro (MZW711) and LED light (MZW429R) units, allowing you to add driving aids and functioning rear lights. This special edition perfectly blends classic motorsport legacy with contemporary RC performance.
The new MR-04 chassis delivers a significant step up in performance. By lowering the centre of gravity, it provides improved cornering stability and better straight-line handling. The chassis is also designed for easier control, making it a great introduction to the world of high-performance RC cars.
Experience sharper and more linear steering control thanks to the newly designed front Hubs. They reduce scrub by 1.5mm on each side compared to the previous MR-03 chassis. The Hubs also house larger 3mm inner diameter ball bearings, which further reduce rotational resistance for a smoother front end.
The front suspension geometry has been designed for maximum grip. It dynamically aligns the camber angle during suspension movement, helping to maintain optimal tyre contact with the track surface through corners. A revised caster angle also provides improved steering response, making the car more precise and predictable.
Powered by four standard AAA batteries, the MR-04 features a low-profile mounting position. This places the batteries lower in the chassis compared to the previous model, contributing to the car's very low centre of gravity. This design directly improves cornering stability and straight-line handling performance.
The rear suspension is equipped with a coil spring shock absorber that effectively cushions shocks from the track surface. This simple yet effective system improves driving stability, especially over bumps and imperfections. For further tuning, the unit can also be upgraded to an optional oil-filled shock absorber.
The rear suspension features a flexible T-bar plate that holds the entire rear motor pod. The flex of this plate acts as a key suspension component, allowing the rear end to move and absorb bumps for excellent traction. Optional T-bars are also available in FRP and carbon for tuning.
For maximum efficiency and performance, all axles are equipped with low rotational resistance ball bearings as standard. This reduces friction in the drivetrain, leading to higher top speeds and longer run times. The front and rear use the same size bearings, simplifying maintenance and spare parts management.
The MR-04 is designed for customization. When changing to a different body, an included parts set allows you to change the front tread (vehicle width) to get the perfect fit. The rear tread can also be easily changed by using wheels with different offsets, giving you plenty of tuning options.
