Mini z transmitters, compatibility and what you need to know/ KT18,KT19, EX6R, KT432PT,KT531, NB4

[@jaaz77]

This is the absolute best explanation I've seen yet! How do the Futaba transmitters compare to the EX-6 and other high end transmitters for the Evo's. I can't wait for the comparison vid.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I'm going to get the Futaba next. It's a good radio, but I've just not needed it. Yes coming soon.

[@andrewyork8513]

Got to appreciate the NB4 update. Super helpful video! Kind upf frustrating, 1 doesn’t do all, but it is what it is!

[@mikeb835]

Great video right here. I did hours of research trying to figure out what you said in 13 minutes. Its all a little confusing with all the different models out there.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Thanks mate. I bought a few cars then realised not compatible with tx I had.

[@sammybaka]

Love your mini-z passion and helping the community understand all the nuances that aren't always clear with people. I don't live close to the UK but I hope the website launch is going to be smooth and productive! On the topic of transmitters, I don't have a ton of experience like you as I only use the kt-531p and radiolink rc4gs. Recently, I looked into this, but unsuccessfully, whether kt-531p can bind with anything other than ffhs mini-z since I'd really like its compact size for travel.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I will research for you, Ps I love the radiolink. 👍

[@sammybaka]

@@GarageMiniRCUK Nice and thank you! I think I've watched almost all your videos. GLA with a drift objective sounds awesome. 👍

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Yes its always when you discover something new about a car you have that the fun starts.... A simple adjustment and you have a different car... So much fun.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I think there is a kyosho reciever (fhss) that will work in other rc cars(not mini z) that might work with it. I'm looking into it.

[@sammybaka]

@@GarageMiniRCUK Thanks!

[@miniracersus]

Finally someone made a complete video 👌🏾

[@4acae86]

I’m pretty sure you can also use a lot of the KO Propo transmitters. I use a EX-2 to control my MHS cars and it can switch between Mini Z and regular RC receivers. This is a great video since it’s a little hard to find this info. Thanks!

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Yes you are correct... Might have to make a part 2 🤔👍

[@rajeevpariyarath]

Very helpful.Thank You

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Thanks for the view my friend.

[@TriAdX]

The fly sky noble nb4 has a module you can plug into the tx that will let you use it for all fhss mini z.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Yes. Came out last year. Thanks. I'm tryign to get one.

[@stk247]

Hey there, You didn't touch on Futaba and Kyosho use/compatibility.. is that because you don't have those or because they aren't as good as those shown? Side question; my local shop has a mr03 Evo sp.. I'm considering it as my first mini. Will I be able to race and drift it (home use)?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I don't have the Futaba but it is, good. The evo sp can't drift. It does race well.

[@machoman5356]

Can I use Futaba 4pm with with RM005 module to run stock mRo3 with syncro? Or is that Kt-432pt only?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I think mr03 runs with synchro as stock . The futaba is for the evos . I’ve not tested futaba yet

[@lawrencewinter]

Hi garageRC. I have a MA-020, and love it. I am using it to race with friends on a private carpet track. I have the kt531 controller. I am finding the right turning is weak (due to the battery mass on the left I presume...). My question is, are you suffering this issue? And is this issue mitigated at all with the synchro-touch controller? Considering building a MA-3 but since I have a nice sanwa for 1/10 racing I'm tempted to go BZ3 and ditch mini-z due to their awful compatibility with sanwa.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Synchro controller does help as it gives adjustalbe end points and more steering control. If you want to get serious then don't waste time with synchro save the money for a race set chassis like gla or bz3 and go sanwa or nb4.

[@vapeurdepisse]

Looking to buy the Jeep crawler but I'm sorry to see that the throttle isn't as gradual as I would like (seeing various comparos). Looks like I'm looking for a transmitter upgrade to KT432PT to get a custom curve? Would that work to get a very gradual response for low-speed fun?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I'll test it out

[@vapeurdepisse]

@@GarageMiniRCUK looking forward to that!

Hi, I’m wondering who made the dual side damper for the chassis of the Enzo.

[@thenextaeon]

Hi am new to mini z(and basically the world of RC cars)here. I’m wondering if it’s possible to use other txrx like Futaba or such as the receiver units don’t look like they fit onto any kyosho models. The Kyoshos all look like they use a proprietary chip instead of those receivers bundled with transmitters

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I am about to do a video about this . The evo models now other options via 3rd party company . So you can use sanwa , flysky cheaper models other than nb4 .

[@Marximarks]

@@GarageMiniRCUKI will be looking out for this video. I am also new to mini Z (but been doing 1/8 and 1/10 electric and nitro cars) and I am curious if there is a receiver option to use my Sanwa MT12 transmitter. I was looking to get NB4 but if I can use my MT12, it’ll save me money. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Look up mxo racing . They have evo range sanwa rx .

[@doingyamom]

I may be a bit late here but does anyone know of any alternative (preferably cheaper) controllers that can be used in place of a KT-18? I lost my controller a long time ago and I want to get my mini Z running again but I don’t want to break the bank. Anyone have any suggestions?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

I think the only cheap option is a used kt18 . Where are you located ?

[@TheEtienne55]

Exactly what I was looking for! I still have doubts tho. I am waiting for an ma020 (celica wrc) which comes with the KT531, and also have the mr030ve coming. The mr030ve only takes the kt18/ex6r. My question is, can I change the receiver chip on the mr03ve to use the kt432 on both?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

If it's the older ve then no. If it's the newer Mr03 evo then yes

[@TheEtienne55]

I managed to get the jkb86 50th anniversary edition, with brushless and bearings out of the box. It states that it’s only compatible with ASF tx. When I was checking part nos, apparently I would he able to pair it with a Ko Propo ex-rr.. not sure though..

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

You might if it has mhs? Otherwise ex6 exr or kt18

[@kalinkha]

[@ahmedghamdi1668]

Can I control mini z MA-020 with flysky nb4 ? The flysky receivers I found is only for evo chassis

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

You can if the nb4 has the mini z fhhs module or software

[@Quintanater]

I’m alittle confused. Purchased a mr-03w and a nb4 and I can’t get it to bind. Do I need a different receiver?

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

hi , only the mr03 evo and ma030 evo can bind with nb4 as it has interchangeable receiver chips .the standard mr03 and ma020 cannot bind to nb4 .sorry to hear this . hope this helps .

[@kevinmonroe4887]

Late but hope this helps if you haven't solved this issue and I'm sure you have but.. Flysky fs rm005 module allows you to use your nb4 on all of your mr03 and ma02 models

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Yes this works it’s came out a few months after I made this video . I haven’t done video on it yet .

[@kevinmonroe4887]

Awesome content.. Definitely subscribing! As for the nb4, those modules are readily available at A Main hobbies online. I got mine under 30 bucks. I just got into mini z (and rc in general) and already hooked..2 cars but both are the rtr versions and tired of lugging around 2 radios. Problem solved! I do hope that you make a vid on this as I had to find that module myself. The tech at my local hobby shop had no idea they existed. Perfect for someone like me that's new to the hobby because it's plug and play.

[@krissfly]

New to mini z. I recently picked up a MS 1 and. Is has no brake it goes straight to reverse. Is there some way to reset or a way to program the break? Thanks

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Mr01?? Original miniz had no brake.

[@krissfly]

@@GarageMiniRCUK I don’t know what model this is. The servo says MS 1 And the speed control cover says ra 1 .. it came with a Volkswagen bug body and it has an antenna so it’s an old one. I picked up a couple of the new ones and the track me and the Grand kids are going to have some fun.

Goto throttle then travel, then highlight where it shows F and change from 100 down to say 50. You can also go up to 150! For punch goto dynamics and change punch

Hi You mean the sychro touch KT-432PT?

[@raydec9777]

Garage RC. No. I mean the kt-331p. For the 020- awd Toyota Corolla

So overall which is the best one just for the evos, and what’s the difference between the nb4 and kyosho touch screen for this car, which one performs the best

Oh I get it my bad. So I use the same receiver for those in my non mini z cars yes.
