No, unless it is very freshly paved and clean and they did one heck of a job on it. You might be better off getting a 1/18 car such as a Micro RS4 or Xray M18.

Maybe if it's very level. Mini-Z's bottom out very easily so any bumps will cause the car to bottom out and spin out. My experience on anything other than foam mats has been less than successful. I've even run on a warehouse concrete floor that wasn't smooth enough.

the ground clearance of mr2 is very small, especially at the diff, the diff protection plate is so close to the ground that there is nearly no ground clearance.
i removed that part on the first day of running my mr02. but this will leave your diff more exposed , ( but i think that doesn't matter, i can't think of anyway that the spur gears can break.)

well, i agree that new asphalt is preferred... i drive mine in the street all the time though with less than perfect street conditions. i get alot of bumps, hops etc but it's fun regardless. i love watching it zoom full speed until it becomes a tiny dot and then run it all the way back :p can't do that with other similar scale rc's
