Diff grease viscosity on a Mini-Z gear diff changes how the car rotates on corner exit. Thicker grease = more diff lock = more push. Thinner = more rotation. Most racers never experiment here. It's free speed. #MiniZ #MiniZMods

Use a setup board to measure your Mini-Z ride height at all four corners. If the car sits unevenly, your springs, spacers, or T-plate mounting isn't consistent. Fix the foundation before adjusting anything else. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
If your Mini-Z MR-03 understeers on corner entry, try removing one front spring spacer before changing the T-plate. Lowering the front end shifts weight forward and increases front grip. Free fix. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
Not every Kyosho body fits every Mini-Z chassis. Wheelbase, offset, and mount points all vary. Before you buy, check compatibility here: https://minizmods.com/guides/body-compatibility/ #MiniZ #MiniZMods
Set your Mini-Z steering dual rate to 80% and work up, not 100% and down. Full steering throw causes snap oversteer on corner entry. Dialing it back forces smoother inputs and often produces faster laps. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
How often should you clean bearings, re-grease diffs, and check screws? Here's a maintenance schedule so nothing sneaks up on you mid-season: https://minizmods.com/guides/maintenance-schedule/ #MiniZ #MiniZMods
Mini-Z maintenance isn't glamorous but it's the difference between a car that's fast on lap 1 and a car that's fast on lap 50. Neglected drivetrains don't announce failure. They just get slower. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
Store your Mini-Z with the front wheels pointed straight and the power switch off. Leaving the steering servo loaded to one side accelerates gear wear and drains standby current. Small habit, longer servo life. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
Check your wheel nuts before every session, not after. Rear hub hex screws in particular: if they back out mid-race, the wheel deflects and wrecks your handling. A small dab of medium thread locker on rear hubs is worth doing once and forgetting about. #MiniZ #MiniZMods
