this is a blog dedicated to DC's (mine) hobbies...mainly little kyosho mini zs at the moment. in addition you will find stuff related to 1/10 scale on road r/c's and stuff related to car modification done to full size car.
this blog focuses on 1/28 scale model cars by Kyosho under the branding of Mini-z. these cars are not like those toy cars you buy at the toy store, but are rather like their 1/10 scale hobby grade counterparts, fully proportional control, ability to hop up and replace parts...and real quality making them enjoyable to race and run with a group of people.
why mini-z? i started in r/c car hobby many many years ago playing with the 1/10 scale electric and fuel powered cars. when mini-z first came out they definately had appeal to me, but at those times i never got around to getting one (spending on parts/hopups for 1/10). with time, focuses shifted away from r/c, as other things such as work and school, and going out did not give me much time to mess around with 1/10. suddenly mini-z seemed perfect. i got one, and then another, and another...and i became addicted. currently i now have 4 fully functioning z's, 2 MR02s, an MR015, and a F1, a modest collection of 8 autoscales, maybe adding a 9th (still on the fence about getting a GTi), enough parts to make at least one more MR02 roller (no electronics). in addition, i have a ozite track in progress =).
in all honesty, i think Mini-Zs are really fun, and as rewarding as 1/10, although only costing a fraction as much. for people wanting to get into the hobby, i think Mini-Z is the way to go haha.
