Mini-Z
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mini-Z is a brand name for a popular line of 1:28-scale electric radio-controlled cars manufactured by Kyosho Corporation, a Japanese manufacture of various radio-controlled devices. [1] Radio Shack's popular XMODS line is similar in appearance. They can be modified quite extensively with parts both from Kyosho Corporation and from various aftermarket suppliers. The cars and modification parts are typically available in hobby stores and also through online hobby retailers. Many hobbyists race their cars against others. [2]
