I am not kidding i flipped when i saw this! It is at this place called sunberries anyways heres the lowdown!
\Just when I thought it would be somehow impossible to get smaller than the mini-z in terms of having the tiniest professional RC, a Japanese company introduced this month (9/2000) another wave of indoor RC bearing the same features that RC fans demand for. The "Indoor Racer" is a real 1/48 scale RC intended for both RC fun and racing. With a scale speed of 300km/h at a mere 4 inches size, it is twice a scale smaller than Kyosho's Mini-z Racer. I thought at first that this is just another one of those RC cars that pretend to be a Pro (by being a Pro RC, I meant all the features that are found on 1/10 and can satisfy the technical aspects that an RC hobbyist want)butI was surprised on the test results; responsive micro servo, real digital proportional speed control, applied reverse brakes does not spin the car,(a good sign of balanced center of weight)working 3 point suspensions, rechargeable batt, pistol grip controller..etc.etc.,The car ran smoothly on flat carpets and steering response was accurate during my parking lot test. Speed control beats the mini-z, for it can inch its way smoothly without the typical nudging movement that you'll see on amp speed controls when the trigger is in between neutral and slightest forward. It's fast and a 2 minute charge can last approx 6 minutes non-stop. All directions control, power switch and charging port under the chassis.
