Overview

Introduction

In 2019 the world’s most popular mini RC series, known as the Kyosho MINI-Z, celebrated more than 20 years of unmatched performance and scale realism in the hobby-grade RC category. The continuous pursuit of performance and evolution has led to the creation of a completely-new ??MINI-Z 4×4′ design that delivers an all-new driving experience for RC fans of all stripes, with superior overall design, driving performance and high-quality injection-molded scale body construction. A significant feature of the MINI-Z 4×4 series is the greater emphasis of body detail and quality of finish that even surpasses existing benchmarks set by the MINI-Z. The body is also molded with thicker material to better resist crash damage from operation in rough terrain. Incorporating the same ladder- style frame of real 4WD vehicles, the MINI-Z 4×4 boasts a 3-link rigid axle suspension combining what would normally be two upper links into a single upper A-arm to deliver maximum suspension movement. A specially designed high-torque steering servo enables this machine to throw its elbows around in the hard terrain for excellent performance in the toughest rock-crawler conditions. The high-torque 130-size motor brings out the beast in the MINI-Z 4×4, specially geared to run well in the low to medium speed ranges common in crawling.

Designed to balance exquisite style, scale detail and superior driving performance, all the MINI-Z 4×4 needs is 8 x AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately). Enjoy driving under any conditions, from normal driving to rock crawling while appreciating the stunning visual appearance. The Kyosho Mini-Z 4×4 is the only mini crawler that delivers a full range of crawling performance in a smaller package.

Since 1948 this British cross-country legend has been active for more than 60 years. As the saying goes all good things come to an end, and the Defender 90 Adventure is one of three models created to commemorate the end of the Defender era. As its name suggests, this is one of the toughest models in the series and is fully equipped for the great outdoor adventure.
