Innovative Drive Mechanism for Realistic Control
At the heart of this MINI-Z model is the "New Real Drive Mechanism," which provides full functionality in all directions—front, rear, left, and right. This feature allows drivers to experience a realistic driving sensation, akin to steering a real vehicle. The responsive control system adjusts to your inputs, offering wide turns with slight steering wheel adjustments or sharp maneuvers with more aggressive inputs. Similarly, the throttle trigger mimics an accelerator, letting you modulate speed with precision.
Dual-Speed Modes for Versatile Driving
This model features a convenient mode-switching capability, allowing you to toggle between training mode and racing mode effortlessly. Training mode limits the car to 7 km/h, ideal for learning and cautious driving. Once you're comfortable, switch to racing mode at 10 km/h for a thrilling, high-speed experience. This adaptability makes it perfect for both new drivers and those looking to refine their skills.
Home Racing Experience with Digital Stopwatch
Enhance your racing experience at home with the included digital controller, featuring a stopwatch function capable of timing up to 99.99 seconds. Set up a course using the six mini pylons provided and challenge yourself with time attacks. The 2.4GHz radio system supports simultaneous operation of up to 12 cars, allowing for competitive racing with friends.
The Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, produced from 1983 to 1987, remains a beloved icon in the automotive world. Its participation in numerous races and drift events has solidified its status as a cult favorite among young car enthusiasts. The RC model replicates this legacy, with functioning headlights and taillights that illuminate during throttle application, adding to its authenticity.
