Hmm...honestly...it will be in the races coz the Mr02 is really quicker than the MR01 but some might continue to hold races in MR01 category...so am not really sure. But hey, we still use old MR01 motor pods on the new car don't we? But if you're worrying about hop ups, I think aftermarket manufacturers might stop the production for the old cars sometime next year or at least when the number of MR02 on the streets jump up considerably high

LeMans series? Cool! How do you count your laps? Do you have a transponder for the z already? Here at our LHC, we're finding it quite expensive and we're just counting on our counter to count our laps for us

I've been paying attention to how mini-z racing works in Japan and they have three classes as of now. Compact, gt300, and gt500. Compact is Vitz, bug, and fit. gt300 is every street car that doesn't have wide rears. gt500 is NSX, AMG, Ferraris - anything with wide rears. I suspect that the mr-02 is going to be a new class on top of those or in place of gt500. I believe that the mr-01 will continue to be made.
Yes that is true, soon I will be back to reality. I'm looking for something to allow me to come back for a longer stay though. At least a year hopefully.
I haven't been to any events yet but I'm hoping to go to some before I come home. I bought an Enzo as well but I haven't found a diff or any new mr-02 bodies yet (Kyosho or otherwise).
The store I bought the car at had all the new parts for the MR-02 but no ball diff and I couldn't understand what the guy said when I asked him about it.
Prices are actually quite cheap for Mini-zs here. I paid 13500 yen for mine which comes to about $115, the diff is about $25 too (of course I had to pay $800 to get here).
That's nice. I wonder when will our local LHC have original kyosho parts. GPM ball diff looks nice though but Kyosho's alot nicer. Did you notice...for the MR01...kyosho had 2 versions of the ball diff. They found some ways to improve it and released a sort of better looking diff than the GPM one

bobcat- i found the mr02 runs well even with stock diff. i tried to put an F1 ball diff on it and seems the length is good but the gear is too large in diameter that it interferes too much with the pinion.
i think i'm going to try transferring a sedan diff gear into an F1 diff and see if that works
you'll be glad you got that MR02. handling is phenomenal. you still may have to switch the tires cause the stock ones offer no traction.
we'll most likely run a separate class now. You'll make the fourth mr02 at TTs
The best thing about my mr-02 is that it came with channel 10.
I think it's a good idea to keep them separate. How did the mr-02 handle the glitching at TT's?
I've been using mine on the hardwood floor in my room and even with stock tires it gets sufficient traction. I can't wait to actually try it out with good tires on carpet.
Did all the mr-02s in the enduro use the Enzo bodies? I really hate the Enzo but I don't wanna sacrifice the mid-mount motor just for a new body.
Have you guys tried to put thick grease on the diff? I've use automotive grease. Its dark red and its very tacky. I think that would work fine. Just put it in the diff like how you'd usually lube it.

i forgot to mention that. none of us had any glitching problems what so ever. A big relief that the electronics was improved in this area.

mark and john used their enzo bodies. like you i don't like the body it comes with. reminds me of the Mach 5. Since i'm a Merc fan i ditched the Ferrari shell and fitted the new black AMG mercedes on there
i had to widen out the rear fenders like you did the focus but other than that the front adapter and side mounts work great on the 02 chassis. i'd show pics but i'm exeriencing problems downloading them in my album.
