semi decent 1:28th ?

[>M<]

just recently discovered a 1:28 little race club near me and wouldn't mind getting back into it all, after something I can mod fairly nicely... I have no clue about this ratio and from what I can tell there isn't much about.. I did see something a bout miniz? unsure what they are just seems like a certain brand? or is it its own genre? 

 

thanks in advance

I followed this as I also ould quite like some 1:28 models, but seems there isn't many fans round here.

Perhaps it's a good idea to head to the track and talk to the guys there... Then report back [emoji16]

Associated mt28, sc28,  & the buggy version.   Tough little trucks. &  if you do the 2s conversion really quick. Have a Google

May be best to pop down to the club and see what the majority are running?

Ignore my comment, I didn't realise you wanted to race.

Mini-Z model MR-03 Evo is the best current racing Mini-Z 

 

Loads of available options by Kyosho themselves and the likes of PN, Atomic etc.

 

I’m more of an AWD driver so I run a GLA, Mini-Z’s run AAA and the GLA is a 2S Lipo powered 1/28 so you might need to check into what the club runs.

 

heres my MR-03 Evo and GLA

They look so good!

Been looking into some minis/micros myself 

after a ton of research and some hands on I’ve got to say e kyosho mini z’s are very good and will be a purchase of mine ready for the winter

 

if you are going to go this small though you need a very good surface to drive on certainly for the tourers and drifters

 

the mini z buggy’s look very cool and will probably be what I’ll pick up a couple of 

 

hobby grade so fully upgradable and apparently....so close to the 1/10 in handling that they are great for practice 

 

but there’s nothing ‘semi’ decent about them

theyre not cheap but very high quality

they look epic, I kinda wanted to be able to do them races too or just have fun with my son, 

 

where did you get your MR-03 Evo  from? I actually see this a week or so ago, but when I was looking they were £180+ from over seasons (so +VAT)

these don't look to bad but lack any sort of upgrade-ability  i think, they do look perfect for my 10 year old though!

I have the SC28

 

Edit - sorry I have the RC28T - But it's almost the same.

 

Great for messing around in the livingroom but they get clogged up with hair and fluff super easily.

I get all my Mini-Z kit from Jason at Redfin models Letchworth, he’s got to be one of the biggest Mini-Z UK retailers.

 

The MR-030 Evo was around £200 and then the Rx ontop

think I like the idea of the AWD though,  which one is the MA-030 EVO? hmm does look very nice haha, the 12000 motor must be epic, I guess only t he miniz engines fit in them?

 

its goes from bargain to extreme, the price of these, there doesn't seem to be anything in the mid section, £100's its either £50 or £200 just for a chassis lol

The Evo AWD is the MA-030

The Evo RWD is MR-03

 

MA-030 comes with the red 8500kv motor and the MR-03 has a few options 4100kv, 5600kv, 8500kv and 12000kv 

 

For most tracks the 12000kv is too much, I’d say our new track with a 11m straight has been the first time it’s been useful.

 

8500 is good on the AWD and for the RWD I’d go 8500 on a big track or 5600 on the everything else.

 

Here’s our track to give you an idea
