Precision Mini Drift with the Kyosho Mini-Z MA-020 AWD
If you want to develop smooth drift technique, the Kyosho Mini-Z MA-020 AWD inspired by the Toyota Corolla Levin AE86 delivers an engaging platform. This Readyset mixes compact engineering with behaviour tuned for on-road drifting and tight circuit control.
Why the Corolla Levin AE86 Still Matters
The AE86, often called the Hachiroku, earned its reputation from the 1980s as a lightweight, nimble sports compact. Its balance and rear-drive feel made it popular with racers and tuners, and that heritage is captured in this replica for fans and collectors who enjoy authentic handling traits.
Chassis Details Focused on Control
At the core of the Mini-Z MA-020 AWD is a chassis engineered for consistent tyre contact. The Variable Camber Suspension (VCS) adapts camber through suspension travel to preserve grip, while the optional adjustable gyro unit (sold separately) lets drivers tune steering correction to match skill and surface.
Smooth Drive and Drift-Ready Setup
Ball bearings across the drivetrain reduce internal friction for crisp steering and throttle response. The car ships with dedicated drift tyres so you can start practicing controlled slides straight away, whether you are learning or refining technique.
Radio System That Simplifies Setup
The Syncro KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter removes frequency hassles and includes steering and throttle trims plus a dual-rate steering function for tighter or wider turn response. Training mode helps new drivers build confidence without losing the advanced features veteran pilots expect.
