This first-generation N60 Toyota 4Runner has been meticulously recreated in 1:24-scale MINI-Z 4x4 Readyset in true rock crawler style. The incredibly detailed injection-molded bodies also feature flexible mirrors and wipers to prevent damage, and the rear cap includes a realistic matte finish with a spare tire to capture the true essence of a highly capable 4WD off-road crawler.

MINI-Z MOLDED BODY DETAILS

Injection molded bodies enhanced with accessory parts recreate a level of detail in the MINI-Z 4x4 series that surpasses all MINI-Z bodies that have come before.

Painted Body

The factory-painted body has so much detail it rivals that of a die cast model. Thicker body material provides more durability, enabling it to survive more aggressive off-road runs. Side-view mirrors, wipers, and antennas are made using a flexible material to make these extremities even more durable. Large wheel flares, heavy duty bumpers with tow loops, push bars, and even chrome door handles and lock cylinders add even more realistic details.

Chrome plated grille & door handles

The first-generation 4Runner's popular style is undeniable. This Mini-Z 4x4 body features the signature chrome grille, window trim, and rain rails. Customize the 4Runner with optional LED headlights and taillights (MZW429R).

Matte roof

The removable roof section of the 4Runner is reproduced in a very scale, high-quality matte finish to simulate the textured finish of the black fiberglass cap.

Rear window

The rear of the 4Runner is reproduced with such excellent detail, including the defroster. At a glance, it almost looks as though the rear door and window can be open separately. Of course they're fixed in place on the Mini-Z 4X4 version, but the detail is unmatched.

Body mount

A newly-designed one-touch body mounting system is used instead of the mounts commonly used on all previous Mini-Z cars and trucks. The new system uses spring-wire retainers to quickly and easily install and remove the body.

Chasis & Geometry details

The same ladder frame and multi-link rigid-axle suspension commonly used in popular 1:10-scale off-road models, is condensed into Mini-Z size for the most articulation and performance available in any mini RC truck.

Ladder frame

The Mini-Z 4x4 incorporates a ladder frame design with steel vertical plates, in combination with various molded parts, to deliver the ultimate balance of of rigidity and flex for superior performance and durability.

Solid axles

Solid front and rear axles feature links with steel rods and captured rod ends. Ring and pinion gears, in addition to other gears and components, feature metal construction to withstand the heavy loads under the toughest driving conditions.

Steel link & Ball end

The upper A-arms and lower links that connect the front and rear axles to the chassis, feature strong steel links and captured ball ends. This is the ideal design for strength, maximum range of motion, and smooth operation.

Adjustable wheelbase

The wheelbase can be changed to 110 or 120mm by changing the length of the spacer on the upper A-link. The 4Runner is set to 110mm.

Coil over type, shock absorber

The newly designed shock absorbers feature 360-degree spring retainers, which means they can't be lost on the trail and the springs are more likely to re-seat when the suspension settles after hard impacts or operating at the extreme limits of the suspension. The spring retainers simply cannot come loose.

Steering angle

The front axle features ideal Ackermann geometry. Combined with the advanced design of the axle housing and the other steering components, This model features the tightest turning radius in Mini-Z history. It means the Mini-Z 4x4 has exceptional handling capability for anything ranging from casual driving to hard-core crawling.

Drag link & Tie rod

The steering servo drag link and the rugged molded tie rod are part of a steering system that delivers an incredible amount of steering angle, which results in excellent rock crawling capability.

Tires & Wheels

Tires and wheels that are specific to each model are a major focus of the Mini-Z 4x4. This model features a scale reproduction of Toyo Tire's export brand "Nitto Ridge Grappler" tires mounted on custom wheels.

Battery tray

Four AAA batteries are located on top-front section of the chassis to ensure good ground clearance and achieve realistic rock crawler performance.

Gearbox and Gears

The gearbox features molded covers and includes 6 pinion gears that allow adjustment from ultra-low gearing for steep terrain, through to high-speed gearing for smooth running on flat roads. In addition, the need for annoying backlash adjustments has been negated with the special spacer mounted on the outside of the motor.

Slipper clutch

A standard slipper clutch protects the drive system by reducing the torque when excessive load is applied. Note the metal upper shaft and primary gear for durability.

18 Full ball bearing specifications

The best drive efficeincy is accomplished with the included set of 18 ball bearings, factory installed to ensure the smoothest most efficient operation possible, right out of the box.

130 Motor

The Mini-Z 4x4 features a specially-designed high-torque motor that is unique in the Mini-Z World. It's optimized for maximum torque, and it develops more power at lower speeds.

New speed controller

The on-board electronics are also unique to the Mini-Z 4x4, with special features that improve the crawling experience. The accessory ports on top of the board allow an optional LED light set (MZW429R) to be easily plugged in to enhance realism.

Steering servo

The component steering servo features its own casing to allow enhanced performance, and it connects to the receiver/ESC with an independent connector.

FH55 KT-531P Transmitter

Included KT-531P transmitter operates on FHSS 2.4GHz and features steering/throttle trim in addition to dual-rate adjustment of steering angle and LED control functions. Control feel has improved with adoption of sponge steering wheel. Gyro effect can be fine-tuned through volume adjustment.

*Not compatible with conventional ASF/MHS/FHS 2.4GHz systems. Also not compatible with KO I.C.S systems.
