New Mini Z.......Ferrari 612

Looks good! A buddy of mine has a Mini-Z...pretty fun little car. I was always a fan of the larger R/Cs, though. Something like the Mini-Z either needs a *really* smooth surface to run outside, or should be an indoors-only kind of thing IMO. That said, I doubt it'd go very well on a fully carpeted floorplan...

 

They look good but perform awful. As mentioned a good indoor car but range and straight line drive are huge problems. I have the F2002 version with a spare body kit because they are very fragile ( already busted up the nose of two despite the awful looking nose bumper bracket. Car's range is very limited and on one occasion it actually just kept going straight and pretty much expolded as it ran into the wheel of a real Ferrari. ) Best thing with this type of Kyosho product is to bust it out for 2 minutes of show for your kids. Larger RC scale? I agree, much more options to actually use them for what they are made for, driving. I have both a Kyosho Enzo, 1/10th scale I believe, as well as a Carisma ( sp? not sure of, ) Enzo and both peform 100 times better. After washing the real Ferrari, I always get a kick of racing my RC cars around it on the soapy pavement. The Mini Z never really made it and even in the dry would spin like crazy. As for looks the mini-Z line is pretty good but performance wise very poor.
