Don't forget 2.4 asf overland and monster.

Or 2.4 asf mr-01

Or mf-015 f1

Or ad band mr-02

I would suggest adding the product codes to the listing.

I thought the MR01 was released in 1999? At least that is what the wikipedia entry has it at.

I do think the Palm Runner came first, then the MR01.

MF-015 = mini-z f1 2.4 asf with tiki tiki

to my recollection, not in chronological order mind you;
Mini-Z Racer MR-01
Mini-Z Racer MR-01F
Mini-Z Racer MR-01 2.4asf

Mini-Z F1 MF-010
Mini-Z F1 MF-010 2.4asf
Mini-Z F1 MF-010 2.4 asf tiki tiki

Mini-Z Monster MM-01
Mini-Z Monster MM-01 2.4asf

Mini-Z Overland MV-01
Mini-Z Overland MV-01 2.4asf

Mini-Z Racer MR-02
Mini-Z Racer MR-02LM
Mini-Z Racer MR-02 ad-band
Mini-Z Racer MR-02 i-series
Mini-Z Racer MR-02 2.4asf
Mini-Z Racer MR-02 2.4asf tiki tiki
Mini-Z Racer MR-02LM 2.4asf tiki tiki

Mini-Z Racer MR-015
Mini-Z Racer MR-015 ad-band
Mini-Z Racer MR-015 i-series
Mini-Z Racer MR-015 2.4asf

Mini-Z AWD MA-010
Mini-Z AWD MA-010 2.4asf
Mini-Z AWD MA-015 2.4asf tiki tiki

Mini-Z Lit ML-010

Mini-Z Moto Racer MC-01

Mini-Z Buggy MB-010

Formula Boat/Catamaran Boat

dNaNo FX-101

not to nit pick the wiki page but i believe the term mr-015 was used in japan back in 2003 to describe those with the mr-02 enzo (only car available at launch) that wanted to run mr-01 bodies and or mr-01 with mr-02 rear end. i don't recall anyone in the US being the first to use this term. at the time there were easily double the number of mini-z forums as well which makes it harder to pinpoint it's first usage.
i also know that mzr release an mr-01.5 h plate very early on as well (2003?).

mr-02 released in 2003?

awd was launched in 2005?

mr-015 launched in 2005?

boat launched in 2005?

overland/monster launched in 2003?

LM series launched in 2005?

They have or had an MR-01 asf. 2.4ghz? I would like to aquire one. The palm runners were first then mini z's in 1999. Then F-1, overland and monsters in 2002. MR02 in 2003. MR015 in 2005 and AWD in 2006 and the rest is a blur.

About to convert an 01 to 2.4 myself... No idea why other than to see what I can get it to do!

I only consider the Palm Runner in the Z lineage because it used Autoscales. Almost like the Neanderthal of the Mini-Z evolution.

Didn't the Monster come out a bit after the MR02?... this is going to be an incredibly tough job gathering all of this info. Kyosho should have all of their release dates recorded, hope someone there can chime in!

Maybe their is a way to track it via some government importation database. I would think they'd have to know what someone was importing via model number. Then again... usually easier to get blood from a stone when it comes to government databases!

I don't count sp chassis releases as separates myself. There just upgrade kits. If you go that route, you would have to track the overland and monster sp kits, f1 sp kits, dnano sp kits, and on and on and on
