PN Racing Double A-Arm wide front conversion is finally here!

For me personally this has been one of the most anticipated parts for my Mini-Z.

PN Racings double a-arm has for many years set the standard for the Mini-Z front end.
The MR-03 version has been fantastic since its release. When adjusted properly it has next to zero bump steer, lots of steering and stability.
However, for modified racing on high grip, one thing you need is quite large offset rims to get the car wide enough to keep it on its wheels. 2 - 3 offset is the norm.

Regular version. Offset 2,8mm

Wide conversion. Same total with.



Wider offset wheels gives for many people an advantage in that it gives more scrub. With more scrub, the car will brake for you, and the tires heat up more and faster. Many drivers uses this to their advantage,
For other people it is a disadvantage, as they dont like the scrub effect, and like to control their braking and corner speed in other ways.
Driving style differs from driver to driver, so no answer is more correct than the other.

The MR-03 is a great car with fast steering response. But one thing is not that great, and that is the servo strength and also a weak servo saver.
If you look closely at the fast cars at your track, or check out some videos on youtube etc, you can see a usual problem on many cars. In long sweepers and fast corners you can see lots of cars with double steer, The car starts the corner good, holds the line, and suddenly it understeers for a moment before it grips again. This is either caused by a tire that looses grip in the corner, or in many cases that the servo just gives up.¨
See video for example.


The load on the servo increases a lot with bigger offset wheels wich are necessary on the mod cars, and the problem increases with the grip level.

The wide version of the Double A-arm will help a lot in these cases. We have found the cars to hold the lines much better, and this again yelds faster lap times.

Reduced scrub is for me personally a good thing, and I really like the way the car handles.
You have a good selection of tie rods in the kit so you can adjust toe angles to your liking. Good fitment, great quality and a good price for what you get.
