Mini-Z Moto Racer

I believe the text mentions a 3ch transmitter.
1/18th scale. If this thing makes a "Hang On Rider" available that leans with the bike I'm going to go nuts for it!


Blog post for any of those that can read the text and perhaps explain more.

So this rumor video may actually have been the Kyosho Motorcycle.

So probably April for the US then. I'm a bit shocked at the level of detail.

at 1:18, is this the same as the hang on racer? if so, why brand it with mini-z?

I believe the Hang On Racer was 1:8. This thing is significantly smaller so I'm guessing that is why they went with the mini-z line.

ok, thanks.

it's cool and all but honestly, i'd rather pick up the buggy which can likely be run on more surfaces. i'll end up with a bike i'm sure but i doubt it would get used much if at all. bikes are such a niche market, even more so than buggies. and with pricing where it is with kyosho, it's likely going to be in the same price range as dnano/buggy.
i see lots of interest for these but i have doubts it will translate to sales. this is already the case with the buggy sadly.

Good find. I'd have to agree with you.

Then I can't wait to see what it'll really look like.

Long ago I wished someone would make a 1/18th scale bike and lo and behold it has happened!

I'm preordering. I have a gpv-1 but its too big for inside, and too small for most outside areas.

If you have not ever driven one, it takes a few minutes to get the basic hang of it, but its just fun alone keeping it going. Motorcycles are like the Helicopters of the rc vehicles as far as skill.

Love the "ehhh.... No no no no" at the end of the video. You'd think that little bike was some kind of pop star walking to a car drunk the way the guy shot blocks the camera at the end.

Only reason I doubt the authenticity is the fact that the guy has a stick controller as opposed to a KT or a Helios.

Also looks like a secret weapon from a rogue nation
In the description in japanese it is said it will need a 3 channel radio so no KT18... Also a special purpose gyro is what makes it so stable.

It should still be a KO radio. Doesn't look like one to me, but I'm not to up on stick radios. I can't wait to hear Kyosho release some information. I hope I can run it with my EX1, or else, it may be out of the question for me, and some of my fellow racers.
