AWD plus 4-wheel independent suspension marks a new chapter in Mini-Z history!

The Mini-Z also manages to achieve its shaft-driven AWD system in its minimal size with a precision king-pin strut system 4-wheel independent suspension. In addition, the high efficiency drive system features a specially shaped crown gear and pinion gear in the newly designed diff gear unit. The result is a level of resistance through the drive train about the same as existing 2WD versions to produce true racing machine performance.
