The Tamiya Slash Reaper is a Mini 4WD model that pairs aggressive styling with chassis engineering geared toward technical track riding. It appeals to modders who want a compact, responsive platform with striking looks.
Borrowing cues from off-road buggies, the bodywork features strong creases and vents that assist motor ventilation and lower overall mass. The Gun Metal and Orange combination delivers a bold, race-ready appearance.
The VS chassis offers a compact layout and light weight, helping the car stay nimble through twisty sections. It uses front 16mm rollers with rubber rings for improved stability, and the built-in 4.2:1 gear setup aims to balance speed and control.
Builders can fit a variety of motors, tyres and gear options to tune handling and pace for different track surfaces. The shell also fits MS and Super-II chassis, allowing flexible equipment choices for racing or display.
The kit is assembled using snap-fit parts for a clean build that suits newcomers, while painting and detailing remain optional for those who want to personalise their model.
The Slash Reaper on the VS chassis is well suited to racers who prioritise agility and tuning options, and it also makes a strong visual addition to any Mini 4WD collection.
