Kyosho MR-03 Mini-Z RWD ReadySet w/Corvette ZR1 Body (Gray Metallic)
Kyosho Mini-Z 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

A review from a first time buyer.

If you're a first time RC buyer, this is the kit you need. It's ready to use all you need is 8 AAA batteries (4 for the remote and 4 for the car itself (I personally recommend eneloop pros)) and you're set. The remote control is set to training mode which lowers the top speed, but you could easily turn this off using the provided manual. I highly recommend you read the manual as there's a ton of good information that's inside in regards to car maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting.

The Corvette ZR1 body is well made and finely detailed. This particular colour is Metallic Grey which looks wonderful with the black accents and grey tiny windows. The pre-installed LED's give a nice touch to this car and provides sufficient lighting for night driving. The rear spoiler is well set, but I've seen some people suggest hot glueing/super glueing it for reinforcement. I don't see it as necessary however you are more then welcome to do so as long as you're careful.

The powerhouse of this car is the Kyosho MR-03, and so far I've been quite pleased with it. The turning radius is quite wide and the steering is quick however it can be a bit sensitive at times. Due to this the car tends to oversteer at times (results may vary upon preferences/experience). If you're buying this to play around with then you could keep it as is, however if you're interested in racing this or want tighter controls I highly recommend the Kyosho Gyro Module. It cuts back on oversteer and provides steering assistance, but a draw back is that the turning radius is lowered (this draw back could be remedied by calibrating the car to your liking).

All in all this is a car I would highly recommend for people wanting to dip their toes into RC cars. The finely detailed body and the well made chassis and "engine" is superb and will last for some time. I do not regret my purchase at all and am glad I chose this as my first pro RC car.
