just received my Mini Z Overland
I just received my Pajero Overland. This is one cool Mini Z! The car is typical Kyosho quality and the transmetter is the same perfex as the other models. This thing is fast and is a blast to drive around the house as it goes through carpet with no problem and has good traction on the hard wood floor.It will tackle small bumps and goes over my 1" PVC track barrier with no problem! The only strange thing was the car was missing one front wheel bushing and the antenna for the car. Lucky for me IM a Mini Z freak so I had plenty of spares to get the car up and running.

I was looking at those. How good is the handling and how rough of a suface can it run on. Toyeast has them for $126. Who else has them for a good price ?

The handeling seams great. It has a slight amount of understeer and is a little bouncy over the bumps. I have not driven the car outside yet but it looks like dirt and small (under1") bumps will be ok.

I wonder how long it'll take before someone converts there overland into a 4wd ONROAD mini-z,That'll be really cool.

Hey irc-
do you have any pics of the overland? Actually I'm really curious about the suspension... it's set-up and what adjustments can be made.
Thanks,
B

it looks as if you can adjust the wheel base and IM sure optional shocks and springs will be available.

irc- Thanks for the pic! Yeah that does look like it'll have some fun aftermarket parts.
feathercraft1- I think it's 2 wheel drive, last time I heard anyway.
The overland is definetly very cool, 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive the clearance and suspension travel make it more versatile than the mini-z. I think that'll make it popular aswell.

if it was around 70 shipped i would pick one up.. but 125+shipping is a bit too much for my wallet.. maybe if it was 4WD then id prolly spend 100. but only if it was cool lookin. and fast. and proportional
