MINI-Z OVERLAND MV-01 Chassis Set ASF 2.4GHz
2
http://www.kyosho.com/mini-z-support/
Thank you for purchasing this product. This series uses the latest 2.4 GHz ASF system. The increased
processing speed of the RA-18M receiver amp unit delivers significantly faster response and the use of
high-efficiency FET contributes to sharp acceleration. For maximum enjoyment of this product,
please read this manual. A wide range of MINI-Z optional parts are available.
Please refer to the website below for the option parts list.

Safety Precautions
5
Do not operate the model on public roads, in crowded places
and near children. It may cause accidents.
Even when the power on the MINI-Z model is switched OFF, there is
still a low current flowing. In order to turn the power OFF completely,
all batteries must be removed from the model. If batteries are left
in the model, the batteries may overheat, ignite or leak.
Please remove all batteries after use.
Always turn power switch OFF and remove batteries when
removing
the body. Touching the circuit board and battery
terminals is dangerous.
Do not touch moving gears. They can cause injury.

6
During and after operation, the motor and batteries will be hot.
Do not touch them until they have had time to cool down.
Do not run your car in sandy, dusty, wet conditions, or on thick/soft
carpet. Such surfaces can damage its operating parts.
Do not use water, alcohol, or thinner to clean your car's body.
Simply wipe it down with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not install any option parts not made by Kyosho for this model.
To avoid causing irreparable damage, do not attempt any modifications.

Safety Precautions for the MINI-Z Series
/ Circuit Breaker
1.
The motor wiring is fitted with a circuit breaker that cuts power to the motor when heavy loads or damage to the
motor causes excessive electrical current flow. When this occurs, the motor will stop running.
Once the circuit breaker has been tripped, retrieve the model, turn the power off and remove all batteries.
After about 5 minutes, the circuit breaker automatically resets and model can be operated again.
*When the circuit breaker is activated, the surface becomes hot. Use sufficient caution to avoid burns.
/ If the Circuit Breaker Trips Repeatedly
Possible reasons for the circuit breaker tripping repeatedly are outlined below. Be sure to rectify the cause of the
problem before operating the model.
Solution Stop applying the throttle and return it to neutral.
The model is being forced against an obstacle and cannot move forward
2.
Solution Remove the motor and roll the chassis to check if the drive system is rotating smoothly.
If it is not rotating smoothly, it is possible that dirt or fibers (threads etc.) may be caught. Remove and clean the
gears, shafts and bearings of dirt and fibers. If this still doesn't resolve the problem, the motor may be damaged
or worn out. In this case, replace with a new motor. Or, install the optional bearing set to reduce resistance
through the drive system.
Resistance in the drive train (gears & tires)
3.
Solution This can occur if the gear ratio is too high-geared for the space available to run the model.
Rectify by returning to the model's original gear ratio setting (this is also the ratio for optimal acceleration).
Gear ratio is not set correctly
4.
Solution If the model is operating at high temperatures or has been run continuously for some time, the circuit
breaker trips more easily. Allow the model to cool down after each 5 to 10 minutes of operation.
This will also increase the life of the motor and FET.
Excessive loads from continual operation
