Kyosho Mini-Z RWD MR-04 VW Beetle 1966 Readyset – Bahama Blue – 32374BBL

Finished in classic Bahama Blue, the highly detailed factory-finished body recreates the characteristic rounded shape of the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle. This particular model year introduced a larger 1.3-litre engine to the real car while retaining the timeless design that made the Beetle famous around the world.

Under the body is Kyosho’s MR-04N-MM2 rear-wheel-drive chassis with a 94 mm wheelbase. Compared with the previous MR-03 generation, the MR-04 positions the batteries lower in the chassis to reduce the centre of gravity, improving cornering stability and straight-line handling.

This version also uses the newer MZ719 front suspension, developed for zero-offset wheels. Revised front knuckles reduce scrub by 1.5 mm on each side compared with the MR-03, while the suspension dynamically adjusts camber through its movement to help maintain optimum tyre contact during cornering.

At the rear, a T-bar suspension works together with a coil spring damper to absorb small surface irregularities and maintain stable handling. The standard rear damper can also be upgraded with optional Mini-Z performance parts.

A geared differential provides smooth cornering, while full ball bearings throughout the drivetrain help minimise rotational resistance. Power comes from a user-friendly 130-class brushed motor, providing manageable hobby-grade performance for both newcomers and experienced Mini-Z drivers.

The chassis is compatible with the optional MZW711 gyro unit, which adds electronic steering assistance for improved stability. Gyro sensitivity can be adjusted directly on the chassis according to the track and driver’s preference.

The included Syncro KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter features steering and throttle trim, steering dual rate and Training Mode. Training Mode reduces vehicle speed, making the Mini-Z easier to control while learning.

The Volkswagen Beetle body is also compatible with the optional MZW429R LED light unit, allowing functional front and rear lighting to be added for even greater scale realism.

This Readyset includes the factory-assembled MR-04 chassis, fully painted VW Beetle 1966 Bahama Blue body and Syncro KT-531P transmitter. Simply add the required AAA batteries to start driving.
