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.

 

The advanced design of the Mini-Z AWD incorporates four wheel independent suspension and a shaft driven 4WD featuring precision differential gears on front and rear controlled by the pre-installed ASF 2.4GHz unit, and is small enough to fit on the palm of your hand! The one-piece RA-23T receiver-amp unit features a Chase Mode that turbo-boosts the excitement of R/C racing. When used with a compatible 3-channel transmitter (sold separately), the Chase Mode acts as a power limiter to restrict output to 70% of full throttle. However, when the opportunity presents itself, push the 3rd button and output is instantaneously increased to 100% for a 3-second burst of speed. Inspired by the boost button on full-size formula racing machines, this new feature dramatically increases the intensity of racing action! Restricting the maximum speed actually allows better driving lines and supports easier control, but once the overtake button is pushed, the machine surges forward like a tiger in attack! However once you’re in front, you become the hunted. The lead can change numerous times during a race with much more overtaking, adding greater excitement to your racing battles. Also, the Chase mode can be set so the overtake button can only be used a certain number of times per machine (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 more experienced drivers. Of course, the ASF 2.4GHz 2-channel transmitter for the MINI-Z Racer can be used and the optional gyro can be installed inside the upper cover. As it evaluates the running posture of the model it automatically corrects the steering and throttle for smoother control making it easier to drive, especially for beginners and drift drivers. As this set is packaged without transmitter, it is ideal for existing owners of an ASF 2.4GHz MINI-Z Racer, making it economical as a 2nd or even 3rd model. The advanced AWD chassis and the blistering acceleration from the Chase Mode produce highly addictive levels of excitement and racing action.

Revised front suspension. 020 chassis takes an evolutionary step with DWS installed on rear as standard.

About the Chase mode function.

“Chase mode” functions to limit power output to 70% of full throttle. When the moment comes to attack, a push of the 3rd channel button on the transmitter increases power output to 100% for 3-second burst of speed. This enables greater driving control and also adds the excitement of overtaking duels so drivers can enjoy nose to tail racing battles. Also, the number of power boosts can be set to apply a handicapping system to level the playing field for drivers of different experience levels. At the time of shipment, the overtake function is set to a maximum of 5 times per race.

How to activate the Chase mode
At the time of shipment, the MR-03 with Chase mode is set with its standard 100% power output setting. The Chase mode is activated simply by pressing and holding down the pairing button.
How does the Chase mode Handicap System Work?
The number of 3-second Chase mode speed bursts of 100% power output that can be used is able to be limited for each race. Depending on the driver’s skill level, the number of Chase mode speed bursts can be set higher or lower, and therefore apply a handicapping system for the race. Drivers of any skill or confidence level can compete effectively and enjoy racing with this handicap system.
(Requires optional No.82080/I.C.S. USB adapter and PC to change handicap settings).

< Number of speed bursts for each Handicap Classes >
●Chase mode Legend 1 times
●Chase mode Champ 3 times
●No Handicap 5 times
●Handicap +1 6 times
●Handicap +2 7 times
●Handicap +3 8 times
●Handicap +4 9 times
●Handicap +5 10 times
●Handicap +6 15 times
●Handicap +MAX 250 times
 
Counting Range
The number of speed bursts in Chase mode is counted from when the chassis power is switched on until it is switched off. Each time the chassis power is switched on, the number of speed bursts enabled is reset allowing the handicap to be applied at the start of each race.

No crystals needed! 2.4GHz system blocks interference.

Using 2.4GHz frequency, the transmitter and chassis automatically lock on to open bands with the 2.4GHz ASF system. Realizes a stable environment without interference so you can have confidence in your radio system's response. Allows up to 40 cars to be raced at the same time. Simple pairing process (registering transmitter with the chassis) also enables a single transmitter to be used with multiple chassis. The next generation of proportional radio control systems starts here.
