The MR-03 chassis
heralds a new era in the world of the
Mini-Z Racer. The objective first, was to develop
a chassis that could provide better
handling dynamics than the older MR-02
chassis and this peak performance chassis
doesn't disappoint. It blows its predecessor
away! Second, the chassis
needed to be versatile so, that all the previous
MR-015 and MR-02 series bodies would fit. This
allows almost all of the bodies from all previous
Mini Z racers to fit
with ease.
The MR-03 chassis is
uncompromisingly designed for racing
performance. It is considerably narrower than
the MR-02's predecessor and has a
much lower center of gravity. This results in
significantly higher cornering
speeds and very agile handling. The newly
developed chassis front wheel
alignment gives the maximum mechanical grip
and perfect traction in all driving
situations.
The Mini-Z MR-03-
Racers are equipped with the latest 2.4
GHz wireless technology. When you turn on the
transmitter the entire frequency
band is automatically scanned and selects a
free channel. This eliminates
the need to organize finding frequencies for
drivers. A total of up to 40 models
can be operated simultaneously with this new
system and there are no crystals!
The frequencies are generated by a PLL
synthesizer.
Along with the new
2.4GHz radio technology, all the
electronics have been revised for the MR-03.
The new processor runs faster and
in conjunction with the Hi-Speed FETs gives the
MR-03 ultra fast response to
user inputs. The MR-03-Racer does not include
the 2.4 GHz transmitter. The
Kyosho Perfex KT-18 transmitter No.
KYO82001 is not included with the MR-03 sets
and must be purchased separately.
Some of the new hi-
tech features are included in the new
electronics in the MR-03. The RA-22 2.4 GHz
receiver control unit can use the
optional DNW-107 piezo gyro to increase the
stability of the car. The piezo-gyro
detects movement of the vehicle about its
vertical axis (skidding), long before
they are visible to the human eye and controls it
within a split second.
In the front of the car
sits a high-resolution digital
servo, which receives the steering commands
and translates them in a split
second to the wheels. The new servo has a
coreless servo motor which is durable and fast.
The gear ratio in the servo is 94.41:1.
The front wheels are
independently fitted with
spring-mounted, double wishbone suspension.
The high-grip, low profile tires
give the MR-03-Racer uncompromising traction.
In conjunction with the extremely
low center of gravity a breathtaking driving
dynamic is achieved which, on
models of this size has never been realized
before. These precision designed
cars drive and
handle more like their much larger
counterparts.
The control board of
MR-03-Racer comes equipped with an
ICS interface. With a special USB cable and
software, purchased separately (KYO82080),
the chassis setup can be programmed by your
computer. The setup data of the
vehicle can be conveniently stored on your hard
drive.
The rear axle of the
MR-03 chassis is based on proven MR-02
components. Through the spring loaded
Powerpod, the chassis is very flexible and
adapts to any road situation perfectly. The
batteries are mounted so that the
center of gravity is very low for improved
handling.
The Unbelievable paint finish
is actually hand polished!
One of the special
features of the MR-03 is the amazing
pre-finished body. After assembly
and final quality control, the models are hand
polished and brought to a perfect
shine. The detail and
finish is "Show quality" and deserves a place on
display under glass.
However, if you decide to run yours in the sun
light, the MR-03-racer looks like
a precious jewel!

-
VCS (Variable Camber Suspension)
– The upper control arms are
connected to king-pins and knuckles with ball
links and allow the camber angle to
change with suspension stroke, just like a real
car. Tire contact with the surface remains
constant, even during
chassis roll and suspension stroke
from surface tracing. The newly developed
digital steering servo uses a coreless
motor that delivers quick steering
response and sharp maneuverability
that feels like its riding on rails.
Also, the upper arm and one-piece
cantilever provide ideal cushioned
movement for the coil spring. In
addition, the stainless steel king pin and
wheel shaft deliver smooth
movement for excellent running stability.
Precision geometry settings eliminate
toe in and toe out change during
suspension stroke and produce a
neutral steering feel. The innovative VCS
(Variable Camber Suspension)
represents a significant evolutionary step in
the history of the MINI-Z.
-
Digital Steering Servo
- The powerful position retention and
movement of the digital servo is
enhanced with the adoption of a
coreless motor that provides instantaneous
pick up and stopping. In addition, the
newly developed steering gear unit
has 3 times the gear ratio of previous
versions for greater power in holding
it's position so it keeps it's line firmly
in the face of kickbacks from the
road surface and also delivers even
more precise movement and response.
-
Battery Layout
- Same battery layout as the MR-02
chassis achieving a low center of gravity
with a main chassis width equal to
the narrow MR-015.
-
Compatible With All ASC Bodies
- The main chassis is compatible with
all MINI-Z ASC, AutoScale bodies,
ranging from MR-015, MR-02 and
AWD. Pick and choose from any body in the
Mini Z AutoScale body series; there
are 100's of bodies to choose from.
*Special motor case and differential
gear assembly is required to fit some
body styles.
-
RA-22 2.4GHz RX TX Technology
- Equipped with the new next
generation RA-22 2.4GHz RC unit specially
designed for the MR-03. Requires no
frequency bands. Simply switch power ON
and enjoy safe and stable control. SF
2.4GHz system automatically scans for
open frequencies and promises safer
and more secure control.
-
Coreless Motor + New Gear
Reduction Ratio
- Digital steering servo features a
coreless motor and a gear unit that has
3 times the gear reduction ratio of
previous units for powerful movement and
position retention.
-
Adjustable Front Tread
- Can be set to either narrow or wide
tread by replacing the front lower and
upper plates and steering tie rod. Of
course the wheelbase can still be
adjusted to suit certain car types.
-
Endless Adjustments
- Coil springs in the front suspension
can be easily replaced by removing
the spring stopper with just two
screws. Motor mount can be easily removed
and replaced to suit whatever chassis
configuration you want to run from a
MM, RM, HM or LM type of mount.
-
Powerful Performance
- FET speed control amp with more
than double the capacity of previous
version produces extra powerful
running performance.
-
KT-18 2.4GHz Transmitter
- Newly developed 2.4GHz R/C
system requires no frequency crystals and
automatically scans for open
frequencies, allowing up to 40 cars to be
run together. Simply switch the
power on for stable control without
interference. The fastest signal
processing in the history of R/C results in
almost instantaneous reaction to the
driver's will for a more direct control
feel. By pairing the transmitter to the
chassis, a single transmitter can be
registered and used with multiple
2.4GHz MINI-Z models. To match the latest
R/C technology, a new generation
LM chassis has been developed for even
greater performance. *Transmitter
