A Flag Ship of RC Ferrari

The Ferrari is one of the most recognized cars in the world. That is why even in the RC world it is a flagship car brand to be licensed for production. Mini-Z 1/27^th scale micro racing has been around since 1999 enjoyed by many fans around the world. Although RC sports are an exciting hobby, there tends to be slow downs by consumers that lead many companies to suffer. Just like X-Mods by Radio Shack that is no longer in production Mini-Z also faced a slowdown in the market for their product. Luckily Kyosho is a major player when it comes to remote control cars. Kyosho did the right thing when they decided to release a revamped MR03 chassis boasting the first micro VE power brushless motor to hit their micro sport.  Nonetheless what was chosen to accompany this new kit was the Ferrari 458 GT2. Talk about knowing how to inject enthusiasm back into the product.  This decision caused mass anticipation with many experienced and new hobbyist.  This late December 2012 release did not disappoint! It is accurately detailed and painted.
