The Jimny Sierra’s popularity is earned through a commitment to functionality and performance. This 1:18-scale MINI-Z 4x4 Readyset accurately recreates the signature features of this very popular compact Japanese 4X4 truck, like the unique square body shape and the bold wheel flares over the generous wheel wells.

Injection molded bodies enhanced with accessory parts recreate a level of detail in the MINI-Z 4x4 series that surpasses all MINI-Z bodies that have come before.
The factory-painted body has so much detail it rivals that of a die cast model. Thicker body material provides more durability, enabling it to survive more aggressive off-road runs. Door mirrors are produced with a combination of gloss and matte finishes, while wipers, windshield washers, rain rails and door hinges add even more realistic details.
The unique styling of the Jimny is recreated with the signature five-slot front grille, round headlights that can be fitted with optional LEDs(MZW429R), and turn signal lights and driving lights that add even more detail to these already very scale trucks.
Jimny Sierra’s over fender is accurately reproduced with a black matte finish.
The hinged rear door design of the actual Jimny has an element of function in addition to its convenience. The vertical glass makes it difficult for snow to accumulate, and it also features a spare tire with a wheel cover accessory. All details faithfully reproduced on the 4WD Mini-Z Jimny.
A newly-designed one-touch body mounting system is used instead of the mounts commonly used on all previous Mini-Z cars and trucks. The new system uses spring-wire retainers to quickly and easily install and remove the body.
The same ladder frame and multi-link rigid-axle suspension commonly used in popular 1:10-scale off-road models, is condensed into Mini-Z size for the most articulation and performance available in any mini RC truck.
The Mini-Z 4x4 incorporates a ladder frame design with steel vertical plates, in combination with various molded parts, to deliver the ultimate balance of of rigidity and flex for superior performance and durability.
Solid front and rear axles feature links with steel rods and captured rod ends. Ring and pinion gears, in addition to other gears and components, feature metal construction to withstand the heavy loads under the toughest driving conditions.
The upper A-arms and lower links that connect the front and rear axles to the chassis, feature strong steel links and captured ball ends. This is the ideal design for strength, maximum range of motion, and smooth operation.
The newly designed shock absorbers feature 360-degree spring retainers, which means they can't be lost on the trail and the springs are more likely to re-seat when the suspension settles after hard impacts or operating at the extreme limits of the suspension. The spring retainers simply cannot come loose.
The wheelbase can be changed to 110 or 120mm by changing the length of the spacer on the upper A-link. The Jimny, for example, is set to 120mm.
The front axle features ideal Ackermann geometry. Combined with the advanced design of the axle housing and the other steering components, This model features the tightest turning radius in Mini-Z history. It means the Mini-Z 4x4 has exceptional handling capability for anything ranging from casual driving to hard-core crawling.
The steering servo drag link and the rugged molded tie rod are part of a steering system that delivers an incredible amount of steering angle, which results in excellent rock crawling capability.
Tires and wheels that are specific to each model are a major focus of the Mini-Z 4x4. This model features a scale reproduction of the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires mounted on Suzuki factory-replica wheels with an aluminum-like silver finish.
Four AAA batteries are located on top-front section of the chassis to ensure good ground clearance and achieve realistic rock crawler performance.
The gearbox features molded covers and includes 6 pinion gears that allow adjustment from ultra-low gearing for steep terrain, through to high-speed gearing for smooth running on flat roads. In addition, the need for annoying backlash adjustments has been negated with the special spacer mounted on the outside of the motor.
A standard slipper clutch protects the drive system by reducing the torque when excessive load is applied. Note the metal upper shaft and primary gear for durability.
The best drive efficiency is accomplished with the included set of 18 ball bearings, factory installed to ensure the smoothest most efficient operation possible, right out of the box.
The Mini-Z 4x4 features a specially-designed high-torque motor that is unique in the Mini-Z World. It's optimized for maximum torque, and it develops more power at lower speeds.
The component steering servo features its own casing to allow enhanced performance, and it connects to the receiver/ESC with an independent connector.

Sponge grip of the steering wheel provides comfortable fit for precision control feel.
Included KT-531P transmitter operates on FHSS 2.4GHz and features steering/throttle trim in addition to dual-rate adjustment of steering angle and LED control functions. Control feel has improved with adoption of sponge steering wheel. Gyro effect can be fine-tuned through volume adjustment.
