1/42 Scale Drift package Nano! Really cool Micro Drifting RC.

Takara Tomy Drift Package Nano
Silvia Nissan S13

This little RC is practically drift anywhere. I can really enjoy drifting in small places. 
It is a 2.4 GHZ 100 mm length RC. It runs on a built in rechargeable 3.7v 50 mAh Li-ion 00 battery.
The controller requires 4 AA batteries and the unit charges right on the controller. The hard plastic tires are none replaceable. The body is interchangeable with five other models at the moment. It performs well on hard smooth flooring. You may find it difficult to control on bumpy surfaces or uneven surfaces. The design is really solid featuring a sturdy chassis and tuff removable body.

Pros. Charges in 20min! Great run time, compact and durable construction. Care free frequency hopping run more cars with friends. This is a charge and drive RC car.

Cons. No upgradable parts. Limited internal battery usage. Cannot be digital proportionally steered. Full left or full right only!

MR03 Pro Options Hop-Up andReview

Just released by Kyosho a 15th year Miini-Z anniversary kit.
Just having this Genre last this long is a real celebration. Let's continue to celebrate
micro racing with a VE powered Vortex Electric with an all new radio frequency MHS. What makes this edition special from the rest is the MHS new signal in addition to the ASF. Used in combination with the also newly released EX-6 transmitter, the response may increase 4~16 x faster. Do be warned power up at your own risk. But, if your experienced and looking for that extra edge on the track here's your new weapon. As usual Kyosho throws in a nice red anodized diff set and ball bearings to start you off. This time owners will also get a celebratory tin case, model secured in high impact foam.

This kit is well incased in the box. The body hasn't changed, just the electronics enabling high speed response. MHS band ensure precise quick driving inputs. This pro model is set up as an MM chassis
ready to go. Conversion parts are included for a narrow chassis.  I really like the all black wiring leads to the brushless motor.

I really wanted to make this a Ferrari FXX build but the oil damper friction plate got in the way so I decided to go with the Denso Kobelco Sard SC430 2012 body. Take a look!
