RE: Kyosho Mini-Z Buggy
I've gotten in a few good runs with this and its way better than the redcat sumo. Not sure why Hipchips doesn't think so.
I have a stock redcat sumo and its slower than my mini-z buggy. The steering on the mini-z buggy is much better as well. The redcat can't center to save its life. I feel much more confident driving the mini-z buggy.
I'm not sure how it stacks up to a micro sct, but I have a micro DT (all stock) and I think the kyosho is better than that as well. Whether its worth 2.5x the micro DT is up for debate, but I'd rather drive a mini-z buggy than any of the other micro offerings currently available. Its a fun little buggy!

RE: Kyosho Mini-Z Buggy
Love my buggy... A few points to the thread.
Price - The price is high, but this is not a toy. This is a high end hobby quality product with tons of aftermarket parts. You can tune it to your hearts content.
Power - I put a 32 turn motor in it and it's just crazy powerful now.
Here's a video I made of the stock radio.... This was out ofboredom, not to make a sweet video. So excuse the.... well you'll see.
