Awesome video very helpful. Thank you for keeping everything in the video. So many people just cut to it being done and testing but I like the meat and potatos and appreciate you showing everything you go through and that everything doesn't always just fall into place. 👍
Any issues with your gears after a while? Seemed too much of a gap. Also did you use the smaller side of that motor case? Seemed impossible to squeeze the wires through it
Informative video. I was looking at adding a Furitek to my Kyosho Jimny. Sleekun makes a 3D printed kit for an electronics mount and a mount for a regular 3 wire servo. I use his body lift kit and adaptors for 1.0 wheels. I haven't seen any other installs of the Furitek yet
That is the first up close look I have seen of the Kyosho Mini-Z. I think it will be a great performer. And I have always loved the look of their bodies! Great video brother!
You have probably already figured this out, but when I installed my furitek brushless system in my SCX24, it was stuttering like that until i used the bluetooth capability on the ESC to update the firmware...runs buttery smooth now!
Just followed across from Tomley and i like your channel, loads of good vids which we will work our way thru. Great upgrade, cool wee thing. New sub :)
Great video! I'm considering doing all of these upgrades. I would like to buy that Dumbo esc since it seems to fit well. Just curious what remote you are using. Also considering buying a nice receiver like a flysky. Would that be able to pair? Sorry for all of the questions. I'm new to this
I am happy to answer all questions I can! The dumborc receivers is great but it can only pair to a dumborc remote to my knowledge, most remotes and receivers only work with their own brands, flysky is an awesome brand too though and has even smaller receivers, they are just a bit more expensive.
So I was reading through the comments, are you saying the engine tick sound went away with the fw update? Any tips on what kind of changes if any you made in the app? Great video though. I just did full conversion with the Akashi and new servo too.
Cool video, gosh I’ve been back and forth about the conversion. You should try two 3.7 volt AAA batteries plus two dummy batteries in your 4 runner. Helps the servo and speed. Love my mini z 4x4. The stock motor with the upgraded AAAs isn’t bad. My mini z weighs a full pound and performs great. Thanks for the video!
Right on, it’s all about the servo with the mini z 4x4. If you happen to try those 3.7 v AAAs. Let me know how it compares to the furitek conversion. Slow crawl looked better and the servo looked really fast. The 3.7 v battery upgrade was one of the best upgrades I did for my mini z. Tires, shocks and the batteries were my top 3 game changers for the mini z. Metal steering linkage helped a lot as well. I got a little carried away and upgraded just about everything, lol.
@@thedailykrawl7084 Do you have bigger tires on your rig? I am also going back and forth on my mind on getting this conversion. But if the AAA mod changed the way stock servo works I'm down for that to try it out. I have all my mini z brass and aluminium so it's quite heavy and my stock servo is struggling with the brass weights and 1.0 wheels and tires.
@@juancarlosdelcid9984 the servo still struggles but it is better. Mine weighs exactly one pound. I have a set of hyrax tires. The motor that comes stock isn’t bad. I glued my slipper clutch together when I first got it. After adding all the weight the motor stripped out my axle gears 3 different times before I bought a new set of slipper clutch gears. So having a ton of extra torque doesn’t really mean much because of the slipper clutch and the weak inner axles. I’ve seen ways on how to change out the esc and servo and keep the layout somewhat the same. The batteries help but it’s not a complete fix. Plus you’ll get a little extra wheel speed. More volts means more power.
@@thedailykrawl7084 thanks for sharing. I just swapped the motor for a mini z speed house awd that is for the drifters and it totally changed the power of the car. It adds a bit of more punch and speed and I'm happy with that extra punch to it. The only issue is the servo that barely can handle my 1.0 wheels and tires.
An Emaxx is the right size but the servo in the Kyosho has a weird proprietary mounting system, there are some 3D printed standard servo adapters that I could get so I can mount a better servo but I haven’t gotten that far yet lol
I'm about to pick up all the furitek stuff for my 4runner miniz. My one question right now is do I still use the stock transmitter or do I need the furitek one as well?
@@UpperLeftRC thanks for the quick reply. I want to thank you for your videos as well. Your videos are helping me start modding my Mini-z 4Runner and Jeep

Glad you enjoyed it 😄👍🏻
awesome video, i've been waiting to see someone do the conversion and a very honest review at that.
Great walk threw . Makes me want to get one of these and challenge my son's and his scx24 lol.

Yes I had this issue as well, I had to trim the motor casing in order to make it fit

They are pretty awesome little rigs! Appreciate the support bud 🤘🏼😄
@@UpperLeftRC any time man!

Yeah that’s the same thing I had to do 😄👍🏻
Now that I've swapped electronics in my other 2 custom 24s, I freed up a Micro komodo to put in my Mini-Z! Gonna have to do this!
🤘🏼😄 heck yeah!
Great video! Thinking about converting my miniz 4x4, this Really helps explain the process.
Just finished my conversion parts took forever to arrive but it crawls way better
Right on! 🤙🏻 I’m glad it came together and crawls better now 😄

Brilliant stuff man. Wish I had skills like yours I would def mod also. But since I don't, I love mine best as stock..lol.
Right on! Ain’t nothin wrong with them stock 😄👍🏻
@@UpperLeftRC 👍
To me it sounds like the rhythm you hear is the gear mesh. It also seems like it crawls better
It does seem to crawl better now, your probably right about the gear mesh 👍🏻
Amazing looking build, were tyou able to use the stock servo using the adapter?
nvm
im silly like that
Sounds like a diesel lol that's awsome wicked better than stock! I know what I'm doing asap
Heck yeah 🤘🏼😄
Awesome video man. Sweet idea going with the other receiver. Will a Emax servo fit in it maybe that will help with the glitch 🤔

Yeah. Mini z front servos are whack lol.
Cool
Hello from southeast alaska
Howdy 😄👍🏻
I'm about to pick up all the furitek stuff for my 4runner miniz. My one question right now is do I still use the stock transmitter or do I need the furitek one as well?
The stock one will not work, you could get the fruited one or another cheaper transmitter and reciever if you like
@@UpperLeftRC thanks for the quick reply. I want to thank you for your videos as well. Your videos are helping me start modding my Mini-z 4Runner and Jeep
Shock at 3 volts?!?!? 😂
Would you plz link me the tires you installed in your baby?
Hi, can you tell me what wheels & tyres those are please & do you get an body rub? Thank you!
1.0 RGT wheel and tire combo, you can find them on eBay and no I don’t get any tire rub 🤙🏻
Was it hard getring the wires to go through and line up the shaft ?
No that part was not to bad
Did ur kit come with the bolts to the motor to the motor mount ?
I don’t remember if it had the bolts or not but I imagine it does come with it
Did you get the stutter figured out? It should be smoother at low speeds seems like
Yeah it was an update in the Furitek app, cleared it right up
I don't think that the kit is good enough for me to buy yet.
What did you do to remove the spare tire?
Unscrew it from the body
Did you have to use a different controller or were you able to use the original one?
Had to use a different controller, the Furitek ESC doesn’t plug into the original ESC/receiver combo that comes stock in the truck
So the motor can't be used with the original ESC?
No you have to have an aftermarket ESC and there are not very many options other than the Furitek lizard, that I’m aware of
@UpperLeftRC that's what i figured as well but 1 question does this motor makes the top speed way faster than the stock as well?
It’s not much faster for top speed it’s more just really good at having torque at any speed so you can have very slow and smooth control
Do you have any links to the setup
furitek.com/products/furitek-folivora-brushless-power-system-for-kyosho-miniz-4x4?_pos=5&_sid=f74a06c9b&_ss=r
Try FMS battery
I will! 👍🏻
Where do I order those tires and parts?
Tires I found on eBay, the parts for the brushless conversion can be found on Furiteks website
LIKE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How were you able to rotate the motor inside the case? YOU CUT the most important and most difficult part out of your video.
Unbolt the motor and pull the whole thing out of the red case then Slide the wire and motor back into the case the correct way
