Quick Look at the Raikiri and Panda Racer

The Tamiya Raikiri (Green) & Panda Racer features a transparent green body over a light green and white chassis that stands out at meets and on display. The sculpted shell is influenced by contemporary sports car shapes.

Shell Design and Aesthetics

The streamlined bodywork mirrors touring car cues for a race-oriented profile while still looking great on a shelf. The Panda Racer mini figure gives a playful accent, and the decal sheet lets you personalise the look with numbers and motifs.

MA Chassis Fundamentals

The MA (Midship AERO) chassis positions the motor in the centre to balance handling and acceleration. Built with six low-drag rollers and a rear skid bar, the chassis improves stability on common Mini 4WD layouts and is easy to assemble and adjust.

How to Tune for Better Laptimes

Consider changing motor type, tyre compound and gear ratios to suit each circuit. The MA layout supports many compatible Tamiya upgrades, so you can refine traction, weight balance and gearing to shave lap time.

Specifications

  • Chassis Type: MA (Midship AERO)

The Tamiya Raikiri (Green) & Panda Racer pairs a striking clear-green shell with the flexible MA chassis, offering a model that is both display-worthy and ready for competitive tuning.

The MA chassis uses a midship motor position to centralise mass, which helps with cornering stability and consistent handling on varied track layouts.
Tyre choice depends on the circuit; harder compounds suit smooth, high-speed tracks while softer tyres give more grip on technical courses.
Yes, the clear polycarbonate shell accepts suitable paints; mask windows and decals carefully and use light coats to avoid adding too much weight.
Tamiya offers many compatible replacement parts for the MA chassis and body components, so common wear items and upgrades are easy to source.
