Oh boy... Hopefully the upgrade package won't cost more than a current Readyset! So now we're gonna have brushed and brushless classes? (I vote, Mod/Brushless, Stock/Brushed) Hope to see some screw holes in the end of that can before final release!
All that said... Ultra freekin sweet! Next step... Lipos!

Mini-Z Racer MR-03 VE Brushless!!!
Information was just released about a new Mini-Z Racer MR-03 VE Brushless model expected to be released in January this year. It's been a long-term goal for Kyosho to release a brushless powered Mini-Z, but the brushless technology is only just becoming available from sister company Team Orion. The trick was to incorporate the brushless electronics on the main circuit board, which also controls the radio functions. Also, driveability is paramount when this much power is on tap. There's not a lot of information available at the moment, but the system is installed in an MR-03 chassis that will come with a ball differential as standard equipment. Stay tuned for more info as we get it.

hmm... performance wise... is there a significant gain between their current life batts and lipos? what are the pros / cons of each (sorry if this is a newbie question as i have zero experience with either)
Aaaawwwwww freakin sweet. Of coarse it would if 1. They do make the motor with drilled can so you can use it with aftermarket motor mounts 2. Sell just the electronics and motor by themselves if that means any saving at all and 3. Have a couple different motors like one stock class motor and mod class motor. Also since team Orion is involved does this mean they make the whole pcb so you have to use a different 2.4ghz system or is it just a piggyback esc that connects to the existing board? Awesome either way.
Was kinda thinking it would have been a smaller brushless too, that way they could possibly re-invent some chassis geometries and give us some independent suspension action for the rears.
I don't know, but that on-road conversion for the buggy, coupled with one of these setups seems like the perfect blend for putting the power down!

Due to the fact that most tracks I can race on, I don't need Life or Lipo. Since the tracks are not wider or longer than what my 33T MR-03 can handle.
It seems like I will fail bad if I get a even faster car.
But I do like lower weight, less maintenance, better efficiency and cooler.

Wow, this is a big development for Mini-Z's! But, I'm not surprised by the outcome. Brushless motors are very popular in RC helicopters where we want the extra power and efficiency. I had the feeling it was only a matter of time before we start seeing brushless motors in these Mini's.
By the way Kyosho, I'm still waiting on my AWD Dnano!
