Life is Jimny
The Jimny Sierra’s popularity is earned through a commitment to functionality and performance. This 1:18-scale MINI-Z 4×4 Readyset accurately recreates the signature features of this very popular compact Japanese 4X4 truck, like the unique square body shape and the bold wheel flares over the generous wheel wells.
The combination of the highly-detailed body and a completely new 4×4 chassis design opens up new levels of performance, well beyond anything RC enthusiasts have ever seen from a mini crawler.
In 2019 the world’s most popular mini RC series, known as the Kyosho MINI-Z, celebrated more than 20 years of unmatched performance and scale realism in the hobby-grade RC category. The continuous pursuit of performance and evolution has led to the creation of a completely-new ‘MINI-Z 4×4’ design that delivers an all-new driving experience for RC fans of all stripes, with superior overall design, driving performance and high-quality injection-molded scale body construction. A significant feature of the MINI-Z 4×4 series is the greater emphasis of body detail and quality of finish that even surpasses existing benchmarks set by the MINI-Z. The body is also molded with thicker material to better resist crash damage from operation in rough terrain. Incorporating the same ladder- style frame of real 4WD vehicles, the MINI-Z 4×4 boasts a 3-link rigid axle suspension combining what would normally be two upper links into a single upper A-arm to deliver maximum suspension movement. A specially designed high-torque steering servo enables this machine to throw its elbows around in the hard terrain for excellent performance in the toughest rock-crawler conditions. The high-torque 130-size motor brings out the beast in the MINI-Z 4×4, specially geared to run well in the low to medium speed ranges common in crawling.
Designed to balance exquisite style, scale detail and superior driving performance, all the MINI-Z 4×4 needs is 8 x AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately). Enjoy driving under any conditions, from normal driving to rock crawling while appreciating the stunning visual appearance. The Kyosho Mini-Z 4×4 is the only mini crawler that delivers a full range of crawling performance in a smaller package.

Injection molded bodies enhanced with accessory parts recreate a level of detail in the MINI-Z 4×4 series that surpasses all MINI-Z bodies that have come before.
Painted Body
The factory-painted body has so much detail it rivals that of a die cast model. Thicker body material provides more durability, enabling it to survive more aggressive off-road runs. Door mirrors are produced with a combination of gloss and matte finishes, while wipers, windshield washers, rain rails and door hinges add even more realistic details.
Front Face
The unique styling of the Jimny is recreated with the signature five-slot front grille, round headlights that can be fitted with optional LEDs(MZW429R), and turn signal lights and driving lights that add even more detail to these already very scale trucks.
Over Fender
Jimny Sierra’s over fender is accurately reproduced with a black matte finish.
Rear
The hinged rear door design of the actual Jimny has an element of function in addition to its convenience. The vertical glass makes it difficult for snow to accumulate, and it also features a spare tire with a wheel cover accessory. All details faithfully reproduced on the 4WD Mini-Z Jimny.
Body Mount
A newly-designed one-touch body mounting system is used instead of the mounts commonly used on all previous Mini-Z cars and trucks. The new system uses spring-wire retainers to quickly and easily install and remove the body.
The same ladder frame and multi-link rigid-axle suspension commonly used in popular 1:10-scale off-road models, is condensed into Mini-Z size for the most articulation and performance available in any mini RC truck.
Ladder Frame
The Mini-Z 4×4 incorporates a ladder frame design with steel vertical plates, in combination with various molded parts, to deliver the ultimate balance of of rigidity and flex for superior performance and durability.
Solid Axles
Solid front and rear axles feature links with steel rods and captured rod ends. Ring and pinion gears, in addition to other gears and components, feature metal construction to withstand the heavy loads under the toughest driving conditions.
The upper A-arms and lower links that connect the front and rear axles to the chassis, feature strong steel links and captured ball ends. This is the ideal design for strength, maximum range of motion, and smooth operation.
Adjustable Wheelbase
The wheelbase can be changed to 110 or 120mm by changing the length of the spacer on the upper A-link. The Jimny, for example, is set to 120mm.
Coil Over Type, Shock Absorber
The newly designed shock absorbers feature 360-degree spring retainers, which means they can’t be lost on the trail and the springs are more likely to re-seat when the suspension settles after hard impacts or operating at the extreme limits of the suspension. The spring retainers
Steering Angle
The front axle features ideal Ackermann geometry. Combined with the advanced design of the axle housing and the other steering components, This model features the tightest turning radius in Mini-Z history. It means the Mini-Z 4×4 has exceptional handling capability for anything ranging from casual driving to hard-core crawling.
Drag Link & Tie Rod
The steering servo drag link and the rugged molded tie rod are part of a steering system that delivers an incredible amount of steering angle, which results in excellent rock crawling capability.
Tires & Wheels
Tires and wheels that are specific to each model are a major focus of the Mini-Z 4×4. This model features a scale reproduction of the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires mounted on Suzuki factory-replica wheels with an aluminum-like silver finish.
Battery Tray
Four AAA batteries are located on top-front section of the chassis to ensure good ground clearance and achieve realistic rock crawler performance.
Gearbox And Gears
The gearbox features molded covers and includes 6 pinion gears that allow adjustment from ultra-low gearing for steep terrain, through to high-speed gearing for smooth running on flat roads. In addition, the need for annoying backlash adjustments has been negated with the special spacer mounted on the outside of the motor.
Slipper Clutch
A standard slipper clutch protects the drive system by reducing the torque when excessive load is applied. Note the metal upper shaft and primary gear for durability.
18 Full Ball Bearing Specifications
The best drive efficiency is accomplished with the included set of 18 ball bearings, factory installed to ensure the smoothest most efficient operation possible, right out of the box.
130 Motor
The Mini-Z 4×4 features a specially-designed high-torque motor that is unique in the Mini-Z World. It’s optimized for maximum torque, and it develops more power at lower speeds.
New Speed Controller
The on-board electronics are also unique to the Mini-Z 4×4, with special features that improve the crawling experience. The accessory ports on top of the board allow an optional gyro (MZW431) and an optional LED light set (MZW429R) to be easily plugged in to enhance performance and realism.
Steering Servo
The component steering servo features its own casing to allow enhanced performance, and it connects to the receiver/ESC with an independent connector.
Included KT-531P transmitter operates on FHSS 2.4GHz and features steering/throttle trim in addition to dual-rate adjustment of steering angle and LED control functions. Control feel has improved with adoption of sponge steering wheel. Gyro effect can be fine-tuned through volume adjustment.
*Not compatible with conventional ASF/MHS/FHS 2.4GHz systems. Also not compatible with KO I.C.S systems.
