Kyosho MA-020 AWD Mini-Z ReadySet w/Subaru Impreza WRX STI Body

The Kyosho MA-020 AWD Mini-Z ReadySet with Subaru Impreza WRX Body delivers a high-performance micro RC experience, replicating the iconic Subaru Impreza WRX in a stunning blue finish. This mini RC drift car combines a detailed, pre-painted body with an advanced AWD chassis, ideal for indoor drifting and on-road racing. Equipped with drift tires and a Syncro KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter, it offers precise control for enthusiasts of RC touring cars and scale models.

Performance

The MA-020’s AWD chassis, featuring Variable Camber Suspension (VCS), provides excellent handling on smooth surfaces like hardwood or RC tracks. The high-torque motor delivers responsive acceleration, allowing for smooth drifts when paired with the included drift tires. The gyro-ready circuit board enhances stability during high-speed maneuvers, though achieving consistent drifts may require practice due to the car’s sensitive steering response at higher speeds.

Design and Features

The pre-painted Subaru Impreza WRX body captures the rally car’s aggressive styling with detailed headlights, taillights, and aerodynamic lines, making it a standout for collectors. The AWD system and VCS optimize camber changes for better cornering, enhancing both drifting and touring performance. The compact 1/27 scale is perfect for small spaces, but the delicate body requires careful handling to avoid scratches during crashes. The lack of LED lights, unlike some competitors, slightly reduces nighttime appeal.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The Syncro KT-531P transmitter offers intuitive controls with adjustable settings, making it accessible for beginners while allowing advanced drivers to fine-tune for precision drifting. The 45-minute runtime from the included battery supports extended sessions, with USB charging adding convenience. Maintenance is straightforward due to the pre-assembled design, though the small components demand careful storage to prevent damage. The gyro-ready board allows for optional upgrades, enhancing versatility for experienced users.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run (RTR) Readyset, fully assembled with a pre-painted body and integrated battery. Includes a USB charging cable and Syncro KT-531P transmitter; requires 4x AAA batteries for the transmitter (not included). Suitable for beginners due to its user-friendly controls, but experienced drivers will appreciate the tunable suspension and optional gyro for advanced drifting.
