Kyosho's Jumpin' Jimny (Mini-Z 4x4)
Along with their Mini-Z 4x4 Toyota 4Runner, Kyosho has also released a 1/24-scale replica of the Suzuki Jimny Sierra. This, dare I say "cute", off-roading machine features a number of 1:1 scale details and rides atop Kyosho's new Mini-Z 4x4 chassis.
Using a ladder-frame chassis and four-link suspension setup, this tiny truck has the same visual appearance as a larger, 1/10 or 1/8-scale model. Powered by four AAA batteries, and a brushed motor, this small-scale crawler should have plenty of performance for indoor and outdoor adventures.
Packaged as a ready-to-run (RTR) model, the Kyosho Mini-Z Suzuki Jimny Sierra includes a 2.4GHz radio system, featuring Kyosho's KT531P transmitter. The only items you'll need before hitting the trail are 8 AAA batteries.
