Just came across this... From kyosho blog - from Ishikawa 12/03/17 (via google translate) from Here

Hello Ishikawa.

Everyone who waits for MINI - Z FWD information, I kept you waiting very much.

Last weekend test drive meeting started at MINI-Z service station !!

I think that some people already experienced a unique front movement,

From Saturday, December 2nd to Sunday 24th (Sunday)

You can experience maneuvering at your nearby Minute Station.

The store holding the test ride can be checked here !

By all means, please take this opportunity to experience the driving of MINI-Z FWD.



By the way, who saw the first image and thought "Why Beetle!?"

I'm sorry that it is not Demio m (. _.) M



Demio is currently producing it at a secret factory,

I could not finish just 30 pieces first.

This time, it will be a test ride of the FWD chassis combining the Beetle.

Please note.



To the numerous bodies that have been lineuped to Minutes in the past,

Originally, front wheel drive chassis is quite suitable.

Vitz and fit, golf, etc.

FWD chassis can adjust the wheelbase,

You can also enjoy it in combination with these bodies.

Since VW Beetle will be sold until this winter,

For those who like it, please consider purchasing along with FWD chassis on this occasion.



Although it is the running characteristic of the FWD chassis, depending on the grip level of the road surface

It can reproduce the same movement as a real car called tack-in peculiar to the front wheel drive car.



If you pull the throttle all at once in a steady state,

It is a technique to slide the rear grip coming off quickly,

For beginners it may be difficult to navigate.

In such a case, change the rear tire to 20 degrees,

Please change the rear tie rod to "C" of MDW003 and increase the toe-in.

(It is information for the store manager of Minutes Station.)

The tuck-in is reduced, and navigation is easy movement like this video.

Finally, we apologize to everyone.

Problem occurred in the production line at the mini secret factory,

MINI-Z FWD Toyota Prius PHV

Honda NSX of MINI-Z RWD

Readyset, Autoscale Collection, and white body shipments related to these two models

I found that it was delayed greatly.

Everyone who is looking forward to release, I am really sorry.

As soon as production is ready, we will announce the release date again.



Regarding MIMI-Z FWD's Demio,

I am doing my best to be delivered to you by Christmas.

We appreciate your understanding and we appreciate your understanding.



Today's responsible person was Ishikawa.
