I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit to being psyched about the release of the Kyosho Mini-z Moto. The perfect storm is about to hit this upcoming weekend. We have Mini-z racing scheduled both Saturday AND Sunday in the Chicago land area and are expecting motorcycles in hobby shops the end of this week . The Chicago Mini [...]

PN Racing has announced they will be releasing a Mini-z Monster sized wheel for the Mini-Z Buggy that requires no adapter. There will also be a new tire and insert. It will be compatible with the original Mini-Z Monster truck tires. I’m digging the thought of a Mini-Z sized Stampede 4×4. I’m not sure how I’ll mount the bodies so [...]
The Big Squid crew has some exclusive test footage of the new competitor to the Kyosho Mini-z, the Warrior 1:28 AWD racing chassis. I was lucky enough to receive a test unit and have received permission share the video publicly. Enjoy!
Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
Those who get into Mini-z racing come to understand there are a LOT of options for tuning their cars. When I visit the local hobby shops the first questions are almost always “I want to buy upgrades for my car, what should I get first?”. Reflex Racing now answers that question with these Reflex Team Packages and back it up with [...]

I picked up my personal Kyosho F1 this Saturday during a race at HobbyTown USA in Orland Park, IL. The first impressions by all the Mini-z regulars were how awesome the car looked. The scale looks are very impressive in person. The car comes packed with a clear [...]

We have the Pearl Green Lamborghini Murcirlago LP670-4 SV – Link White Ferrari 599XX – Link and limited release of the Keihin HSV-010.

Kyosho’s next body set for the new MF-015 Mini-Z F1 chassis is the Ferrari F10 platform. Cars NO. 7 and No.8. So now the two McLarens and these two Ferrari’s and we’ve got 4 of the new F1 cars ready for some racing! Kyosho tends to do a lot with Red Bull licensing so I’m hoping the Red Bull [...]
Kyosho has updated their Mini-Z F1 with the new MF-015 chassis. These are expected to see US soil Jan. 20th with shipments going out to dealers shortly afterwards. The first two will be based on the McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 Vodaphone #1 and #2 car. This is an ASF (Auto Select Frequency) 2.4ghz chassis that you pair to an existing 2.4ghz [...]
Ok, we are still going to fill this under rumor because there has not been an official announcement yet, BUT word on the street is that Kyosho has a 1/18 scale Mini-Z Motorcycle (moto racer) in the works! A few details: It’s about 4 inches long, will come with 2.4ghz radio, Lipo battery, top speed about 12mph, and ships around [...]
It looks like Kyosho has been working hard recently! These new four wheel drive 1/24th scale Mini-Z Buggies are scale lookalikes of their 1/10th scale counterparts, and come with or without a 2.4ghz radio to allow current Mini-Z owners to use their own radios. Both buggies run on AA’s, are four wheel drive and have oil filled shocks too. Kyosho also include [...]
