Especially the main board of the MINI-Z RWD and MINI-Z FWD is sensitive and it is strongly recommended to take your hands off the chassis during the gyro initializing process.

My MINI-Z VE does not accelerate smoothly when applying full throttle

Takuji Fukumoto — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 06:35:18 +0000

If you hear noise when you fully open the throttle and the MINI-Z VE does not accelerate smoothly, probably the battery is weak and do not supply sufficient power to the brushless motor. Please replace batteries or use fully charged Ni-MH batteries.

We strongly recommend that you use Ni-MH batteries to enjoy the maximum performance of the VE models.
