Which Mini to get? MR-02 speical edtion?

[pekopeeus]

Hello guys, I am new here.

I haven't r/c for a year, I kinda miss it. I had a kyosho RRR. ( i love that thing ) but the track is no longer available. So I sold it. I never had a mini z in my life! I went to my LHS yesterday I am thinking to pick up one mini z. There's a mini z track and I see lots of people racing mini z. I have no clue which one to get. The guy at the shop told me to get the MR-02 ENZO one ( 30% more capacity )
Obviously that one is more expensive. Or should I just get the regular MR-02? Oh and I really want a mini z overland and monster! They all look cute. Which one should I get?

I just surfed ebay and I see there's a speical edition for the monster.

It's hard to go wrong with an MR-02 MM Enzo. A lot of racers use these. If you can get one with the 3010 FETs, then all the better. I just upgraded my MR-02 with the 3010 FETs for the "How Fast Are You - Online Point Series" and it is so much faster.

NOTE: that the i-Series Mini-Zs use electronics that aren't as good the standard Mini-Zs. Personally I'd recommend sticking with the standard Mini-Zs for racing.

If I were starting out today for racing Mini-Zs I'd get one of the following Ready Sets (again I wouldn't get an I-Series):

Enzo
McLaren F1
Lamborghini Murcielago
Ford GT
Mercedes SLR McLaren

If I already had a 27Mhz AM Transmitter I could use with a Mini-Z a I'd get:

Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 RC Chassis Set (3010 FETs)

Kyosho Mini-Z Enzo Ferrari MR-02 MM White Body

and all of the other necessary upgrades:
Good NiMH AAA Batteries
Good AAA Charger
Tires (I personally use the Kyosho Radial Tires 20-degree)
Bearings (the Mini-ZRacer.com Dry Race Bearings are the best)

As far as the Overland and Monster Mini-Zs they look like fun but personally I don't have experience with them.

hmmm

I think I'll get the MR-02 Enzo one. I think i can work something out with the boss without getting the stock radio. I looked at it today it looks quite cheezy.


Kyosho Mini-Z MR-02 RC Chassis Set (3010 FETs) Is this chassis the same as the ready set? Or it's better?

It is the same thing without the body/Autoscale and controller.

I guess it's this then. They're all FET+30%?

Only the latest ones have the 3010 FETS (+30% capacity). Double check to make sure it does. I think the Kyosho part number is 30450F-B.
