Kyosho Nissan GT-R Spec-V Mini-Z

20091127_0006

New for the Mini Z AWD series is the limited-production Nissan GT-R Spec V model. The GT-R Spec V was designed not only for driving in the neighbourhood but the circuit as well. The chassis uses lightweight performance parts throughout making it 60kg /136lb. lighter than the standard version.

The temptation for Kyosho to recreate the same high performance and style of a true AWD (all-wheel-drive) in Mini-Z size was simply too much to resist. The advanced design combines a shaft driven AWD with a precision 4-wheel independent suspension using a king-pin and strut system in an ultra-compact chassis. The addition of newly designed front and rear differential units using crown and pinion gears produces high efficiency drive performance with similar low levels of resistance to the existing 2WD version. Also, the addition of the AWD drive train hardly increases the weight of the chassis at all, enabling the benefits of AWD to be realized without any downside. The final result is a powerful chassis with awesome handling. The narrow 65mm width of the chassis also matches a wide range of the exquisite car bodies that the Mini-Z is famous for. The design also allows for personalized setting adjustments such as easy toe angle changes with optional parts. This AWD chassis introduces a completely new dimension to the high-tech world of micro racing.

Features

2.4GHz Chassis – New ASF 2.4GHz system automatically scans for open frequencies to guarantee control safe from radio interference. Simply conduct the pairing of the PERFEX KT-18 (sold separately) with the chassis to complete preparation.
Ultra Fast Response – Ultra fast signal processing speed results in almost instantaneous control response. One transmitter can be registered to multiple 2.4GHz chassis.
FET Speed Doubled – FET speed control amp with almost double the capacity of the previous model delivers powerful running performance. Equipped with I.C.S. terminals.
LED Indicator – Features LED indicator that lights to show power status.
Drivetrain – Sophisticated mechanics include mid-ship motor mount, shaft drive AWD and 4-wheel independent suspension.
Universal Swing Shaft – Metal core resin universal swing shafts equipped on all wheels to realize unobstructed suspension movement for efficient transfer of drive power.
Differentials – Uniquely shaped gear teeth on the crown and pinion gear drive the propeller shaft for the precision 3-bevel gear differentials.
Endless Adjustments – Toe-in angles on front and rear can be adjusted with the use of optional parts. Simple tie-rod attachment / detachment makes maintenance easy.
Bump Stop – Front features bump stop to avoid body contact with chassis and regulate suspension stroke.
Power Transfer – Drive energy is transferred to the ground through high strength resin universal swing shafts with metal core.
Maximum Efficiency – Equipped with 4 precision ball bearings for high drive efficiency.
Independent Suspension – 4-wheel independent suspension with king-pin strut system realizes excellent running stability & performance.
Adjustable Wheelbase – 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 ASC Body Shell may not be compatible).
