SOLD: Ultimate MR03 RTR competition package MR-03 Kyosho

1. Name - Adam
2. Location - Rochester, NY
3. Contact – ajbenfante@yahoo.com
4. Description - See below
5. Price - $600 shipped CONUS (all others additional charge)

I have been racing indoor electric RC for almost 3 years. March 2010 a friend got me into Mini-Z’s at the time the MR03 was being introduced to the public. I raced occasionaly on weekends and if I had to guess, this car has about 40 races total on the stock chassis and even less on the upgraded parts/motor/batteries...etc. This has only been adult owned and driven. Maintained extremely well and always cleaned after each use with air copmpressor and soft cloth. I was very meticulous about re-greasing the differential every month, lubing the disc damper, kingpins and motor pinion before each race event. I hand polished the kingpins and upper steel suspension arm rods to obtain an extremely smooth and fluid-like front suspension. I also replaced the stock FET’s (4) with some high-end Fairchild 4562 FET’s. I choose not to stack the FET’s as the motor/pinion combo I am using (Atomic Stock R/Delrin Pinion 8T or 9T) is stupid fast and did not need additional FET’s to gain performance. I race with other friends who also own and maintain upgraded MR03’s and I can attest that my car is the most consistent with lap times and performance. Throughout my racing I purchased parts that are shown in the pics and listed below. Most parts were used very little as I attempted to fine tune the Mini-Z to my racing style which meant some parts only saw a few laps before I replaced them with other parts to "dial-in" on my driving style preferences. I can assure the next owner that this MR03 is race ready and setup like the pros for whatever track you can throw at it. With the wide array of parts that come with the sale you will be able to fine tune this MR03 to your driving style without spending another dime as I have almost every necessary upgrade option currently available. To top it off I have a custom made carry case for the MR03, parts and transmitter. Arrive in style to your next event and turn some heads. I am selling because I no longer have time to meet at the indoor track on the weekends with my racing friends. I am a new proud parent and to pull myself away from my newborn son for racing is not something I like to do. Rather than allow this RTR package to collect dust I have decided to sell it.
