Don't let a lost micro-part ruin your track day. The Kyosho Mini-Z AWD Small Parts Set is the ultimate lifesaver for 1/28 scale racers. Because Mini-Z cars are so compact, the suspension and chassis rely on incredibly small plastic retainers, clips, and ball ends that are notoriously easy to drop on the floor or break during a hard crash into the boards.
This factory replacement "tree" of parts provides all those crucial OEM black plastic components necessary to rebuild your suspension, secure your chassis, and keep your AWD Mini-Z tracking straight and true.
Key Features
-
Factory OEM Replacement: Manufactured by Kyosho to the exact tolerances of the original kit parts, ensuring a perfect, slop-free fit for your suspension geometry.

Complete Assortment: Typically includes the essential easily lost items like:
-
Upper and lower suspension ball ends.

Shock collars and piston components.

-
Stealth Black Finish: Molded in standard black composite plastic to match the factory chassis aesthetic of most MA-series cars.
-
Must-Have Pit Item: Experienced Mini-Z racers keep at least one of these sets in their pit box at all times, as finding a dropped 2mm plastic ball end on a dark carpet track is nearly impossible.

Installation Advice
The "Tweezers & Towel" Trick: Working on 1/28 scale cars requires patience and the right environment.
-
Work Over a Towel: Never disassemble a Mini-Z over a hard table or, worse, your lap. Lay down a light-colored microfiber pit towel. If a microscopic spring or plastic clip shoots out, the towel will catch it and stop it from bouncing onto the floor.
-
Use Tweezers: Trying to snap a 3mm ball end onto a pivot ball with your fingers will usually result in the part flying across the room. Use fine-tipped modeling tweezers.
-
Check for Binding: After snapping new plastic parts onto metal pivot balls, ensure the suspension arm moves freely under its own weight.
