How To Install Mini-Z Grip Tires The Correct Way MR-03 

Awesome, this is the exact situation I was trying to help with! The PNR label is great but is still managed to put the radials on backwards he first time 😂

Hahahaha it slipped out 😂 🔥🌲

Wonderful! Its great to hear that my videos are helping people out, especially beginners. I hope to one day cover every mini-z topic so I can have an "encyclopedia" of videos for beginners to come and research on my channel. I remember when I first started it was so hard to find information, but luckily the community is growing & information is more readily available. Thank you for this wonderful comment, hearing stuff like this makes my day! For the car name, I actually really like "BooMeR" that you gave me on the previous video.lol I think I am going to go with this name, I just need to change it in the transmitter to make it official ;) Stay safe out there my friend!

@@BMR3 yeah! I'm glad you liked the name, you're right, as a beginner few people help you and tell you how it goes better or worse, you're not the case, that's why I appreciate more what you do; well I see it .... "MINI-Z, the BooMeR Video Library" ha! ha! ha! I appreciate you friend, take care !!

LOL I can make a video about installing tire tape if it will help

Hey Chris, the basic idea is to run the softest possible tires you can get away with. Softer tires wear out quicker & sometimes they can have so much bite the car will “traction roll” when aggressively cornering so it’s a balancing act between grip level & tire wear. You have to experiment to find the perfect compound for your driving style & surface conditions. Since your in the garage you also want to take the surface conditions into account, i.e. the dust & debris levels. You want to wipe down the track (leaf blower works too) every time before you use it. Even a small amount of dirt on the tires will cause you to lose traction. For tire type, I recommend flat/smooth tires since more contact surface = more grip, but radials will work fine too so don’t sweat it too much. As for the size, just make sure the tires match your current rims. Since your running on smooth concrete you want soft compound rubber tires, foam tires are for high traction carpet tracks. Hope this helps brother & good luck!!

@@BMR3 thank you for the response. It will go a long way helping me narrow down the selections available. I will probably order a couple different levels of the smooth surface soft compound tires and see which ones I like. I'm sure they will wear out and by then I will know which ones I really like and just reorder those particular ones. You are correct the surface gets dusty since it is in the garage underneath where I park my car. My drift car loves the surface but my speed car not so much. What is your experience with a drift car on a carpet surface? I have thought about laying down smooth tight matte outdoor carpet. But as I increase the traction for my speed car I will probably hurt the drift car. It would be nice to find a balance between the traction I need for the speed car and still be able to drift on it with the right combination of tires or a different surface

@@BMR3 hey man let me ask you one more question real quick. You have multiple different cars and like me want to do both drifting and track racing. I think you could give me some help on this. So the cars I bought are the Wltoys ones. The 969 and the 989. Was browsing around on RU-vid and saw a couple videos of these that reminded me when I was a kid having fun with RC cars. Made the impulse purchase because they were cheap and did not know if I would use them a few times and never touch them again or actually get into RC again as a hobby. Well I'm having fun with them but I'm finding out that as their $69 price tag would suggest to have the most fun with these a lot needs to be upgraded. All the electronics would need upgraded to go brushless or add a gyro. The differentials and suspension components are not the greatest. And parts aren't easy to come by. I'm thinking about an Amazon return on these vehicles for something better that doesn't need so much upgrading right out of the box. If you had a buddy wanting to get into this hobby and get a vehicle for race and a vehicle for drift which would you recommend? Not critical but if they were both the same brand I think that would help in the long run if parts were somewhat interchangeable. I think I want to find some better vehicles and any pros and cons you can give me of the nicer ones would be helpful since they are not cheap but I realize you get what you pay for. The RC track in my area doesn't carry or know much about these little cars so I'm on RU-vid trying to get the information I need. Any advice you can give me on what your favorite vehicles are for drifting and racing would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you

I have seen people bind multiple mini-z cars to the kt531p, I’m not sure what the limit it but you can bind at least 3-4 to the stock controller. You just have to make sure the other cars are turned off when running one of them. The Kt432pt that I use has a 30 model memory if I remember correctly.

Yep, simple process. Be very careful & remove the side mounting clips from inside your body. Then you just position them higher in the body & reglue them in place. Presto, all done. When you mount it back on the car the body will sit lower. It might be smart to mark the original position so you can actually gauge how far to adjust the clips. Hope this helps & good luck!! (P.s. be careful you don’t lower the body so far down that the tires run then suspension is flexed)

@@BMR3 thank you very much! But arent this clips glued to the body?

Yep, they are glued in but I have seen multiple people online saying they removed the clips & repositioned them. Be super careful when you do it. Maybe heat up the body with a hair dryer & use an exact-o blade to gently remove the clips.

@@BMR3 thanks man!

TomBreProduction you are very welcome, please let me know how it goes if you reposition your clips. Good luck & have a good day man!

Thank you my friend, have a great day!

Hey man, newbies are welcome! There are only two sizes, the front tires are always narrow & rear tires are wide. There are also the larger LM size tires, but those are clearly labeled with an LM on the package. Let me know if you have any further questions!

Thank you for responding, do you know any good websites that sell cool rims and tires ??

Batman21 I buy everything I can from Kenon hobby, they are the official US distributor for PN Racing, so supporting Kenon helps support the community. Here is a link to the MR-03 section of PN tires and rims: www.kenonhobby.com/Wheel-Tire-Parts_c_182.html Let me know if I can help you any further 😉

How about rims ?? And thank you for helping just ordered a pair of tires

Rims are in the same section, but here are about 11 pages you have to look through to find all the different styles. You can also check under the Kyosho upgrade parts section for the MR-03, they will have more rims with different styles from PN.

Lol *dental pick was the word I was looking for 😹

Do you have a link to the dental dab tool you use

No I don’t have a link but I found it at a local smoke shop for $1. I’m sure you can find a cheep dental pick kit online

😹😹😹 watch the full video or listen next time, I used PN Racing tire tape.
