Mini-Z RWD MR-04 McLaren 12C GT3 2013 Orange

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Proven GT3 Legend on a Next-Gen Platform! The McLaren 12C GT3 has long been hailed as one of the absolute best-handling bodies in the history of Mini-Z racing. Its wide, ultra-low stance and balanced aerodynamics make it incredibly forgiving to drive fast. Hobby Hideaway is beyond excited to offer this iconic orange racing shell paired with the revolutionary new MR-04 chassis. Whether you are hitting the track for your very first practice session or looking to dominate the AAA Class, this Readyset delivers an unmatched blend of next-generation steering precision and proven aerodynamic stability.

Revolutionary Front Suspension & Wide-Track Stability The brilliance of this package lies in the ground-up redesign of the MR-04 chassis combined with the McLaren's wide footprint. Kyosho completely re-engineered the front suspension, integrating the kingpin and steering knuckles to drastically lower the overall center of gravity. When applied to the wide front track width of the McLaren 12C, this ultra-low CG means the chassis stays perfectly flat through high-speed sweepers without traction rolling. Furthermore, the newly upgraded steering potentiometer and revised gear ratios provide a steering feel that is lightning-fast and unbelievably linear.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Next-Gen MR-04 Chassis: The latest evolution of Kyosho's rear-wheel-drive platform, featuring a completely redesigned, ultra-low front suspension system.

• Factory-Finished Body: Includes the breathtakingly detailed, display-quality McLaren 12C GT3 2013 body in a striking high-visibility orange.

• Wide/LL Configuration: Configured with a wide front end and a 98mm (LL) wheelbase for maximum cornering stability and mid-corner speed.

• Enhanced Steering Precision: Upgraded steering potentiometer and optimized gear ratios deliver razor-sharp, linear steering response.

• Readyset Package: Comes completely assembled right out of the box, including the reliable Kyosho Syncro KT-531P 2.4GHz transmitter.

• Ball Bearings Included: Equipped with a full set of precision ball bearings for maximum drivetrain efficiency and longer run times.

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Because the wide-stance McLaren 12C carries so much speed through the corners, the stock plastic T-plate (the piece connecting the rear motor pod to the main chassis) can sometimes flex a bit too much under hard acceleration out of a sweeper. One of the best early upgrades you can make is swapping the stock plastic T-plate for an FRP (fiberglass) or Carbon Fiber version! This instantly stiffens the rear end, giving the car much more "snap" and forward punch as you roll on the throttle exiting a turn!
