A NEW BODY and NEW RC UNIT deliver the ultra-realistic formula racing experience from a compact palm-top sized machine. The 2.4GHz one-piece RA-23T receiver-amp control unit requires no frequency band crystals and features Chase Mode that turns up the heat of racing excitement. When used with a compatible 3-channel transmitter (sold separately), the Chase Mode acts as a power limiter to restrict output to 70% of full throttle. However, when the opportunity presents itself, push the 3rd channel button and output is instantaneously increased to 100% for a 3-second burst of speed. Inspired by the boost button on full-size formula racing machines, this new feature dramatically increases the intensity of racing action! Restricting the maximum speed actually allows better driving lines and supports easier control, but once the overtake button is pushed, the machine surges forward like a tiger in attack! However once you’re in front, you become the hunted.
The lead can change numerous times during a race with much more overtaking for thrilling racing battles. Also, the Chase Mode can be set so the overtake button can only be used a certain number of times per machine (optional No.82080/I.C.S. USB adapter and computer are required). This allows you to apply a handicapping system by restricting the number of speed bursts each car can use so beginners can compete on a more even footing with more experienced drivers. Of course, the ASF 2.4GHz 2-channel transmitter for the MINI-Z Racer can be used and an optional gyro can also be installed. The gyro functions by evaluating the running posture of the model and automatically correcting the steering and throttle for smoother control making it easier to drive, especially for beginners. As this set is packaged without transmitter, it is ideal for existing owners of an ASF 2.4GHz MINI-Z Racer, making it economical as a 2nd or even 3rd model. With the power of technology in your hands, the advanced performance of this machine with Chase Mode promises the ultimate R/C formula racing experience.
Hows does the Chase mode Handicap System Work?
The number of 3-second Chase mode speed bursts of 100% power output that can be used is able to be limited for each race. Depending on the driver’s skill level, the number of Chase mode speed bursts can be set higher or lower, and therefore apply a handicapping system for the race. Drivers of any skill or confidence level can compete effectively and enjoy racing with this handicap system.
(Requires optional No.82080/I.C.S. USB adapter and PC to change handicap settings).
