Love these. I bought one a while back and almost immediately bought 4 more for my wife and kids. Got some exercise mat tiles cheap to make our own RCP style track for about $100 cheaper. Would love it if someone organized a race in North Houston!
Man back in about 2006 I had a whole fleet of Z's, track in my basement.. My oldest boy and I were into racing outdoors and wanted some winter time fun between outdoor seasons..Ended up with 6 cars and weekly fun runs with family and friends for about 3 winters.. LOADS of fun..
You gotta buy a Kyosho RCP Mini 96 track like the one at Lonestar hobbies. Only about $300. Think about the races with the kids when it's raining outside.
Really looking forward to more Mini Z content. Took my son to watch the club races and found out the also do Mini-Z. I am getting my start in buggy hopefully this year and son saw the Mini-Z’s and fell in love! He’s dying to get one and race. Now we just have to figure out how to rig the lotto and we’ll be all set! Lol Great vid as always Mark!!! Keep em coming!
Just tried my 1st mini Z tonight at my local RC shop...it was great and fun...but messy...I was all over the place...oh well...love the channel....Chesapeake, Va. signing off.....Coastal RC Speedway and Hobbies.....X Mods....have them too....
Set up correctly these cars are AWESOME....I have 3 with all the hop ups and we raced them FULL throttle, they handle like if they were are on RAILS. Get all your hop ups from kenos hobby. Best place for all your mini Z items.
Nice video on these cars out of all the RC's I own, you can spend 2-3 times the price of the car on mods! Not saying that's a bad thing, it just gets addictive buying the upgrades! But when they're hooked up! Awesome!
Gotta thank you for this one as I loved it! Picked up an awd GTR 34 and started fooling with it about 6 weeks ago. Soon after I ended up picking up a 35 then got it a bearing kit; that’s the wife’s. These things are addicting they are so much fun! Hope you and your sons enjoy yours and you post up some mini z vlogs now and then. Thanks!
Hey mark. So I just got back in the hobby and my local hobby shop has mini z races. I got the last mini z which is the orange McLaren 12c. I love racing the mini z and have taken first class in the b mains. I'm glad to see u get into the mini z.
hey mark, I love your videos. could you please let me know where I could get that stand you store your tekno cars on as I need one for my et410 and eb48 and yours is perfect. please reply... thanks
You can set up some braking by trimming the throttle so when you release the trigger it applies gentle reverse. Then use less sticky front tires so you have a little less front tire grip. This way you car is not prone to spin outs and it will feel like it is smoother on the corners. There are a LOT of tweaks that will lead to winning races. Or at least becoming more competitive. Some race tracks require you to remove reverse. Backing up into traffic is sometimes a No No. Also.. they should clean dirt off the track with a mop.
Would you recommend the LM or the MM platform as far as overall performance? What is more popular from track perspective. Plus’ or minus’ of either? I heard some say the Audi R8 mm is the best one but I’d like to hear other people’s opinion as that Toyota GT-One LM looks amazing. I’m looking into picking up a pair. Thanks for your help!
Man! Wish I had a LHS like this! All I got is a hobby town with absolutely 0 spare parts or products that anyone would ever want. It’s honestly pretty sad 😂
I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one of those mini z meclauren for my dad here soon as well as im planning on building a 4wd group b rally car for him. most likely going to use a arrma Typhon or some buggy like wit a Porshe 911 body. getting some of those Emax fpv cars for almost all my little brother since im the oldest of 7 it's kinda my job. last week went and showed my dad and brother my cars and other rc stuff. can't wait got birthdays coming up and Christmas and I have to start now or ill never get it done
Looks like your son was pretty good on the track. When I went to Lonestar Hobbies I got to try it out and ran about a 7 second lap. What was both your lap times? Getting the itch to go buy one!!!
Nice vidz bro. I am getting my son into this hobby too. 4 years old and starting him young. I've got a question bro... in the stock Transmitter, is there a way to limit the throttle out put? I mean, i wanna set it in a way that if my son goes full throttle, the car is only going half the speed... i know what u r thinking bro but you know kids.... i am still pretty sure that the default 'training mode' setting are still too fast for a 4 yr old beginner.
If I find myself at a mini-z race, i'm definitely picking one up. Looks like fun. What type of batteries does it use, and how long do they usually last? They look like AAA or AA size.
I always wanted one man never got one cause there aint a track for em near me but they are cool as shit an fast as hell when u upgrade them as well they move for there size

These remind me of the xmodz that radio shack sold back in the day. I had a civic and loved it
Bro u fucking right I use to love those lol bringing back memories 🤙🏽
I had one too
Haha i had the civic too haha
I had a Supra , evo , and the firebird
Had the Acura TL
"Why can't I get my own, though?" Because I've only done a few laps. Wait til we get halfway through the video. Dads. 😁
Awesome. Such a great video experiencing another aspect of RC and hanging out with your kids.
Amazing... COFFEE AND RC. BEST. COMBO. EVER.
Just ordered my first mini z today! I'm hoping to get a good handful of us together and starting a group of us racing
Man this might bring me back to RC. I really like these little cars.
So cool of you hanging with your son. What a great dad.
I bought two mini z today. From your favorite hobby shop. Bill was great to talk with. Thanks
Thanks for showing new stuff. Now I got to find them around me.
That’s really cool how you and your son can just go to a shop and race mini z
Need more shops like this in the uk
Love these, got a awd skyline r33. Sick drifts and with grip tyres an awesome grip racer. I have the gyro installed too

I think I may want to get one.
I had the Xmod car it was cool, now I wanna try kyosho.
Mini-Zs, reminds me of slot cars. That got expensive too.
Exactly over rated for me
Thanks for making this video. I was curious about the mini z set up at lonestar and this answered all my questions!
Just got my first one. It's really fun.
Lonestar is so close yet so far from where I live, I wish there were more hobby shops near me
questionably_xavier same bro, I feel you. They closed all the hobby shops in my city AND the only track. 😢
There so much fun im on my 2nd mini z, awd and rwd gtr love them!!! Totally worth it!!

How well do they run on just road? Like regular roads?

Blaines World the 12 c is sick! I almost got that one!
@@MarkSantaMaria I'm telling u the body is the best one and it handles the best.
Welcome to Mini-Z. You need to get tires and bearings.
Hard facts!
Kinda like rock crawling
I'm looking to get into mini z but don't know
what to look for...
Many groups on Facebook to help. Look for one in your local area. Shops you can buy stuff. MC3 in Canada, Kenon is the USA, wolfram RC in the USA, etc
That was awesome!
I love the rc car's
That’s SWEET,Them cool looking cars 👍
Sweet I'm going to get one next month
6:46 mini summit love
It would be cool if you did a review on the kyosho mp9 tki4 readyset
Something my kid would check me on hahaha
“I want my own rc” hahaha
Very cool! I just don’t think I could get into them? Never know?
That Package though! I do Coffee too!🤤
Your a great dad.
I can't wait to tell my son that No he can't have a toy, but he can play with the one I'm about to buy for myself 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man, that small course is dope. Awesome vid Mark. :D
hey mark, I love your videos. could you please let me know where I could get that stand you store your tekno cars on as I need one for my et410 and eb48 and yours is perfect. please reply... thanks
Looks realy fun
Very Cool
Ethan loves it, you look like you just want to go bash tour traxxas lol 🍻
Damn...the coffee plug!
I race a GLRacing of 102 mm and I've noticed it's improved my 8th scale driving
You should go to RCCA in Ft. Worth!
that looks fun!
Wait until you try drifting with it! Bet you’ll love it
No Mark, that’s not how the cookie crumbs it’s how the wallet opens!! Haha i know the feeling because that is why I own Rc’s in the first place!!
I definitely gotta get me an on-road rc, love the content mark!🤘🔥

Interesting. I kept spinning it when I released the throttle.
the mini z buggies look super cool they also have mini z trail trucks and a monster truck but i think thats discontinued
💪💯🚀🔥 buddy of mine has a couple of the Mini Z's... Cool, quick little cars.
How do you like the rear-wheel drive cars? I had the silver Mercedes and didn't care for it I was thinking about getting an all-wheel drive
You picked that up quick once a racer always a racer! If it has wheels and a remote Mark can race it. Lol

Try awd mini z to drift super fun
nice mark
That was real decent! 👏 👏
Now I want one
Awesome
Man! Wish I had a LHS like this! All I got is a hobby town with absolutely 0 spare parts or products that anyone would ever want. It’s honestly pretty sad 😂
Those Mini-Z look like fun!
Minus the lack of mask wearing going on there .....Covid ain't fun
Hows being a sheep? Fun?
@@thomasgross8289 didn't realise sheep could get covid 19............
I think he's a raccoon based off the profile pic
@@thomasgross8289you make no damn sense
yo thomas its realize, and your last name should be moron but gross will do
I would get the AWD for drifting. If u have a wooden floor at home would be perfect
Great video I enjoyed watching.Ethan is really good at driving those mini z.You should get a track for the house or just make one.
Its crazy... we are here now and everyone is confused how this 8 year old is killin it... hahaha
I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy one of those mini z meclauren for my dad here soon as well as im planning on building a 4wd group b rally car for him. most likely going to use a arrma Typhon or some buggy like wit a Porshe 911 body. getting some of those Emax fpv cars for almost all my little brother since im the oldest of 7 it's kinda my job. last week went and showed my dad and brother my cars and other rc stuff. can't wait got birthdays coming up and Christmas and I have to start now or ill never get it done
I still have a xmod. With all the upgrades
Cool!
How many slits do you put in the tyres and does this make them less likely to grip roll?
Are there mini z tracks in most hobby shops?
Cool
Any tips on what car I should get as a beginner car under 200
mini z is so cool!! i have 3 :D
What tires do you recommend
Well, looks like I'm into mini z now!!!!
Which directions do lines on tires go
Let the kids win
What is that track and where can I get?
Still best content Mark! I've checked out the other RC guys videos and they're BOR...ING! Let us know which coffee was the best.
Remind me of my best xmods
Waterproof?
I can not find a mini z anywhere trying to get one...also not sure if i want awd or rwd
Looks like your son was pretty good on the track. When I went to Lonestar Hobbies I got to try it out and ran about a 7 second lap. What was both your lap times? Getting the itch to go buy one!!!
Here now and my 8 year old just ran a 6.7! Hes probably gonna beat me tonight.
Mark Santa Maria that is awesome!!! Maybe he should start his own vlog on mini z mods and racing?

I see a track showing up in the old podcast room
If I find myself at a mini-z race, i'm definitely picking one up. Looks like fun. What type of batteries does it use, and how long do they usually last? They look like AAA or AA size.
Im looking at these but dont have money for one cause dang there expensive
Wait so y was the ones packaging was all Chinese like the yellow box set?
That car do you choose is the Audi R8 lms ultra from team phoenix the 24h Nürburgring winning car Mega
Where is lone star at
Richardson Tx
Northwest corner of Coit/Beltline
Thx
I’d love one of these but then here in the uk don’t no where to take it to use
Same challenge anywhere in the world surely.
I want a mini z so much
I always wanted one man never got one cause there aint a track for em near me but they are cool as shit an fast as hell when u upgrade them as well they move for there size
Matthew Acevedo
If you want one man, just try a dating app.
Sounds like my son. (Why cant i have my own?) Lol
Also if you want better tires for the mini z they make ones that's call PN racing tires.
👍🏿👍🏿 Cool
