About this product
Experience the authentic thrill of rock crawling with this beautifully detailed 1/28 scale replica of the iconic Land Rover Defender 90. Finished in striking Coniston Green with factory-applied paintwork, this Kyosho Mini-Z by Kyosho creation brings professional-grade scale detail to your desktop or garden. The MX-01 chassis represents a significant departure from traditional Mini-Z models, engineered specifically to deliver genuine climbing and crawling capabilities that expand your RC hobby possibilities. Whether you’re navigating rocky terrain or tackling challenging obstacles, this electric RC car combines meticulous attention to scale authenticity with superior driving performance that serious enthusiasts demand.
As a ready to run RC car, setup is refreshingly straightforward—simply add eight AAA alkaline batteries and you’re prepared for action with the included KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter. The engineering beneath that premium bodywork is equally impressive: a ladder frame chassis with steel components, solid front and rear axles with metal construction, and 18 factory-installed ball bearings ensure smooth, efficient operation right out of the box. The specially-designed high-torque 130 motor excels at low-speed performance, whilst adjustable gearing (six pinion options) lets you tailor performance from extreme crawling to faster running. Coil-over shock absorbers with 360-degree spring retainers and an adjustable wheelbase (110-120mm) provide the suspension tuning serious crawler drivers expect, delivering approximately 50 minutes of running time per charge.
