AWD plus 4-wheel independent suspension marks a new chapter in Mini-Z
history!
If there is a real AWD vehicle out there, you can expect it to appear as a
Mini-Z AWD. Of course, the Mini-Z AWD (All Wheel Drive) chassis maintains its
high performance and sophisticated technology, as well as the incredible
attention to detail. The Mini-Z also manages to achieve its shaft-driven AWD
system in its minimal size with a precision king-pin strut system 4-wheel
independent suspension. In addition, the high efficiency drive system features a
specially shaped crown gear and pinion gear in the newly designed diff gear
unit. The result is a level of resistance through the drive train about the same
as existing 2WD versions to produce true racing machine performance. And the
focus on weight throughout means the AWD is not much heavier than the 2WD
version. However, the AWD features a high-power speed control amp with 30% more
capacity than the existing 2WD chassis to bring out the best performance from
the new chassis. You won't believe that so much power and performance can come
from a machine so small! And the level of detail is as high as ever with a
variety of body styles that match the 65mm minimum width of the chassis
beautifully. The design also allows increased freedom in setting adjustments
such as toe angles with optional parts. If your hungry for the excitement of
high performance racing technology, the new "AWD chassis" puts you right at the
front of the starting grid in the world of micro racing!

- Only 5g heavier than the MR-02 chassis series but features AWD and
4-wheel independent suspension.
- Chassis design allows minimum width of 65mm so most body styles for
MR-01 and MR-015 chassis can be used.
- Wheelbase can be easily adjusted to the Mini-Z Racer M and L sizes so
you can use those exquisite Mini-Z bodies you already own. (Some body shapes
are not able to be used)
Regarding interchangeability between the Mini-Z AWD &
Mini-Z Racer:
- Regarding body fitting, the Mini-Z AWD shares the same dimensions as the
MR-015. Therefore, the bodies that fit the MR-01 and MR-015 and their M and
L-sized wheelbases can be used on the AWD.
- The Mini-Z AWD uses specially designed wheels. These cannot be
interchanged with the Mini-Z Racer wheels. Please choose from the wheels
included in the AWD chassis set.
- The wheels currently available with Auto Scale Collection are not
suitable for the Mini-Z AWD. Please choose from the wheels included in the
AWD chassis set.
- The wiring on the motor used in the Mini-Z AWD is different to motors
used in the current Mini-Z Racer Series up until now. Please use the AWD
motor set.
