rcmonkey.jp reports a handmade Mini-Z MRD drift course next to a grip track in Nagoya
The Japanese RC news site ラジコンもんちぃ writes up a Mini-Z MRD course built beside the grip layout at ラジコン天国名古屋店, with a slippery mat surface and 3D-printed barriers made by regulars.

A Japanese RC news site that credits and links its sources
ラジコンもんちぃ publishes at rcmonkey.jp, running short posts on new RC products, maker announcements and videos from the Japanese scene. Its stated policy on the material we received is credit and link: each post names the maker, shop or channel it is reporting and points back to them.
The material does not say who runs the site, where it is based or when it started, so none of that is reported here.
What it covers is visible in a fortnight of posts: MST's Stealth Anti-Detachment Magnetic Body Mount video, G-FORCE's BLC160 PRO Brushless ESC announcement with reverse-polarity protection and a late-October release planned, the first part of G-FORCE's drift course series on ESCs, MRC's weight and ESC mount for TT-01, TT-02, BT-01 and MB-01, Rlaarlo's teaser for the RWD drift car XDX and its follow-up on the XDX's LSD, plus a hobby show walk-round of RC makers from 麻婆亀仙流.
Track build
The Mini-Z MRD course the site wrote up this week
The post we were given, dated 2 October 2026, covers a video from かずもんちゃんねる titled 【ミニッツMRD】ミニサイズのラジコンドリフトサーキットを作ってみた！, which shows a drift course for Mini-Z MRD set up at ラジコン天国名古屋店, alongside the shop's grip course.
Per the report, it is a handmade layout: a slippery mat is used for the road surface, and red-and-white fences made on a 3D printer by the shop's regulars are placed around it. The post does not name the mat, so it is not reported here, and it does not give the course's dimensions or say what tyres run on it.
Mini-Z is Kyosho's small-scale line, a separate scene from the 1/10 RWD cars most drift tracks are laid out for — which is the reason a course like this fits in the space beside an existing grip track. You can read the post on rcmonkey.jp, which links the video it is reporting.
