 Building a USB ICS adapter for Kyosho Mini-Z and dNaNo cars is easy if you have some basic soldering skills.  The ICS adapters used by these cars are basically a low voltage serial port that uses 1 wire to transmit and receive data.
 
+If you would rather buy an inexpensive USB cable built by us you can use the Buy Now button below to buy one for $35 plus shipping. This cable is built using the instructions detailed on this page.

-=== Warning ===
-Do not try plug a cable directly into the Kyosho ICS port from a serial port on a computer.  Computers serial ports operate at +/- 12 volts while the Kyosho Mini-Z's operate around 5 volts and dNaNo's operate around 3.7 volts.  Without some sort of circuitry between a standard serial port and the ICS port to change the voltage level you will damage your Kyosho board.
