Do I need special tyres for drifting the AE86 Mini-Z?

Many drivers fit low-grip or purpose drift tyres to encourage controlled slides. Experimenting with tyre compounds and widths can change how the car breaks traction.

What radios work best with the MR-03 chassis?

Compact 2.4 GHz transmitters with mini receivers are common choices. Check Mini-Z compatibility and binding procedure for your radio system before buying.

Is the body durable for regular running?

The factory-painted body offers good detail but should be handled carefully to avoid scuffs. Use a protective clear coat or run on cleaner surfaces to keep the finish tidy.

How do I adjust handling on this Mini-Z?

Adjust tyre choice, ride height and steering trim to tune oversteer or understeer. Small changes can have noticeable effects on drift balance.

Can I use this model for competition?

Depending on class rules, the Mini-Z AE86 can be tuned for competitive Mini-Z drift or scale classes. Verify regulations on allowed modifications before entering events.
