Chevrolet Corvette C8.R Mini-Z Overview
Enjoy the full experience of high-performance RC car racing right out of the box; just insert batteries into the car and transmitter! This is the simplicity of Kyosho Ready-To-Run packages. The small scale of the MINI-Z Racer is ideal for driving indoors and for people just becoming familiar with RC cars. This MINI-Z RWD RTR includes a renewed 2-wheel drive chassis at its core. Previous Readyset packages incorporated the 3rd generation MR-03 chassis, but the RWD RTR includes the 4th generation MR-04 chassis that was first released in 2023. While retaining some basic elements of the MR-03 design, the MR-04 demonstrated its lower center of gravity and remodeled steering design with blistering speed and excellent handling in the top-of-the-line EVO2 debut model. The MR-04 chassis is mounted with an RC system and features a completed body finished to display model standard. This Ready-To-Run includes the same standard MR-04 chassis as other high-end MR-04 models and includes user-friendly 130-class brushed motor and the reliable Syncro KT-531P pistol grip transmitter. Just insert 4 x AAA batteries into both the car and the transmitter, and you’re ready for the fun to begin. High-performance comes straight from the standard setup, but you can tune up for elite-level performance with a wide range of MINI-Z optional parts. With its dynamic maneuverability display model finish, the updated MR-04 chassis takes the authentic RC experience to a higher level.

The Chevrolet Corvette C8.R
America’s Chevrolet based this racing model on its high-performance road car. With a midship mounted 5.5 liter V8 engine producing 500 horsepower, reduced weight and aero parts, the racing version delivered performance far in excess of the commercial road model.
MR-04 Chassis
While retaining the best aspects of the MR-03, the lower center of gravity of the MR-04 delivers significant performance improvements. The easier control of the MR-04 makes it an ideal introduction to RC cars.
Front Knuckles and Steering
Front knuckles with integrated kingpins reduce scrub by 1.5mm on each side compared to the MR-03, realizing sharper and more linear control. The change to 3mm inner diameter ball bearings also reduces rotational resistance.
Front Suspension
Front suspension dynamically aligns the camber angle with movement of the upper arm to maintain optimal tire contact during cornering. Revised caster angle also delivers improved steering response.
Lower Center of Gravity
The car is powered by four AAA batteries. The batteries are mounted lower than the MR-03, lowering the center of gravity of the entire chassis to deliver improved cornering stability and straight-line handling.
Rear Suspension
The rear suspension uses a coil spring damper to cushion shocks from the road surface and improve driving stability. It can also be upgraded to an optional oil-filled shock absorber.
T-Bar Suspension
Flexibility of the T-bar rear suspension plate that holds the entire rear pod, including the motor and rear axle, produces excellent suspension effect. Optional parts are also available in FRP and carbon.
Full Ball Bearings
All axles are equipped with low rotational resistance ball bearings as standard. The same size ball bearings are used for both front and rear for spare parts efficiency.
Tread Adjustment
When changing from the stock body, a parts set is included to change the front tread (vehicle width) to match the replacement body to be installed if needed. Rear tread can be changed by changing the wheel offset.
