Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Type 3 Mini 4WD Pickup Kit  [17501]

Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle Type 3 Mini 4WD pickup

The Tamiya 17501 JR Sunny-Shuttle brings a scaled lowrider pickup silhouette to the Mini 4WD range, built on the efficient Type 3 chassis. It suits model fans who prefer display-ready builds with authentic low-clearance styling and neat body detail.

Design and chassis characteristics

The Type 3 platform provides a compact, stable base that keeps the model looking proportionate while allowing good rolling behaviour. The rear bumper area is shaped to hold rollers and the body catch resembles an exhaust pipe for visual interest. Small metal-plated spoke wheels and smooth tyres enhance the lowered stance.

Assembly tips and enhancements

Assembly is made easier by the snap-fit parts, so no glue is necessary for most steps. The included Type 130 motor is suitable for casual running, and the chassis can be fitted with Grade Up Parts to improve speed or handling. A sticker sheet lets you add period-correct graphics.
