*Can be operated with previous MINI-Z Racer ASF2.4 GHz 2-channel transmitter.

Equipped with driver-friendly ECO tuned brushless motor.
Chassis set with body to commemorate Kyosho’s 50th anniversary!

 

The benefits of brushless motor technology enhance the world’s greatest micro motor sports machine in the MINI-Z Racer ‘VE’ series. To commemorate its 50th anniversary, Kyosho is proud to introduce this limited release‘MR-03VE BCS version installed with the user-friendly ECO tuned VE motor. This is the first body/chassis set in the VE series. Easy enough for beginners to control, the adrenalin rush of micro motor sports can be enjoyed by more people than ever before. The unique characteristics of brushless motors including the extended high RPM, flat torque feel, low resistance due to no terminal contact, minimal dust and electric noise, have brought new possibilities to the MINI-Z Racer. The effect is particularly felt in the more linear response. Such smooth acceleration makes it easy to forget this is a sensorless brushless motor. Of course this model is officially approved for racing in the MINI-Z Cup. In addition, precision adjustment of each setting can be made with the special circuit board ICS (requires adapter). Go to the Kyosho website for free download of the ‘ICS VE Manager’ software. Even an optional gyro can be installed. The outstanding performance characteristics of the MR-03 chassis are enhanced by the ECO tuned brushless motor to produce a new level of thrilling racing action.

5600KV ECO tuned brushless motor installed. Finished in blue metallic color.

 

Features special brushless motor circuit board that can be added on to the MR-03 chassis. Equipped with 3 LEDs for status validation and ICS function. Gyro unit can be installed as well.

 

Chassis is compatible with all existing body styles and has a space for gyro installation inside the upper cover.

Equipped with previously optional ball diff set (No.MZW206) as standard. Matches the power output of the brushless motor.

 

Features silicon cables and high quality gold plated motor terminals to handle high power.

brushless motor
In place of the brush and commutator used in brushed motors up until now, brushless motors rely on the electric circuit to power the motor. To generate power, brushed motors required constant contact between the brush and commutator, which generated resistance and caused wear on the contact areas to reduce the motor's durability.
Brushless motors eliminate this problem and produce higher power output, torque and higher top end performance from the same power input. As there is no contact area, durability is improved so the motor maintains its higher level of performance for longer. These characteristics allow R/C models to perform at higher levels than ever before.

MR-03 Chassis Types
Chassis type for each MR-03 set is displayed below.

MR-03 Chassis Types

<Note: When Converting>

●Front tread When converting to narrow or wide tread, the appropriate type of front lower and upper plates as well as the steering tie rod are required.
●Rear tread Install the special wheels included on the each body.
●Wheelbase Adjust with the parts included on the body.

VCS (Variable Camber Suspension) takes performance to a new dimension!

Upper arms connected to king pins and knuckles with ball links allow the camber angle to change with suspension stroke, just like on a real car. Tire contact with the surface remains constant, even during chassis roll and suspension stroke from surface tracing. The newly developed digital steering servo uses a coreless motor that delivers quick steering response and sharp maneuverability that feels like its riding on rails. Also, the upper arm and one-piece cantilever provide ideal cushioned movement for the coil spring. In addition, the stainless steel king pin and wheel shaft delivers smooth movement for excellent running stability. Precision geometry settings eliminate toe in and toe out change during suspension stroke and produce a neutral steering feel. The innovative VCS (Variable Camber Suspension) represents a significant evolutionary step in the history of the MINI-Z.

Newly developed digital steering servo features coreless motor and new gear reduction ratio
The powerful position retention and movement of the digital servo is enhanced with the adoption of a coreless motor that provides instantaneous pick up and stopping. In addition, the newly developed steering gear unit has 3 times the gear ratio of previous versions for greater power in holding its position so it holds its line firmly in the face of kickbacks from the road surface and also delivers even more precise movement and response.
