Kyosho Mini-Z Honda Civic Type R FWD R/C Car

By: Tim Gluth

The Mini-Z lineup is expanding, thanks to the new Honda Civic Type R model from Kyosho. Based on their well-traveled MR-03 platform, this model stays true to the 1:1 model it's replicating and features a front-wheel-drive system.

With full ball bearings throughout the chassis (12 in all), this model should roll smoothly and effortlessly, reducing friction and providing more power to go directly to the wheels. The wheelbase can be adjusted to three lengths (90mm, 94mm, and 98mm) and an optional gyro and LED light setup can help improve drivability and scale appeal.

Speaking of scale appeal, the details found in the body of the Kyosho Mini-Z Honda Civic are stunning. From the front to the rear, you'll see the same body lines and elements found in the 1:1 street model faithfully replicated in 1/27-scale. Two body colors are available (white and red) with each featuring authentic Honda Civic "badging" decals.
