MX-01
Indoor crawling, scale terrain
Micro crawler platform with portal axles and high ground clearance. A completely different kind of Mini-Z.
The MX-01 sits apart from the racing-focused Mini-Z lineup. Its portal axle AWD drivetrain, high ground clearance, and crawler-specific geometry make it designed for slow, technical terrain navigation rather than lap times. Mods focus on articulation, traction, and durability.
