I received my first Mini Z on Monday; I figured the PCB upgrade was a good time for me to venture into the Mini-Z world. As you can see below, it’s a standard stock MR-02 chassis, except it has the 2.4 GHz ASF brain on the inside. Ordered from Reflex Racing, I believe they are the only company offering this (or just a 2.4 GHz PCB) as of right now. This was perfect for me because I didn’t want to waste time/money on the older AM electronics (1 TX for Mini Z and Dnano, nice) and I wanted to be able to use all the great MR-02 upgrades and bodies already out there (not a huge fan of the Porsche LM body). I ordered some upgrades as well, including some Reflex Racing exclusive products: BP 1000 mah batts, SSG2WD tires, and an Avid bearing set.

Big thanks to the Reflex Racing staff namely Cristian and Joe (ruf). They even answered all my questions through email about specific upgrade parts. Great service, unique products, informative articles, deal on shipping, Mini-Z specialty - check them out.

Does everybody else think the pricing is backwards? Meaning, the transmitter was cheaper than the car its self. I would have thought the transmitter be the more expensive part as you only need one. Then collect the car's at a cheaper price. I've noticed some where that you can purchase 2.4GHZ PCB upgrades for the older car's as well. Worth doing?

Here's mine with some new shoes. Perfect fit, and go well with the gold trim on the paint scheme. Let me know what you think.



Only issue with these wheels versus the stock wheels, is they tend to raise the car a bit, so will need to lower it later. These wheels really stand out and will look different than the other 962's on the track.

New whip.





Sidenote: PN's knuckles don't play well with any kingpins lol.

Supposed to be running a sp8m4'ed w/ a TSM 33t, but the board decided to part with the servo during shipping, so I'm running a stocker asf wit a 43t for now. Looks like the pot wants to part as well as the wires are hanging on by threads...



It is from a conversion set... all the chassis sets I bought had nothing like this and are pretty sturdy (wirewise) so be careful with those conversion sets...

Does that right fet look ok guys?

Your picture's are a bit small and you can't click on theme to enlarge. Can you resize perhaps? Does PN Have their own kingpins? That might work better if they do.
