Default C7 ZR1 Kyosho Mini-Z... Any R/C enthusiasts out there?

Kyosho America just posted this. I couldn’t be more excited, love Kyosho’s products and can’t wait for the release. Any other R/C hobbyists/racers out there?

RC guy here, love the hobby. Our son has been building cars last couple years and is 13 now. Not only does he like driving, racing and bashing em but like me he likes building and upgrading more, future modder for sure! Lol

That looks pretty cool and Kyosho was my prefered brand back in the day. I have this sitting waiting to be built. First car was an Ultima then an Optima.


Have a great day and I might just have to get one of those, if they offer it as a kit that is.

The mini-z won’t be a kit, they come ready to run. I built the Kyosho TF7.7 electric 1/10 on road car kit and put the ProtoForm ZR1 body on it. Had a guy in Chicago paint it like my car even down to the carbon pieces

Damn, that's awesome! That's one thing we don't have, an on-road car, we just have no decent way to use one around here. I think the mini would be a great basement car for winter! Lol, today's slot car. HA

Nice! My very first kit as a kid was a Kyosho Javelin which is identical to the Optima, except it had a cage body. Simpler times!
