We have been informed that by inverting the king pin the steering movement can be considerably improved. Even PN Racing have taken out the time to put together an explanatory video on how to improve steering smoothness through the inversion of the king pin.
These new parts are available as of this week at our on-line store. Remember that once these parts are available on our website they can be sent to you within 19 hours.
As you will notice, by installing the inferior carbon plate it becomes much easier to change the steering bar than it was previously when it wasn´t installed.
A 4 piece kit is provided for mounting the wheel opposite the differential crown on our Mini-Z´s. This could be a very useful option if you use a differential of the Kyosho series which includes a plastic part that provides enough tolerance. By replacing this plastic part for an aluminium one the play of the wheel will disappear and the car will show greater stability.
Along with the spacers set, an M3 allen screw set will also be supplied to allow for the excellent mounting of the differencial axle.
For some time now on the RCP Foam Tracks, the kyosho 20 rear tire with tread pattern or the 6º PN Racing pattern. To date, the front tires available with the best results have been those by Atomic with 30º and 40º hardness with groove patterns, and the PN Racing RSF20 and RSF15.
A tire that from now on we believe will give a lot to talk about is the front Kyosho 30º tire that provides a bit more spin than the 30º PN Racing RSF15 and the Atomic 30º. Also, for certain types of track outline these can help us cut down our lap times.
This is the R246 version of the Mini-Z body that replicates the BMW M3 E46. This version of the replica is that of the white GTR model that includes quite a large competition type wing.
As far as the mold is concerned it is the same one that Kyosho used some years ago and the R246 is a real bombshell for carrying out new decorations.
Just as is indicated on the product package, this car body is valid for the Mini-Z MR02 MM and the Mini-Z MR03 Wide MM
This car body forms part of a total collection of 7 BMW M3 car bodies that will be described below:
* BMW M3 GTR ALMS 2001 No. 6
* BMW M3 GTR ALMS 2001 No.10
* BMW M3 GTR ALMS 2001 No.42
* BMW M3 GTR 24h Daytona 2004 No.21
* BMW M3 GTR Nurburgring 2003 No. 43
* BMW M3 GTR Nurburgring 2005 No. 1
* BMW M3 GTR White Body
Version that we have at hand don´t include the rims needed for our chassis; which means that we will have to buy a set of rims that come with the model.
We recommend the use of wide 11mm rims with a +0mm offset and a narrow 8,5mm front assembly with an offset of +0mm.
The body is well made even though the decoration isn´t as impeccable as what we are used to seeing with Kyosho´s decorations.
The detail of the side exhaust pipes using stickers and the non elimination of the rear exhaust pipes gives a certain lack of realism.
On a more subjective note the wing seems a bit over sized and over done. However, what does seem like a good idea is that of recovering the former Kyosho body that in its day worked out very well but didn´t have any competition decorations available for it.
This version created by TRP scale is totally compatible with the version that Kyosho has on the market, along with the large difference of its final price that makes it difficult for this chassis accessory to get popular.
The function of the gyroscope in the dnano and MR03 is to offer maximum stability to the car by equiping it with automatic steering and throttle correction in case of skidding of the rear assembly.
We find this very useful when the surface that we race on doesn´t have much grip (e.g. parquet, stone, or polished cement)
Nevertheless, it´s an option that is widely used in competitions given that it provides greater stability for the vehicle. We consider that with the dNaNo and MR03 it is ideal for use at home.
Its operation and components are 100% equal to those of Kyosho.
