Hurricane Sonic special overview
The Tamiya 95603 Hurricane Sonic Polycarbonate Body Special marks the 30th anniversary of the Fully Cowled Mini 4WD line, pairing a period-inspired body with modern materials. This limited kit merges a see-through polycarbonate shell and the AR chassis, appealing to both track tuners and model enthusiasts.
Visual cues and aero parts
The clear polycarbonate shell reproduces a high-speed racer profile while keeping mass low. An integrated rear spoiler and separate front wing pieces are included to aid stability, and metallic decals plus the anniversary emblem create a collector-friendly presentation.
Chassis engineering and layout
The AR chassis forms a stable, well-balanced base that handles modifications well. Molded in white polycarbonate-ABS, it offers a rigid assembly platform, and the red POM A components reinforce key joins for repeated track use.
Performance tuning and parts swaps
Builders can explore upgrades with this release. It ships with yellow polypropylene spiral wheels and black super-hard, low-profile tyres that work across different surfaces. The set gear ratio is 3.5:1, and compatible Type 130 motors let racers experiment with acceleration and speed trade-offs.
Putting the kit together
This Mini 4WD is designed for snap-together assembly, making it accessible while still rewarding careful builders. Tamiya PS-57 Pearl White is advised for painting the body if you want a factory look. Note that two AA batteries are required to power the finished car and are not included.
