The Dash-1 Emperor Premium from Tamiya updates a beloved 1988 Mini 4WD design on the adaptable Super-II chassis. It offers a satisfying mix of period styling and modern upgrade potential for track-oriented builds.
This version keeps the original silhouette in white ABS plastic, giving a period-correct rally look. A comprehensive sticker set is provided so you can customise the shell to your preferred livery.
The durable black ABS Super-II chassis is designed for stability and tuning versatility. Blue ABS A-parts and the easy locking gear cover help with neat assembly and lasting reliability during races.
With a 4.2:1 gear ratio and large slick tyres, the Dash-1 Emperor Premium aims for quick acceleration and steady handling. Builders can fit Grade-Up Parts such as high-efficiency motors, specialised tyres and weight tuning elements to match different tracks.
The kit includes a Type 130 motor and needs two AA batteries (sold separately). Assembly is mostly snap-fit, so it is approachable for newcomers while still offering parts and adjustments that experienced modders expect. The car is compatible with standard Mini 4WD track configurations.
Tamiya's Dash-1 Emperor Premium combines authentic retro looks with a flexible Super-II platform, making it a great candidate for hobbyists who like to tune and race their Mini 4WD cars.
