Kyosho Mini-Z MB-010VE 2.0 chassis set

Coming soon from Kyosho is the Mini-Z MB-010VE 2.0 chassis set. The second generation Mini-Z buggy is equipped with a powerful brushless motor and a new speed controller that improves drive feeling. With tyres and wheels sold separately, the chassis set has been optimised as a racing platform thanks to the capable brushless motor. The other significant change is the newly designed ESC circuit board that delivers vastly improved throttle control, enabling the posture to be controlled through jumps for a distinct racing advantage. In addition to the throttle and brake parameter settings possible with the previous model ESC, with an optional setup cable and free software download, this new circuit board features motor drive frequency and electronic timing settings in the future.
