The MX-01 platform represents a significant departure from traditional Mini-Z offerings, engineered specifically for serious rock crawling enthusiasts. Its ladder frame chassis incorporates steel vertical plates for optimal rigidity and flex, whilst solid front and rear axles feature steel rod links and ball ends that can withstand demanding terrain. With adjustable wheelbase settings (110mm or 120mm), selectable gearing through six interchangeable pinion gears, and exceptional Ackermann steering geometry for tight turning radius, this 1/28 Mini-Z delivers uncompromising performance. The included KT-531P 2.4GHz FHSS transmitter offers dual-rate steering adjustment, trim functions, and LED control, whilst the 130 Class high-torque motor and precision speed controller ensure smooth, responsive operation. Factory-installed 18 ball bearings guarantee efficiency from the moment you unbox it. Simply add four AAA alkaline batteries to the chassis and four to the transmitter, and you’re ready to explore. RC car parts UK enthusiasts will appreciate Kyosho’s attention to detail and quality engineering that defines Mini-Z by Kyosho RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MX-01 is ready to run and fully assembled, making it accessible to newcomers. However, as a dedicated rock crawler with adjustable settings (wheelbase, gearing, steering rates), it's designed more for enthusiasts who want to optimise performance rather than absolute beginners seeking simplicity.
The chassis and transmitter each require four AAA alkaline batteries (eight total). The product description doesn't specify runtime, so we'd recommend checking the manual for expected battery life and considering rechargeable AAA batteries for cost-effectiveness.
You receive a fully assembled and factory-painted Land Rover Defender 90 Adventure body with scale accessories (roof rack, ladder, light bar, safari snorkel), the MX-01 chassis with motor and speed controller, the KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter, and six interchangeable pinion gears for gearing selection. You'll need to supply eight AAA batteries.
At 1/28 scale, it's compact enough to drive on desktops and tabletop terrain whilst still capable of handling outdoor exploration in parks and gardens. Its small size makes it portable and suitable for various environments without taking up significant space.
Unlike traditional Mini-Z models, the MX-01 is purpose-built for rock crawling with a rigid ladder frame chassis, solid front and rear axles, steel rod links, adjustable wheelbase (110mm or 120mm), and a high-torque motor—delivering serious climbing and crawling performance rather than speed-focused driving.
