Introducing the Tamiya 18045 Dash-03 S.S.S. Super Shooting Star

The Tamiya 18045 Dash-03 S.S.S. Super Shooting Star recreates a classic Mini 4WD in faithful 1/32 scale. The kit sits on the flexible Type 5 chassis and includes a 130 motor; note that two R6/AA/UM3 batteries are needed but not supplied. It balances collectible aesthetics with the potential for entry-level race tuning.

Chassis Strengths and Build Notes

The Type 5 platform is praised for being intuitive to assemble while offering space for common modifications. Its layout supports upgrades like different gearing and stabilisers, which helps adapt the car for either display or light competition.

Practical Upgrades for Track and Display

For those wanting extra pace, simple changes such as lower-resistance tyres, alternate gear ratios and improved rollers can make a noticeable difference. The kit is a good starting point for newcomers exploring Mini 4WD setup work.

How many batteries does the kit use?

You will need two R6/AA/UM3 batteries to run the included 130 motor; these are not part of the kit contents.

Is the model easy to assemble for a beginner?

Yes, the Type 5 chassis and clear instructions make the build accessible to first-time Mini 4WD builders while still offering room to learn tuning basics.

What upgrades should I try first?

Start with grip-focused tyres and a tested gear ratio change; those two tweaks often improve lap times without complex modifications.

Can I keep this car mainly for display?

Absolutely, the body styling and scale detail make it an attractive display model for collectors who prefer minimal racing use.
