RE: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

Nope, not alone at all!! Let me know what you think if you get it. I've been curious about them as well. Kyosho makes great rc products!! I have a vintage RC10, and sleuth of planes. That video on you tube of a RC G going over a scaled down mountain scene, is awsome! I don't believe, however that this is a mini z. It looks like something else. At $120, you can't go wrong!!

RE: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

Hi all!

I've had the Mini-z G, and modified for pretty serious off road use. Here's pic:

They are cool, and the suspension is fun, but I ended up selling it due to the 2WD factor. No fun if your front arent pulling! Hopefully Kyosho will make a 4WD one...

Re: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

kyosho is and was the best manufacturer for these things from day 1, Tamiy awas too mass produced (though i had many) my favorite of all my collection was the optima mid turbo custom, it still can hold it's own with the newer stuff today,... and no i never want to grow up. LOL!

But the military one you have in the other thread is not a Kyosho but a Nikko correct?

RE: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

Actually, only the body on my military RC G is from the toy. The rest is using hobby-grade RC components from various manufacturers.

RE: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

Unfortunately, no Lexan G bodies are available for the RC community, at least from the distributors I deal with. I thought I saw a REALLY old one on ebay in Europe, but like most old lexan bodies, it'd probably be fragile.

RE: kyosho mini-z G55 overland.

hi ryan,i get my G55 overland tomorow so the fun begins

i noticed the wheels and tyres on your kyosho were different.can you get those in the uk?

if so,put me in the right direction and let me know if i can up the power on it easily

this should occupy me till i get one like yours

incidently,what batteries do you run in your rock crawler G and how long do they last?
