Equipped with MR-03 front suspension in addition to DWS!
Evolutionary jump in MA-020 chassis design realizes a new level of MINI-Z AWD performance.
With the precision control characteristics of the shaft drive AWD, the MINI-Z AWD has captured the imagination of micro racing fans around the world. Now with the MA-020 chassis, performance has evolved to an even higher level. Compatible with nearly all MINI-Z bodies, the incorporation of the MR-03 front suspension structure minimizes change to the driving characteristics when wide tread setting is used. For example, wheel off set was used for wide tread bodies, but on the 020 chassis this can be achieved by changing the suspension arm and swing shaft, which minimizes excessive change to the scrub radius and dramatically lifts cornering performance. One of the key features of the MR-03 chassis is ‘VCS’ (variable camber suspension) that optimizes camber change in concert with suspension stroke for effective grip and traction. The proven rear DWS (double wishbone suspension) is standard and combines with the revitalized front suspension to achieve free and precise control. The gyro, previously only available as an optional upgrade, is included as well. While appreciating the performance of grip tires, a set of drift tires is also included for a totally different driving experience. The receiver unit is equipped with RA-23T/FET featuring Chase Mode function. Chase Mode can be set so the overtake button can only be used a certain number of times per model (optional No.82080/I.C.S. USB adapter and computer are required). This allows you to apply a handicapping system by restricting the number of speed bursts each car can use, allowing beginners to compete on a more even footing with experienced drivers. Of course this model also works with the previous ASF 2.4GHz 2-channel transmitter for the MINI-Z Racer. As this set is packaged without transmitter, it is ideal for existing owners of ASF 2.4GHz MINI-Z Racers and makes an economical 2nd or even 3rd addition to your MINI-Z model lineup. The MA-020 chassis combines new front suspension with a DWS unit to deliver a new standard in AWD touring cars for you to experience. Revised front suspension. 020 chassis takes an evolutionary step with DWS installed on rear as standard. Incorporates the proven front suspension of the MR-03. Maintains excellent controllability, even with change in tread. Also equipped with VCS. Features down stop mechanism, ball connect suspension shaft and friction shock with damping force adjusted by grease as standard. Features 2.4GHz RA-23T circuit board that requires no frequency band selection. Overtake function of Chase Mode turns up the heat in racing. Optional gyro unit can be installed. Detects running posture changes and automatically corrects with steering and throttle. Includes drift tires in addition to pre-installed grip tires. Feature packed set delivers different driving experiences from a single car. Install the optional scramble flasher that flashes to indicate when overtake mode is activated, lights up when it’s available to use and goes out when it is not available.
