Brushless? I don't think so :/

I like it a lot. I am 50/50 on whether I will plunk down for one of these.

I just got my first mini z (actually for my 4 yr old for Christmas). I anguished over the price but I wanted him to have something that looked cool and had proper proportional controls. I am super happy with it overall and the aaa batteries turn out to be a bonus for kids. They last forever and you don’t need to worry about unplugging it after each session.

Lipo yes.....brushless No. If it were brushless, it would be up closer to the $200-$225 price range.

I do like the Kyosho but yeah the non-hex hardware kinda kills it. If they changed that I might be inclined. I do like it and it looks like a pretty decent design.

Long time no see guys! I have not been to this site in years! I wanted to see if anyone posted about the Kyosho and sure enough they did! Cool! I am pre-ordering a Jimny! My guess is with the coronavirus threat the shipping date will be delayed. What timing, eh!! :(

Activepowersports is a shifty drop shipper and should be avoided. Google it for a good read

You should cancel that order and hope you get your money back in a speedy fashion. They don't stock anything. They are a drop shipper.


Did anybody see the newest video on these micros? Apparently Kyosho can only afford a camera from the early 90's because it's 480p!

Thanks for that heads up on Active guys. Ughh time to try to cancel. Of course you can’t call them.

Yes accidentally ordered there once, long shipping time, unreliable, terrible customer service, good luck.

I was able to get a phone number for them through the BBB and actually got a guy on the phone who cancelled it. Now I can order from a reputable site.

Got mine in the other day from AmainHobbies. The detail in the body is amazing. It is probably closer to a 1/27 scale. It has been a blast since we are stuck at home.....

Dude that is amazing! I debated a mini z or an SCX24 and ultimately I went with the axial mainly because I had to buy two.... I regret it because those things look gnarly!

Please report on quality. I am hoping quality is what will seperate this from Axial. Axial always to put out low quality crap that breaks easily and most of its customer base is more than ok with it for somw reason.
